The new EPL season starts this evening with the @OfficialFPL fantasy football kicking off as well. 😎⚽️.But wow, their tie in with @AdobeExpress to do a 'make your own team badge with AI' workflow is a friction filled Firefly hot mess of misery. 🤨😩 and I know what i'm doing.

One less flashy application of @runwayml Aleph - something that comes up a lot in post : simple clean-up. For a comedy project i'm doing, Veo3 often annoyingly puts captions over the top with the audio - Aleph removed it with ease! 😎 One for all you lovers out there! ❤️

A great example of why Gen AI video isn’t just typing in prompts. As has been the case for a while to those in the know - hybrid workflows are the future: multiple Gen AI tools + old school VFX workflows + knowing what you’re doing = success. This is the way.

As i've said a fair bit, 3d spatial interfaces are unsurpassed for precise unambiguous control of composition, camera blocking and timing. A definite positive trend emerging across Gen AI platforms 😎.
Introducing 3D Motion. You can now turn any image into a 3D motion video on Morphic.

Yay! Early access to @runwayml Aleph. Simple phone based mocap + previz done with the excellent @QuickMagic_cn and restyled in Aleph using a simple image reference and prompt. Silky smooth! .Nice to see v2v in Gen-4 finally and some great options for combining CGI + AI

The premium open source video model is back ! Even better it supports modest hardware (8MB VRAM) via a 5B parameter model. I feel its going to be a busy week testing stuff like this. 😉.

Quick stress test with early access to @mago_studio_ai dedicated v2v platform with lo-fi previz in Maya and single frame restyle in @freepik (via Mystic). Nice granular controls and up to 60s gens with great quality and temporal stability. Gen time isn't great (> 40 mins for
