SEEDANCE 2.0 , the MURDERER of FILM INDUSTRY
Leaving aside its copyright infringements etc which is another matter , here’s my take on Seedance 2.0
@ssrajsmouli is the no. 1 director because he makes the most expensive films and the most successful ..People fund him a 1000 crores or more because of his track record and all that again is due to his unsurpassed creative imagination ..But now In a country of some 120 crore people, who knows how many more Rajamoulis or even better than him are there in small towns, villages, engineering colleges, and government jobs right now?
People who have creative vision , but who will never get access to neither the film industry nor funds to put their vision on screen ..The opportunity gate is locked for them and the keys are only with a few chosen ones
Now Seedance 2.0 just kicked that gate down and set it on fire.
This can take just their descriptive prompts and create a cinematic, multi shot, sound designed, devastatingly impactful scenes that look like they cost 100s of crores and took months or years to make.
Suddenly, a creative guy in Gorakhpur or Coimbatore or Satara or wherever, doing a mundane job to feed his family , who can’t even afford to come to Mumbai can just write a scene and the likes of Seedance makes it for him and that is true democracy in motion
Real democracy is taking the tools out of the hands of the elite and putting them in the hands of the people. Seedance just did that to cinema.
Back then , Nagarjuna had maybe some 10 guys to choose from , when he picked me for Shiva.
Today, thanks to the likes of Seedance 2.0, he will have a thousand or more options , out of which 990 could be better than me
A director’s “primary job” is to take a scene on paper and transfer it onto screen using actors, cameramen, editors, production designers, VFX studios, action directors, dancers, musicians, location managers, light boys, spot boys etc and now advanced versions of the likes of Seedance 2.0 will eliminate that entire ecosystem.
No more star issues
No more producers panicking over budgets.
No more “we’ll fix it in post.”
No more 300 people standing around waiting for one shot.
Just one person.
One prompt.
One mind.
The moment advanced versions of A I can generate full length films at theatrical quality, the film industry as we know it with its unions, its crores of “overheads,” its “only we know how to make films” arrogance will die
Not slowly.
Not peacefully.
It will get murdered brutally
But at the heart of it , this is actually the liberation of cinema.
The dinosaurs had their 100 year reign.
Now the asteroid has arrived.
And its name is A I
Welcome to the new era.
Where only talent matters more than access.
Where the murderer is also the saviour.
And there will be no going back ever
So is it THE DEATH OF THE FILM INDUSTRY ? or is it THE ULTIMATE DEMOCRATISATION OF THE FILM INDUSTRY?
