Comments on this reflects the state of the human condition. This sizzle looks freaking amazing, it showcases a wide veriety of different difficult shots, expensive, over the top and intense. Traditional tools here would make any of these scenes extremely expensive to make. Yet with something like Runway this becomes a lot easier. Majority of industry people and creatives are still in the dark completely of what goes into making a sizzle like this. The creative planning, the process, and of course the execution. You'll see commenters blast the same narrative: "AI slop", "who will watch 4 second clip movies", "no storytelling", "yap yapping yap yap". They are looking for a binary answer to a nuanced situation. When I'm arguing that Hollywood is cooked, you first need to understand what Hollywood is. Just take a look at the credits of any big blockbuster movie. 90% if not more on the credit list, will be VFX. So while you might have 2 writers, 2 top actors + 3 supporting in a movie, you'll have 1000+ vfx artists. Hollywood is not the top actors, or the writers, Hollywood is the VFX teams, the post crews, the gaffers and tech staff, the set builders and everything in between. But if I can virtually create any set, cast any character, create any visual effect I want in minutes not months. My creative exploration and output will 10x easily. Now do that with everyone on a production team, and you are going to see gains that make the industrial revolution look like a delayed flight. There is no doubt we are in the middle of a total reset of everything as we know it. The only thing holding stuff back is viscocity in society and peoples hate for change. The winners are the early adopters, the people that are understanding that change here is unstoppable. I personally have met many people who are now as single or small teams building and creating generational wealth from working with these tools. No BS. People are printing money. With no end in near sight. Learn to whisper to these tools, and up-skill yourself, you'll thank me later.
