Re: Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
Computers will ruin animation! 3D tools will ruin animation! Motion capture will ruin animation! AI will ruin animation! Miyazaki's reaction seems to be the intended one for the most part. The AI created animation incongruous to what humans conceive as plausible and the results were disturbing. I'm sure the results would… -
Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngZ0K3lWKRc And the article: http://qz.com/859454/the-director-of-spirited-away-says-animation-made-by-artificial-intelligence-is-an-insult-to-life-itself/ A really interesting reaction..I'm posting this because this is esactly the kind of technology that could be… -
Re: Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
I think his reaction was perfectly appropriate. These guys had the opportunity to show their work directly to one of the greatest animator/animation director of all time in a private meeting, yet they didn't take the couple days needed to make their presentation better. They could have re-skinned their work to look like… -
Re: Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
Regarding this type of tech ruining animation and automation is bad: Giving artists and designers tools to make art quicker, easier, faster, etc, in the end means better art. Personal passion projects can be done by one person in a reasonable time due to tools being faster, easier, and more automated. That's part of the… -
Re: Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
I'm not sure if it's useful as a final result, there'll probably be a lot of noise in the animation. But it could be great to use as reference for when you need something that looks uncanny (the nurses from Silent Hill for example). And to me an "insult to life itself" is to boil a lobster while it's still alive. -
Re: Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
Yeah, I don't think that Miyazaki himself is against tech at all regardless of what the clickbaity video title is trying to imply. Again the guy is *highly* technical. The recent exhibit showing how his movies are made was mindblowing. His studio already participated in the creation of a video game after all. What he is… -
Re: Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
A lot of people are saying "if he saw a better animation his reaction would have been different". You are missing the point entirely. It's not about the quality of the animation the AI produced, but the fact that something that is completely detached from humanity is trying to reproduce humanity. His final line of "humans… -
Re: Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
Well, if you read the article, he partially seems offended because he feels it's devaluing how hard it is to move the body(but he uses an example of a disabled friend for that, and I am not sure if that is the wisest example...) and the rest is a sense of the technology being autonomous. The article ends on Which is sorta… -
Re: Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
Interesting. Gotta agree with Miyazaki that they made a quite revolting piece - they could have chosen a different dummy. But Miyazaki also shows a very Japanese attitude - Japanese highly value manually done arts and crafts work. But even in many smaller companies the degree of automation is much lower than in the US/EU.… -
Re: Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
I feel like his reaction was partially because of the result. It's interesting, but it doesn't feel "serious" as it were. It's a silly grotesque animation. And while it's amazing technology, to someone like Miyazaki (who I feel sometimes is quite set in his ways, and goes off of his first reaction) this probably feels like…
