What value is there in adapting the animated medium to live action?
no idea--just making it for fun
prompters turn gold to shit and then shrug and go "i dunno lol"
If this were written satire it would be called hackey and too on the nose.
an infinite array of such cases
"You chose to do this to Princess Mononoke specifically because of its themes of technology corrupting nature allows your project to be an Iron-ic (sorry can't resist the pun) way to show the devastating influence of AI 'art', right?"
"It's what themes? I just think it looks cool!"
More likely he's just into the hot princess
Soft-spoken cursed man X blood-smeared wolf girl
- "I improved the princess! Now she looks like a hot realistic waifu, like the tens of thousands I already prompted and hit enter about!"
"The Mononoke trailer is a shot-for-shot remake of the trailer"
shows trailer side by side
is not a shot for shot remake by any standards
What if he got shot for each shot in penance.

Jesus Christ don't we have enough evidence at this point that replacing beautifully animated works of art with live action is always a bad proposition?
You only need to do this shit when you don't want to pay a screenwriter or a director to do the designs for an original piece of art. "Oh, everyone liked The Movie: Animated? We can just gut the dialogue, set design, art, framing, story, iconic characters, and soundtrack, then tell people we made it better by using live performers."
AI strips it down one more level and just changes how the art is rendered. Damn, the problem with Princess Monenoke was THE GRAPHICS WEREN'T GOOD ENOUGH. It's not even "live action". It's just performance tuning.
Miyazaki getting the production crew from Homeward Bound and making a live action live animal film maybe could be fucking awesome. Idfk. But This. Ain't. It.
I don't think adaptations are necessarily anti art. There are a myriad of books, films, stage performances, animated shows and animated movies which are adapted from each other which showcase a beautiful story in a variety of forms.
The issue is doing this shit for a cash grab and not actually trying to create a beautiful adaptation of a story.
Defacing of beautiful hand drawn animation like Mononoke should be considered defacing art or at the very least, vandalism.
We're gonna find out that the grifters are actually also just chatbots.
Spiritually there is no difference.
I will still argue otherwise, that well before the treat printer flood there were already thousands or even millions of credulous rubes all repeating the same SpaceX ad copy about "humans must become interplanetary species" and "can't have all our eggs in one basket" and "mankind must leave the cradle" all on their own.
I mostly do this out of spite for the habit those assholes have of calling anyone they disagree with "NPCs." I'd rather treat them as willing and voluntary stupid asshole cultists who chose to be stupid asshole cultists.
I thought they already did a live action adaptation?
I was recommended a Japanese channel that did this with FF6 and it was just awful
You had airbrushed ai waifu Terra and Celes with doll-like faces just kind of lounging around boobily making porn faces and the Magitek soldiers were just American troops in desert camo
Magitek soldiers were just American troops
Hope Miyazaki sues his ass
Y'know I'm an easy going guy generally, but anyone unironically saying "Kling credits" as if that's a real thing needs to be taken out and [REDACTED]
Sounds like some shit from Rick and Morty lmao
The tweets gone, guessing our friend didnt like the feedback
All my kling credits! Gone!

He is a very special Main Character and he pressed the correct keywords into the prompt which makes him an artist.
If it's AI then it's also not live action.
Digitally-Undead Action.
Watching the side by side it’s easy to see how much of this is completely devoid of technical considerations. AI is capable of tweening images, but each shot is framed more or less like a portrait with no movement. I think that turning a storyboard into a live action film will be a viable pipeline at some point in the next couple years, but it’s going to involve just as much process development as it is going to revolve around technical achievements in AI.
We can complain all we want about how this guy burned down a forest to make a shitty fanfic recut of the Princess Mononoke trailer, but looking at his costs and the costs of making movies in general, it’s hard to argue that this isn’t going to become a thing.
"I burnt down an acre of the Amazon rainforest so you can watch a trailer for a shitty version of your favorite anime"
It's fitting that the first "AI" slop presented to
was some edgy zombie creature, and that started talking about a friend with chronic pain and physical disability that he felt was insulted and disgraced by the garbage he was seeing on the screen.Miyazaki made the guy he was talking to cry. I kinda felt bad for the guy, but at the same time I'm happy Miyazaki called out the gross ableism.
Fuck yea! I love disconnected scenes with 0 continuity between them (I know this is a trailer but all ai slop is like this) and photo realistic people with PlayStation 1 era lip sync!
Maybe with enough uncredited and underpaid labor to nip and tuck the output, the resultant Mechanical Turk can fix it up enough to be blockbuster slop.
That shit looks so bleak and generic, especially the exhaustingly tiresome universal waifu template that only gets hair variations.
Of course the computer touching proselytizers will herald this as the future of cinema, and maybe it will be, in a way that makes cinema that much worse if enough of the public are fine with getting shoveled pandering slop even while having a nagging feeling of ennui that they might blame on residual wokeness in the treat printer prompt or something.
I feel as though we're entering a period of low-budget indie movies that rock (your random assortment of A24s, really indie stuff like The People's Joker, Hundreds of Beavers, etc).
And then we've got the AAA shit that is all style, no substance. AI means even the style is rubbing away.
I don't think we'll ever run out of "good cinema". We've been making movies since the 1930s that have been incredible, and producing the back-catalog of Movie Mindset (anything before the 1980s, really) has become easier than ever. But I can see a point on the horizon where I'd never want to go into a theater again.
Hold on, is this why porky ever started having mercy on minority groups? Some Pavlovian training to get the masses to associate worsening material conditions with no longer having the government sanction hunting minorities for sport?
Possibly.
During the Civil Rights struggles of the 60s and 70s, the capitalist answer was to sell a cheaper exploitative version of the movement. It was called, fittingly enough, "Blaxploitation."
I tough it was something related with the rings of power series because the girl looks exactly* like the hobbit
