Send Spencer Pratt packing. Vote for @nithyavraman for Mayor of Los Angeles. @cd4losangeles

If you care about Los Angeles and want to get real journalism about what is happening in our city, how our tax dollars are being spent you need to follow Kenneth immediately

@ElDirectorSV @JSFILMZ0412 yep, and if you're doing video extension to accomplish this shot... you're doing it wrong

@mattsapien_ @JSFILMZ0412 It's right there in the video man? Can't you see it? Have you extended videos with Seedance 2.0? If you have, you should know what I'm talking about. And for the record, it's not only Seedance, it appears all AI models struggle with extending.

You can tell in the comments who has actually used Seedance 2.0 and who hasn’t.

@ElDirectorSV @JSFILMZ0412 contrast and slight scale changes, yes. but you should not be getting pixelation. what reference video are you uploading and what is it's purpose?

@mattsapien_ @JSFILMZ0412 Well.. I've done "high quality" frames, in fact; I extract last frame from the video and upscale it to 4k with nano banana pro, and still, for some reason Seedance 2.0 grabs the resolution of the video reference and mess up the contrast and introduces some pixelated artifacts.

@ElDirectorSV @JSFILMZ0412 No it doesn't degrade the longer the gen is. The reason it's degraded in this video is because OP did not use a high quality start frame for hi stich

@JSFILMZ0412 I wonder if the gradual loss in quality and artifacts is the reason most models cap the generations to 6, 9, 12, and 15 second generations. It's very noticeable in Seedance 2.0 and any other model. Everything else is fine.

@BrianRoemmele I’ve never gotten this much secondhand embarrassment from a video before. Ever. And I’ve made it through some tough watches.

The underground Saskatchewan Rap scene was off the hook in 1990. NSFW?

@taherdhanera I've directed 6 and 7 figure projects yet never owned a camera worth more than $250. For me, the camera was always a tool, not the reason. I see the pure storytellers embracing AI while ppl who obsess over production gear protest.

Some traits I notice in anti AI voices within filmmaking: They confuse tools with talent. They romanticise process more than storytelling. They defend tradition, but forget cinema itself was once technology. They fear automation, but ignore how every era replaced old workflows. They believe AI removes human emotion, while audiences still connect through ideas, direction, rhythm, and meaning. They focus heavily on how something was made instead of what it made people feel. They underestimate how fast independent creators can now compete with studios. They see AI as the death of cinema, not the evolution of visual language. They dismiss experimentation too early, the same way digital filmmaking was once dismissed.

@MiddleOfMayhem @LeadingReport me too

@LeadingReport Ross Coulthart says he lies in a field at night and tries to summon alien space monsters with psychic powers.

CIA is reportedly obstructing the disclosure of UAPs, UFOs, and potential alien life, per Ross Coulthart.

@Rahll @JSFILMZ0412 @Husky_321 he used continuity when the word he actually wants is 'continuous.' the meaning of words evolves over time (just like film grammar) so perhaps it will change Biggest problem with this oner shot is he didn't upscale the transition frame and lost a ton of quality in the 2nd clip

@JSFILMZ0412 @Husky_321 What hole am I digging? I'm pointing out that you don't know anything about film.

AI Hater: “Seedance 2.0 can’t go past 15 seconds without breaking continuity.” Me: Hold my keyboard.

@WriterMcG you are right and wrong. director/editor/storyteller is king. traditional film grammar still matters, for now.

Never ever get into on-line arguments over the relevance of "screenwriting" or "directing" or "producing" or "composing" when it comes to motion pictures. THEY ARE ALL ANTIQUATED PROFESSIONAL MONETIZED LANES THAT COLLAPSED IN GEN AI. Arguing about these old solo skills pretends they still matter to YOU. They do not matter as single craft lanes anymore and pretending otherwise will just make you into a walking artifact of the past, very soon. YOU ARE THE LANE AND THE INSTRUMENT NOW. What truly matters is that you can and should ignore all of the whines from the replaced and forgotten and keep going telling the stories you want, HOW you want, when you want, while knowing that AUDIENCES prefer many different venues and story experiences and have no hard on for polish and perfection and a perceived heavy lift to get the thing made. There is just as many ways to meet an audience as there are ways to engage in storytelling. It's a new reality. You in it or pretending you're immune?

@cwebbonline LA leadership literally cannot get any worse, might as well give him a shot

Spencer Pratt, SAVE LA? Dude is trying to save his own personal brand for a “Mayor” reality show he already agreed to film, even though he hasn’t won anything. Now there’s a mystery campaign van cruising LA while voters are supposed to believe the trailer park storyline, even though he’s living at the Bel-Air Hotel. This city is not a reality show.

@AllarHaltsonen turns out AI still can't direct for you (yet)

People flex their Claude skills for video workflows but still make trash. Automated trash.

@UnsocialB86776 @chrisgpt so far it doesn't. my first run with supercomputer is it works for storyboarding and image generation but the video gens themselves were poorly directed and underwhelming. it was also extremely expensive to use.

@chrisgpt End-to-end AI video pipelines are going to reshape content creation entirely. The question is whether quality scales with automation. Intrigued to try it.

so it turns out i was right. higgsfield launched super computer, and it lowkey just replaced a lot of YouTube AI startups It owns the entire pipeline from prompt, research, script, voiceover video editing, thumbnails literally everything. best use case i’ve found: cinematic trailers. you hand it a concept, it routes the shot list across seedance, veo, kling, soul, nano banana, stitches the montage, locks identity across cuts. finished asset in one task. 12 skills at launch, runs in the cloud so it keeps generating after you close the tab.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ literally like codex but for videos

🤣🤣

@HeyAbhishek just used it on a brand film i'm behind on and caught up on at least one day of work. holy fuck.

AI video is getting out of hand.. Pippit just added Seedance 2.0 and creators going crazy creative with it. People are building full short dramas, AI comic-style series, and faceless story channels. Here’s how it works:

@leomeethewoo THANK GOD

This is a joke btw We make awesome handmade launch videos for fintech companies, check out some of our work below intently.agency

Filmmakers are so cooked This Agentic Editor made this video in 20mins, only did 3 changes

@aintscd @0hour1 I think this will end up being a first amendment case, whether or not saying the n word constitutes fighting words... which is not constitutionally protected speech

@0hour1 Are you retarded? You can't physically assault anyone due to words. First amendment exists for a reason. Fuck is wrong with you.

Chud approached the man yelling at him. Argument ensued Man hit Chud Chud shot him all on tape Stand your ground probability unlikely.

@MiddleOfMayhem you a real one steve

Taxpayers already paid for these military videos of blurry birds and balloons. But the only way to currently see them is if you spend $15 to buy UFO grifter Jeremy Corbell's vanity documentary about himself. (Corbell is copyright striking anyone who shares this clip)

@jadeh Have had nightmares about this exact thing throughout my career. Felt the most real living in a tiny studio in Koreatown. I hid my drives in multiple places. I don't say it lightly, your trailer actually looked promising. Keep going friend, you owe it to your talent.

I was robbed of my entire career 2 years ago. 20k worth of damages, 10 terabytes of project drives stolen, including my debut short film I recently found the trailer on my old phone. Pretty much the only proof the film ever existed

he’s so good at it i almost punched the screen
