0:00 like I used to be. All that true. I was
0:04 never attention sweet.
0:08 I still remember that girl.
0:12 >> She's imperfect,
0:14 but she tries.
0:16 She is good, but she lies. She is hard
0:23 on herself.
0:25 >> She is broken and won't ask for help.
0:30 She is messy, but she's kind.
0:34 She's lonely.
0:37 Most of the time she's all of this mixed
0:40 up and baked
0:42 beautiful pie.
0:45 She's gone, but she used to be mine.
0:49 [Music]
1:09 Happy Tuesday, good people. What is
1:10 shaking? What's going down? What's
1:12 happening? I'm a little moist. It's a
1:13 little warm here in the uh $20 million
1:16 production studio. Made to look like a
1:18 shitty home office. I think we do a
1:20 pretty good job. I mean, it's a staff of
1:22 17. It was 18 until Jenny got a little
1:25 lippy.
1:26 She had to go. You know how that goes.
1:29 Oh, let me turn on my light here. Look.
1:32 See,
1:33 I had a whole bank of lights. A whole
1:35 bank of uh they're like $20,000 lighting
1:38 packages. I have like 17 of them. I
1:40 didn't have them turned on there.
1:44 Yeah. Producer Brandon's on probation
1:47 after sleeping through the first hour
1:50 yesterday.
1:53 [Music]
2:03 Woohoo!
2:05 [Music]
2:09 Woohoo!
2:10 [Music]
2:39 [Music]
2:44 Heat. Heat.
2:46 [Music]
2:58 [Music]
3:18 I love you.
3:20 [Music]
3:41 Oh, good lordy. Good lordy. Good lordy.
3:44 Good lordy. Good lordy.
3:50 Oh man.
3:53 Sam Alton warns of AI
3:57 voice fraud crisis. Oh, I saw that
4:00 earlier. You know what's so funny about
4:03 um the news anymore
4:06 is that
4:10 when you get the bulk of your news from
4:12 social media channels like there's
4:15 there's a couple of guys that I watch
4:17 for
4:18 um political stuff and
4:23 their accounts have been cloned. And so
4:25 what what what the shitty cloners are
4:28 doing is they take their videos, they
4:30 green screen them out, put them on a
4:32 different background, and then post the
4:34 news as if it's today with like today's
4:36 date on it, but it's news from like two
4:38 months ago. And I feel like every Sam
4:41 Alman clip I see is like I can't tell if
4:44 it's like was this today or was this
4:46 like three months ago. And so I saw that
4:49 banking thing. Basically what what Alman
4:52 was saying in the banking clip that I
4:54 saw today was um he goes there are still
4:57 major banks that are using voice
4:59 verification
5:01 to do large wire transfers.
5:04 He's like that ship has sailed.
5:11 Play Aussie. I don't know an Aussie
5:12 song. You know my very first Yeah. Rip
5:14 Rip Aussie Osborne. Um it was funny when
5:17 when he did that that concert, that
5:19 farewell concert with Black Sabbath. Um
5:22 they interviewed his daughter and and
5:23 she said that was his funeral.
5:26 Um that he really prepared like got back
5:29 in shape to be able to do that and that
5:32 was that was his farewell. That was his
5:34 she said that was his funeral. And then
5:36 you know what is it two weeks later he
5:37 he passed. Um,
5:40 in 1986,
5:46 maybe
5:48 my buddy Scott Bukart and I, we were in
5:50 high school
5:53 or maybe
5:55 might have been right after that, might
5:56 have been 87. I I don't think we
5:59 graduated,
6:02 but we were of driving age and we went
6:04 down to Atlanta, Georgia for ComX.
6:08 And Comdex was like a big computer show.
6:11 It's where you, you know, went to buy
6:13 PCs and peripherals and [ __ ] like that
6:15 or, you know, that's like a big trade
6:17 show. It's like CES.
6:19 Um,
6:21 and we were like, "Hey, let's go see a
6:23 concert." And so we scalped tickets for
6:25 Azie Osborne. My very first rock and
6:28 roll concert was Azie Osborne in like
6:31 1986 in Atlanta, Georgia.
6:35 It was great.
6:37 [Music]
7:18 [Applause]
7:20 [Music]
7:20 [Applause]
7:23 [Music]
7:32 Um, so yeah, rip Aussie Osborne, man.
7:37 That the last bunch of years of his
7:39 life. What a what a misery just from
7:41 injuries and bad back surgeries and
7:43 drugs.
7:45 Drugs and drugs. The drugs didn't help.
7:54 Tik Tok comment from Valerie. Let's see.
7:58 I loved the Osborne reality show. Yeah,
8:00 that was really good.
8:04 Azie used to record in a studio in
8:06 Dallas. Wow. I worked in the building.
8:07 Used to see him all the time. That's
8:08 very cool. In the commissary. Nothing
8:11 like dating yourself. Yeah. Really?
8:13 Right. 1986.
8:15 [Music]
8:50 My first Ozfest was in Denver in 2000.
8:53 Nice.
8:54 Um, we'll flip cameras here. Let's go.
8:57 Black Bar
8:59 for producer Brandon and for the sanity
9:01 of the tick tockers.
9:04 [Music]
9:09 Mr. It Aussie Osborne died today. So we
9:12 were saying rip to Mr. Osborne.
9:17 [Music]
9:20 [Applause]
9:21 [Music]
9:31 [Applause]
9:33 [Music]
9:43 Sitting in this lonely town,
9:47 wondering when things are going to
9:49 change.
9:53 Dream my life away.
9:55 [Applause]
9:56 Seems these dreams have turned to a
9:59 bunch of dust clouds.
10:04 Getting my nerve up,
10:06 but my past is pulling me down.
10:11 Yeah.
10:13 Backed up my blue jeans.
10:16 Did it fall
10:18 back.
10:24 Somebody told me once before, he said,
10:27 "You can never go home again.
10:31 Won't you leave?"
10:34 said things to steer me away. Yeah. From
10:39 the truth of who I am, what I believe.
10:43 So I thanked him for his two cents with
10:46 a handshake
10:48 and some sympathy. Yeah.
10:51 I packed up my blue jeans,
10:55 headed for this big prize
11:00 of my freedom.
11:04 Bye-bye,
11:06 black sheep
11:08 to the black sheep of the family.
11:13 Bye-bye.
11:15 [Applause]
11:17 Oh, it means so very much to me. Yeah.
11:22 Bye-bye
11:23 [Music]
11:26 to my friends and my family.
11:31 Bye-bye.
11:37 Set my soul.
11:41 Set it free.
11:43 [Music]
11:49 Um, what would you like to talk about
11:53 this evening, good people? What would
11:55 you like to talk about? We can talk
11:56 about the uh the artificial
11:58 intelligence. We can talk about robots.
12:02 We can talk about banking fraud.
12:12 [Music]
12:15 We could make things.
12:18 I might, this is a suggestion of
12:20 producer Brandon. I might go to LTX
12:23 Studio and try to produce a minute long
12:26 video.
12:31 Feels like it's bad.
12:33 Irregulars for Steo image archetypal dog
12:36 standup set with V3 sound and tabs. All
12:39 right, let's go look at I got to
12:40 unshare. Oh, you know what? Wait, wait,
12:42 wait. No, hold on. Hang on people. Hang
12:46 on people. Okay, listen. Listen, listen
12:50 people. Listen up. Listen up.
12:54 Next week, starting Monday, I'm doing a
12:57 back to basics crash course on AI. All
13:02 right. It's going to be beautiful. It's
13:05 going to be beautiful, people. It's
13:06 going to be beautiful. Day one, we start
13:09 out with what is this AI thing anyway?
13:13 What is this all about? Do we care? What
13:14 is this?
13:16 Why is it a big deal? Why is it here to
13:19 stay? Why is it like nothing else we've
13:21 ever seen? So, Monday's going to sort of
13:23 level set like why should you care about
13:25 AI? Next day, Chat GPT 101, November
13:30 30th, 2022 marks the beginning of a new
13:33 era. That was the day that Chat GPT
13:34 launched and they're still the
13:36 state-of-the-art leader in the industry.
13:38 Why? I don't know. They figured
13:40 something out.
13:42 And Chat GPT, even the free version, is
13:46 beyond mind-blowing. It's more than you
13:48 know it it is. So, that's day two. Day
13:50 three is creativity day. Pictures and
13:54 videos and songs and music and sound
13:58 effects and voice cloning, all that sort
14:00 of stuff.
14:01 storytelling tools. We're going to play
14:03 with a lot of that stuff. Um Thursday,
14:07 we're going to start to bring it all
14:08 together. We'll do use cases where you
14:09 have to bring different tools together
14:12 and figure out, okay, which tool do I
14:14 use when
14:16 how do I I got all this stuff I want to
14:18 do. Which tool do I use? How do I
14:19 choose? So, we'll figure that out. And
14:22 then Friday,
14:24 if I've done my job right, not only
14:26 should you be excited as hell about AI,
14:30 but you should also have a lot of
14:31 questions. So Friday is kind of a Q&A
14:34 wrap-up kind of day. All right. Now,
14:36 here's one of the unique things about
14:37 the the five days. We're going to start
14:40 out the first 30 minutes starting at
14:41 8:00 PM Mountain time on Tik Tok. So,
14:44 we're going to do a pre-show on Tik Tok
14:47 and then at 8:30 Mountain time, we're
14:50 going live on YouTube. Okay. And if you
14:54 want to know the YouTube channel, look
14:55 what I've done. I got all professional
14:57 here. I put together
15:01 there's the uh there's the URL for
15:03 YouTube, learning lab-ai.
15:06 And if you take a screenshot or take a
15:08 photo of that QR code, that'll take you
15:11 right there. If you haven't subscribed
15:13 to the AI Learning Lab YouTube channel,
15:16 go do that now because when we go live,
15:19 you're not going to want to miss this.
15:21 It's free. So for anyone watching the
15:23 live stream, this is free. Okay.
15:27 All right, people. All right. Is
15:30 everybody excited?
15:32 It's going to be exciting. I think it's
15:35 going to be exciting. I think it's going
15:36 to be really good. Really good, people.
15:40 All right, beautiful. So, let me let me
15:43 stop sharing there for a second here.
15:45 And we're going to go over to the uh
15:49 we're going to go over to the AI salon
15:56 fair.
15:58 Oh, wait. They changed the icon because
15:59 I'm sharing that tab. Hang on. I got to
16:02 find it. Which one is it? Oh, I'm on it.
16:05 Okay.
16:08 So, if you haven't seen the AI AI salon,
16:12 here I am on the AI salon. This is our
16:13 community site. There's a video from
16:16 Khaki Fitz Simmons, the salon king. Very
16:19 nice,
16:21 the champion up on the uh
16:26 That's good. Hey, Steo, try the uh trick
16:29 that Danielle taught us last night. Tell
16:31 it tell Chat GBT to not give it that
16:34 antique finish and it'll get rid of that
16:36 yellow yellow haze. Rest in peace, Azie.
16:40 Mama, I'm coming home. That was a really
16:42 beautiful rendition of that song, by the
16:44 way, that he sang on the uh the farewell
16:47 tour there.
16:51 That's really nice, Danielle. Beautiful.
16:55 All right, what do we got here? That's a
16:56 Tik Tok from Archetypal. Let's watch
16:58 this because I think we can watch this
17:00 here.
17:02 So, what is this?
17:06 I wrote and produced this song. Who's
17:09 this? Khaki. Khaki Fitz
17:13 with a little help to honor a man who
17:15 was like a father to me. Wow.
17:18 He was my dad's dear friend who invited
17:20 me every summer up to his cabin at
17:22 Voyagers National Park.
17:25 I am
17:28 so grateful I could do this and it
17:29 wouldn't be possible ah without Kyle
17:31 Shannon the Irregulars. Heart heartfelt
17:33 thanks. That's beautiful. All right,
17:36 let's watch this.
17:38 He's
17:41 [Music]
17:47 everywhere.
17:49 Bob in the sacred summers at Crane Lake
17:52 by Khaki.
17:56 Two young guys with hearts worn thin.
18:00 Raised five kids and let us in.
18:04 Packed the van and took the drive north
18:07 to where the wild comes alive.
18:11 Crane Lake waiting calm and wide with
18:14 Bob there always as our guide.
18:18 He taught us how to bait the line.
18:22 Drive the boat and read the signs.
18:26 Shot a gun but soft in tone. We never
18:30 once felt we're alone.
18:33 The rocks, the dark, the winds that
18:36 blew. He showed us all what love can do.
18:41 He's everywhere. The ripple, the pine,
18:44 and lightning storms and fish lines.
18:49 Northern lights that paint the sky.
18:52 Quiet troops that never die.
18:56 He rarely raised his voice at all, but
19:00 he could call us all. And even now
19:03 empty.
19:04 [Music]
19:13 One year we fried a fish at
19:16 a yearling bear came wandering on.
19:20 She ran inside. We grabbed the flare.
19:23 Firecrackers bursting near.
19:27 [Music]
19:28 Just another crane late day with to
19:32 chase the field away
19:37 to one night
19:39 in a bunk that dream flight.
19:43 Seven fish in one boat waiting for a
19:47 line.
19:50 I cast off where no one dared pulled up
19:54 a northern
19:55 cheer.
19:57 He echore
20:01 [Music]
20:08 he'd stir again and drift once more.
20:12 We go to bed,
20:16 but he just smiled. This was his plan.
20:21 He's everywhere. The pine sweet, the
20:24 rock path, and the old stairs.
20:28 Every joke in every care, every song
20:33 that there
20:40 could
20:41 even
20:45 feel there.
20:47 Yeah, it's really beautiful. And then
20:49 Khaki just said, "The five kids just
20:51 spent the weekend together after 42
20:53 years." Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
20:58 Um, really nice.
21:01 >> Really nice. I, you know, I just I kind
21:03 of marvel that that
21:06 we live in a time, you know, as much as
21:08 people poo poo, oh, that's not real
21:10 music. No, no, it it is. It is. If if
21:15 Khaki doesn't have the the skills to
21:18 write a song, but she still wants to
21:21 make a tribute and make some music that
21:24 captures
21:25 his spirit and and the spirit of those
21:28 times.
21:30 Now she can do that. We can all do that.
21:32 We can all do the thing we didn't think
21:35 we could do. Right?
21:39 the person that told themselves they
21:40 weren't smart enough to do programming
21:43 can now do programming.
21:46 So that's beautiful. Very nice. Um,
21:50 okay. So, let me go look here.
21:53 Archetypal's got another one up here. I
21:56 think
21:58 he put it up as a YouTube link.
22:16 This is the cat skills golden retriever.
22:21 Humans are superheroes.
22:24 You guys are amazing.
22:27 How do you not know this?
22:29 Name one other animal that can throw.
22:31 Throwing is a freaking superpower. And
22:33 my best friend can spam it all day.
22:36 Launch one, champ.
22:37 >> Unbelievable that you take on the
22:39 survival of pets as a hobby.
22:42 Think about that when you're riddled
22:43 with anxiety.
22:45 Don't you understand how challenging
22:46 life is for every other living thing? We
22:49 love you guys. Don't be so hard on
22:52 yourselves. My human may live through
22:54 six generations of my family, caring for
22:57 them all. How could immortals like that
22:59 be evil? Think about it. How far above
23:03 the food chain do you have to be to keep
23:05 apex predators in your bed while you
23:07 sleep?
23:09 Even your own heroes are just bigger,
23:10 stronger humans. You guys know how
23:13 awesome you are. And you give great
23:15 belly rubs.
23:17 I will admit that I'm not a big fan of
23:19 losing my nuts, though. That seems like
23:21 something I should have been consulted
23:23 about.
23:25 Imagine if some tremendously powerful
23:27 being had some odd hangup about your
23:29 reproductive processes. You know, this
23:33 is in a similar vein like the thing I
23:35 was just saying about what a remarkable
23:37 time we live in. You can just prompt a
23:41 dog comedian into existence. And if
23:44 you're a little clever about the editing
23:45 and putting it together, you can have a
23:47 nice a nice set.
23:51 I'll tell you what, you start a uh you
23:54 start a Tik Tok channel for that dog,
23:58 that'll that'll turn into something.
24:00 Remember how Matt Refe took off? Nobody
24:03 knew who Matt Refe was and then he did a
24:05 little bit of crowd work
24:07 and put it up on TikTok and now he took
24:11 off. Amazing.
24:15 Self-education in almost any subject has
24:17 never been easier. Yeah, Valerie. And
24:19 not even just self-education, like
24:21 self-expression,
24:23 right? You could learn how to, you know,
24:27 rig a 3D dog and do voice things and,
24:32 you know, do that the oldfashioned way,
24:35 but now you can also just prompt it. And
24:37 the trick right now is the trick right
24:40 now is getting fluency in a whole series
24:44 of different things and a whole series
24:46 of different ways to feed your prompt
24:48 your ideas and get interesting stuff out
24:51 of it.
24:56 I was looking at the um at the Pika Pika
25:00 Labs new um social thing, which by the
25:03 way um I couldn't find the official Pika
25:07 app on the app store, so I don't know
25:10 who them who the manufacturer is, who
25:12 the p publisher is, but I found a lot of
25:15 knockoff apps, like four or five of
25:16 them. I couldn't find the official
25:18 Picabs app, so I don't know if I'm
25:20 looking for the wrong thing. So if
25:22 anyone knows or has a link, let me know.
25:28 Pika social video,
25:44 but it says Melis Ink.
25:52 It says Melis, Inc., are you sure that's
25:55 the real Pika app?
26:00 Is Melis the uh
26:04 is Melis the parent company of Pabs?
26:13 Let's go look.
26:15 Pika AI video. I guess it is.
26:19 Um, let's go ask chat GBT, shall we?
26:23 Um, new chat. Go to four. New chat.
26:28 Is Melis Inc. the parent of Pico Labs?
26:41 It appears that they are.
26:45 Multiple sources confirm Pika Labs
26:47 initially found it under the name Melis
26:49 Labs. The name Melis Inc. referred to
26:52 its materials in app listings. All
26:55 right. Well, there you have it. There
26:57 you have it, people.
27:00 Don't you go.
27:06 Kyle, I have an invite code for you if
27:09 you want. Yes, please. Yes, Danielle,
27:12 send that to uh DM that to me.
27:18 [Music]
27:28 I heard a really interesting um wait,
27:31 there's a Tik Tok pin.
27:34 Um famous last quote. Is this safe?
27:39 I guess it is.
27:42 Um
27:44 I um what was I going to talk about?
27:48 Pacabs. Oh, there was a really
27:51 interesting
27:52 post on Twitter today.
27:56 Someone put a post on Twitter and they
27:57 said, you know, there's so many bots.
28:00 Bots are overrunning,
28:02 you know, all the social platforms and
28:05 and we're going to have to have a social
28:06 platform that is for humans only.
28:09 verified humans only. And I've I've
28:11 talked about that before, but the way
28:13 the way the person
28:16 phrased it is like that can that can
28:18 only that can be the only solution. The
28:21 only solution should be that we should
28:22 have human-on-one, you know, services.
28:26 And I was thinking about the PA Labs
28:28 thing where they're going all in on AI
28:30 video, right? It's a It's like a Tik Tok
28:34 or or a a reals kind of app except it's
28:39 all video that's been created with their
28:41 tools
28:43 that some of them will have, you know,
28:46 humans faces on them, but it'll have
28:47 like a monster behind them or it'll
28:49 it'll be some sort of special effect,
28:52 but it's like all AI. And I thought, oh,
28:55 that's kind of interesting. And it's
28:56 like,
28:59 yes, I think there will be a role for
29:01 human-only social networks, but I think
29:03 there's also going to be a role for all
29:06 AI channels that are just incredibly
29:08 creative. It's like we have a fiction
29:12 section of the bookstore,
29:15 right? Not every book has to be based on
29:18 a real person.
29:20 Not every book has to be an
29:21 autobiography or a biography. Some can
29:24 just be [ __ ] stories.
29:28 Well, why not do that with AI, too?
29:31 There will be an AI generated section of
29:33 the bookstore. Maybe. Maybe.
29:36 I I I don't I don't
29:41 I think we're in a very very very small
29:44 window in history where
29:47 people care about whether something was
29:50 AI generated or not. I think when it
29:52 comes to things like, you know,
29:55 political rhetoric and video and
29:58 evidence and things like that, then it's
30:00 really important. But if I'm just making
30:03 a story and I film part of it in a
30:06 digital camera, part of it on film, and
30:08 part of it with AI, like Netflix just
30:11 put out a whole trailer on how they did
30:13 this whole sequence of special effects
30:16 in one of the new movies on their
30:17 platform.
30:19 Danielle sent the code, by the way.
30:20 Thank you, Danielle. appreciate that.
30:22 Beautiful. Yeah, I'll definitely check
30:24 that out. Um,
30:28 like Netflix didn't even have to say
30:30 that they used Runway ML to to do the
30:33 special effects sequence. Um,
30:38 was anybody bitching about the fact that
30:40 that those scenes looked weird? No.
30:44 Because they treated AI just like
30:46 another tool in the chain of craft of
30:49 making that film.
30:52 And they got some people in there that
30:53 could prompt the [ __ ] out of that thing.
30:56 And they probably I'm guessing to put
30:58 something in a in a motion picture.
31:02 I'm guessing that they probably
31:03 generated a hundred videos per shot that
31:07 they used, per little snippet that they
31:10 used. I can't imagine that it would have
31:12 been less than that because it's just
31:14 too janky,
31:17 you know.
31:20 What's the name of it on Netflix? Um,
31:22 let me go find out here.
31:28 Netflix
31:31 AI
31:32 SFX.
31:36 Let me see if there's a Is this the one
31:42 Netflix uses AI in a hit show?
31:47 It's called the the eater.
31:56 Let's see. Netflix AI
32:02 sequence.
32:32 here. Share the uh share my screen
32:34 there, Brandon.
32:36 There's the uh
32:42 there's the film.
32:48 The VFX sequence was completed 10 times
32:50 faster than it could have been with
32:52 traditional tools and workflows. The
32:55 cost wouldn't have been feasible.
32:59 The sequence is the first Genai final
33:01 footage to appear in a Netflix original
33:04 series or film.
33:07 Is this the one?
33:18 I saw something earlier where they were
33:19 showing how they made it.
33:22 Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
33:30 admits to using Netflix admits to using
33:34 like they did something wrong.
33:37 [Laughter]
33:40 Those dirty bastards. Those dirty
33:42 bastards using the artificial
33:44 intelligence.
33:51 If anyone thinks
33:55 that this is going to be the last time
34:06 it ain't.
34:08 See if I can
34:27 That was all AI generated.
34:46 Yeah, I can't find it. Oh, well,
34:51 I you know,
34:54 everyone's gonna have to go first. But
34:56 he I would I I can't imagine that there
34:59 wasn't a you know this is the first
35:02 feature film that used a digital camera.
35:05 This was the first feature film that was
35:06 edited on a laptop. This was the first
35:09 feature film that was filmed on an
35:10 iPhone. Right? Every time there's a new
35:13 technology we get we get, you know, some
35:15 version of that. Um so I don't
35:19 particularly see this as a big deal, but
35:24 to some people it is. I mean, I think
35:25 it's kind of cool. I think it means the
35:27 technology's gotten to the point that
35:28 you can use it.
35:30 Um,
35:35 look at me, mama, multitasking, grading
35:37 exams
35:40 over muscles of the human body while I
35:42 watch this live.
35:48 Oh man,
35:54 too good of them to admit it.
35:57 If love and a AI is wrong, I don't want
35:59 to be right.
36:03 Anyone's having sound interference on
36:05 Tik Tok. It's hard to hear. Huh? I don't
36:10 think I'm sharing my audio. You We
36:12 shouldn't have that.
36:15 It's probably the AC. Yeah. Let me try
36:17 turning off the AC. It just might get
36:19 really hot,
36:22 which I know none of you care about, but
36:24 you know, I might get a little moist.
36:27 Um, all right. So, I guess let's go try
36:31 to make a film in LTX Studio. All right.
36:35 So, there is a contest.
36:40 I can hear YouTube and Tik Tok just
36:42 fine. Beyond the There's a contest from
36:47 LTX Studio
36:49 LTX Studio
36:52 Beyond
36:54 the Prompt.
36:56 And I want to point this out for a
36:58 couple of reasons.
37:02 One is the top prize is is cool. It's
37:06 like five grand in a trip to Germany. Um
37:10 second prize is 3500 bucks. Third prize
37:12 is 2500 bucks. um and you know extra
37:15 credits and [ __ ] like that. Um
37:21 um
37:23 but I think that how they wrote
37:28 how they wrote the description of the
37:30 contest um is really really good. Check
37:33 your inbox. Okay, I will. Thanks.
37:34 Thanks, Danielle.
37:37 Um and I can't I assume I can't look at
37:40 it now, right? I can't I I have to do
37:43 that on my phone, right? That's an iOS
37:44 only thing.
37:47 I think it's iOS only.
37:53 Yeah. So, I can't do it here. Although I
37:55 could probably I could see if it shows
37:57 up on my uh my iPad, but that's all
38:00 right. Okay. So,
38:03 so beyond the prompt first, just good
38:05 name for the contest. our point of view.
38:09 When ideas can be generated instantly,
38:13 what still belongs to you? And this is
38:16 the the all the hate that I got on
38:18 LinkedIn with my recent post about Chain
38:21 of Craft, the Chain of Craft article, um
38:26 about people saying, you know, you can't
38:28 possibly be creative if you use AI.
38:31 They're sort of calling that out here,
38:33 right? They're saying when ideas can be
38:36 instantly generated instantly, what
38:38 still belongs to you? Today's tools can
38:39 automate a lot, but meaning, intention,
38:43 and taste can't be automated.
38:48 Meaning, intention, and taste.
38:54 You could tell Chat GPT to have taste,
38:57 but ultimately it's you
39:00 that says, "Do I think that's any good
39:02 or not?
39:04 meaning, intention, and taste can't be
39:06 automated. That's what your creative
39:08 edge is. I would argue that that's what
39:10 your creative voice is. That's what your
39:12 voice is. It's called self-expression
39:15 because you get to choose
39:18 the thing that you put in the world,
39:20 independent of how it was created.
39:23 Just because it was created quickly
39:26 with a tool that a lot of people don't
39:28 understand
39:29 [Music]
39:31 doesn't mean that you didn't have
39:33 intention behind it and there wasn't
39:36 meaning behind it. the song that Khaki
39:39 made for for the uh the friend of her
39:42 fathers,
39:46 her taste in the style of song and the
39:49 lyrics and how to put it together with
39:52 the photograph from from the lakehouse.
39:57 Meaning, intention, taste,
39:59 those were hers.
40:03 Who gives a [ __ ] what tool she used?
40:07 She could have had a third cousin that
40:09 was good at writing songs that wrote
40:10 that and she would have made a very
40:12 similar video.
40:13 The fact that she used AI, why is that
40:16 anyone's business?
40:19 It's independent
40:21 of the meaning, intention, and taste
40:23 that she brought to it.
40:26 That's your creative edge. It's what
40:28 shapes a story, sets a tone, gives a
40:30 work its voice.
40:32 This campaign is to call is a call to
40:35 stay present, stay sharp, and explore
40:39 how AI can extend your creativity
40:43 without replacing it.
40:47 This is the thing people are missing.
40:51 I kind of I kind of feel like these two
40:53 paragraphs should be should be just
40:55 grabbed and like posted on walls
40:58 everywhere.
41:00 I'm using chat GPT as my research
41:02 assistant. Yeah, your research
41:04 assistant. Your research, your
41:06 intention.
41:09 You want to do research because it's got
41:11 meaning to you.
41:15 You're going to use your critical
41:16 thinking to figure out which of that
41:17 research is good and which of its bunk.
41:22 Maybe you have chat GBT help you put
41:23 together a presentation or a paper or a
41:26 thought,
41:29 but in the end
41:32 it's your creative expression. Now, can
41:36 people use AI to do lazy [ __ ] Sure.
41:41 Remember
41:43 when all the clip art libraries came out
41:45 and every design looked like someone
41:49 hit hit a clip art library with a lawn
41:51 mower?
41:54 You can do lazy work with any
41:55 technology.
41:59 Having a creative voice, having creative
42:00 intention, doing something with meaning,
42:03 having taste,
42:06 that's going to be our job forever
42:08 ongoing.
42:13 So, so I really like this.
42:17 The shortest AI film competition. Create
42:19 a short film using LTX Studio. There's
42:21 no set theme, just a challenge. Bring
42:23 your creative edge to an increasingly AI
42:26 shaped world.
42:30 Anything goes. Bring your edge. Must be
42:33 100% generated in LTX Studio. External
42:36 post-production editing is allowed.
42:40 Films must be no longer than 60 seconds
42:43 up to three teammates, one per film. All
42:45 right. So, we're going to go to chat
42:47 GPT. We're going to go to that's ideog.
42:52 Come on, people. We're going to go new
42:54 chat. I'm going to go to uh GPT 4.5. Um,
42:59 if you don't know about all these
43:00 models,
43:01 GPT 40, 03, 04 mini, 04 mini high, 4.5,
43:06 4.1, 4.5, 4.1 mini. Um, it's not your
43:11 fault.
43:12 They're [ __ ]
43:15 [Laughter]
43:18 From what I understand, I read a piece
43:20 about someone just got hired at at
43:22 OpenAI this week and they said um they
43:26 said the culture there is really
43:28 remarkable. It's like it's like
43:31 deep sense of ownership. Like small
43:33 teams are given a task and they go off
43:34 and just build [ __ ] and launch it.
43:37 So I'd imagine that every one of these
43:39 little models probably has a different
43:42 team behind it. Um, it's it sucks for us
43:44 as end users, but they they'll they'll
43:47 probably consolidate all this in GPT5.
43:50 So, in a month or two, we won't have to
43:52 deal with this. But GPT4.5 is supposed
43:55 to be good at writing. So,
43:57 let's see.
43:59 I'm going to say based on
44:03 everything you know, every
44:08 thing you know about me and my
44:12 storytelling
44:16 style and proclivities.
44:19 [Laughter]
44:23 I just used the word proclivities in a
44:26 sentence.
44:30 Oh, does anyone have agents yet? I do
44:32 not have agents yet. Can I start a
44:33 marketing group at OpenAI? I know.
44:37 Seriously, Source Camp open. Okay. Sam
44:40 Sam Alman, if you're watching the AI
44:42 learning lab, because I'm I I'm guessing
44:44 you are, right? Like you you put the
44:46 diapers on the kid, put it to bed, and
44:49 then you come to the AI learning lab. If
44:51 you're watching,
44:53 hire some [ __ ] liberal arts majors.
44:57 Hire some marketing people. Hire some
44:58 creative people, please.
45:02 It's not just about scientists.
45:05 I promise you.
45:09 Hey Sam, here's a hint.
45:13 It's called a large language model. Not
45:16 computer language,
45:19 words,
45:22 humanities,
45:24 stories.
45:27 Um,
45:28 okay.
45:30 Uh, based on everything you know about
45:32 me and my storytelling style and
45:34 proclivities,
45:38 I want you
45:42 to help me
45:45 come up with
45:48 some story ideas for
45:54 a 60second
46:00 film competition.
46:07 The
46:13 imperative
46:15 of the contest is
46:19 and then I'm going to put colon and I'm
46:21 going to go back to LTX Studio and I'm
46:23 going to go grab
46:26 this really cool
46:32 thing.
46:36 All right.
46:40 I love this description
46:44 and I want
46:47 the the
46:49 concepts you come up with
46:57 to be
46:59 original,
47:02 unique to me.
47:07 Unexpected.
47:09 unexpectedly
47:13 delightful
47:17 or dramatic
47:19 or funny
47:22 or charming.
47:30 I think
47:33 I would like
47:38 the stories to have
47:41 no dialogue
47:45 or
47:47 a simple
47:51 narration track.
47:56 Um,
48:00 let's see.
48:02 Let's just ask. Do you understand the
48:07 assignment?
48:11 And is
48:14 there anything more you want from me?
48:21 All right, let's see what what old 4.5
48:24 does here.
48:28 I will not take offense at the comment.
48:30 It's not just about scientists. I know
48:32 you have a good heart.
48:38 It's not just about the scientists.
48:41 I think clearly at a frontier AI
48:44 company, scientists are the stars of the
48:47 show.
48:49 I'm just saying if you look at a company
48:52 like Apple when Steve Jobs was was in
48:54 charge, the
48:58 the art played as much a role in in that
49:02 brand as the science. Um I would argue
49:05 that since his death that that balance
49:07 has shifted um actually it's shifted not
49:11 even toward the science, it's shifted
49:12 toward the operations and efficiency. I
49:16 absolutely understand the assignment.
49:17 You're looking for an original, sharp,
49:19 compelling 60-cond film concepts that
49:21 speak directly to the theme of AI's
49:23 ability to automate ideas versus the
49:26 irreplaceable role of personal meaning,
49:28 intention, and taste. Your storytelling
49:30 style, as I know it, thrives on
49:32 cleverness, dramatic or comedic twists,
49:36 and unexpected quirky charm. The
49:38 preference for minimal dialogue or
49:40 narration aligns perfectly with your
49:42 taste for visual storytelling and
49:44 impactful simplicity. To ensure I hit
49:47 the mark, just two questions before I
49:49 dive in. Do you have any preferences for
49:52 genre or visual style? I think that's a
49:54 good one. Like whimsical, gritty,
49:58 gritty, surrealism,
50:00 surreal, quirky humor, dramatic irony,
50:03 or are you open to a mix?
50:07 Do you want any AI specific elements
50:10 explicitly shown on screen like a
50:11 chatbot? Okay, so let's see. One,
50:15 I don't really care so long as they
50:21 serve the story
50:24 to
50:26 absolutely
50:29 zero AI elements.
50:33 I want these stories to be
50:38 moving
50:44 and human
50:48 and feel human and feel
50:52 human.
50:55 AI
50:57 is a poopy head.
51:00 Poopy head is a technical term we use in
51:03 prompt engineering.
51:05 [Laughter]
51:10 Got it. Zero overt AI because AI is a
51:13 poopy head and totally human emotionally
51:16 compelling storytelling. I'll craft
51:18 ideas that are visually memorable,
51:19 narratively tight, and resonate on a
51:22 human level
51:25 without relying on literal references to
51:27 AI. Here are seven original, human
51:31 focused, zero dialogue story ideas.
51:37 The perfect lemonade. A small boy
51:39 meticulously arranges his lemon lemonade
51:42 stand. Now, first dance, last dance. In
51:46 a community center, an elderly woman
51:48 nervously dance. Dances are dances are
51:51 hard. AI's bad at dances.
51:57 A young woman. Oh, I told it to be
51:58 human. Uh, I'm going to stop this. Um,
52:05 being human doesn't mean
52:10 it needs to have people.
52:16 I mean more
52:18 like
52:20 through the eyes of a human.
52:26 I could see
52:28 one of the
52:33 stories
52:35 be like that plastic
52:39 bag dancing in American
52:44 beauty.
52:49 I want moving
52:53 storytelling
53:01 and don't want to be limited to seeing
53:07 people.
53:08 Let's have a mix.
53:13 In fact,
53:18 give me
53:20 five,
53:30 20
53:34 story ideas.
53:38 with their
53:40 visual
53:44 identities.
53:46 Try that.
53:54 The puddles journey rich rich macro
53:57 cinematography.
54:00 Follow a puddle forming during a rain
54:02 during rain.
54:05 Trembling as droplets ripple its
54:06 surface, capturing reflections of
54:08 building skies passes by, gradually
54:11 shrinking under the sunlight. Its
54:13 reflections grow more vibrant and
54:15 precious until it disappears entirely.
54:19 Wow. Oh, the meaning imper impermanence
54:22 is beautiful.
54:24 That's quite gorgeous, isn't it?
54:29 Turn on dictation, bro. Nah,
54:32 that would be too easy.
54:36 [Laughter]
54:37 You haven't been here before, have you?
54:39 I normally do turn on dictation, but I
54:41 didn't I didn't think these prompts were
54:42 going to be as long as they were. Um,
54:45 but I realized I had more that I wanted
54:46 to say. So, uh, so I'll do it next time.
54:49 I'll do it if I if I prompt again. Um,
54:52 the shadows dance. A shadow cast by a
54:55 leaf dances gracefully across a city
54:57 wall. That's this is very much like the
55:00 American Beauty thing. gently shifting
55:02 its shape in intensity through sunrise
55:05 to sunset. When night falls, the shadow
55:08 vanishes and the empty wall remains
55:13 quietly awaiting dawn. No,
55:16 they missed the story here. The shadow
55:19 should disappear and then we should see
55:21 the leaf and the leaf should fall down
55:23 and just sit on the ground. But
55:25 whatever. Flight of the paper cranes.
55:27 No. Wilted serenade flowers arranged.
55:30 No. A kite's longing. Portraits of a
55:32 raindrop. Okay, now now none of these
55:36 have people in them. Okay, stop. Um,
55:41 now give me a balance.
55:45 Some non-people,
55:47 some people,
55:52 maybe some animals.
55:57 Stop being so limited.
56:01 Start being creative. All right, we're
56:05 going to give 4.5 one more shot. I'm not
56:07 I'm not super happy with this. I'm going
56:09 to flip back to 40, which I think is
56:12 just a better model.
56:17 It's also This is slower than [ __ ]
56:22 I think this was a really big model.
56:28 The Pebbles Odyssey. a small pebble. You
56:30 know what? Let's um I'm going to go do
56:32 something here. I'm going to go grab
56:33 that first one was pretty good.
56:36 The puddles journey.
56:41 Okay, I'm going to go to LTX Studio
56:47 and let's see. Join the competition. I
56:50 think I signed up for it yesterday.
56:52 Register here. I think I already did.
56:57 Sign in with Google.
57:08 Turn on dictation, dude.
57:10 All right. Sorry.
57:13 I'm sorry. I got an annoying channel.
57:15 Why are you still watching it?
57:23 You enjoy 4.0 mini. 4.0. You mean 04
57:26 mini or 4.1?
57:32 04 mini.
57:38 Quick coding analysis. Great coding.
57:40 Fastest for advanced reasoning.
57:44 Yeah, let me let me just try I'm going
57:46 to go to let me stop this one.
57:49 I'm going to go um try again
57:53 with 4.0. This should be faster for one
57:56 thing. Hell yes. Let's go again.
58:00 The moth in the mirror. All right, let's
58:02 let that thing work
58:04 and then Okay, go to the LTX Studio
58:07 homepage. Log in.
58:16 Timeline editing is here. Great.
58:19 Generate motion.
58:24 How
58:27 new story board
58:31 generate motion.
58:38 Here we go. Okay. Paste.
58:46 Develop concept with AI.
58:52 Okay. Here we go.
58:58 Uh uh uh. Are you allowed more than one
59:01 submission? I assume so.
59:03 You got a tool that can make one minute
59:06 videos quickly and easily.
59:10 The puddle's journey custom impermanence
59:13 nature's beauty urban life reflection.
59:15 Oh, this is cool. It actually generates
59:17 keywords at the concept level.
59:22 alternative story lines. Okay. As the
59:25 rain begins to fall, droplets collide
59:28 with the pavement, forming a small
59:30 puddle that captures the essence of a
59:33 bustling city. Macro cinematography
59:36 highlights the trembling surface of the
59:38 puddle,
59:39 reflecting the intricate archite
59:42 architecture of nearby buildings.
59:45 The expansive sky and hurried footsteps
59:49 of passers by. Each ripple tells a
59:51 story. As the rain subsides,
59:56 the puddle becomes a canvas of
59:58 shimmering. You know what it it's
1:00:00 missing?
1:00:03 Um,
1:00:18 I'm going to put um,
1:00:22 suddenly
1:00:24 a
1:00:28 sneaker from
1:00:32 A person
1:00:37 running to their car
1:00:45 completely
1:00:49 obliterates
1:00:52 the puddle.
1:00:56 only
1:00:58 for it
1:01:00 to quickly
1:01:06 reform.
1:01:08 The sun emerges. We'll do that as a new
1:01:10 paragraph. Okay.
1:01:13 Um, so like that little thing that I
1:01:16 just added completely.
1:01:18 So when I wrote the piece on
1:01:21 chain of craft
1:01:25 like let me give you some components of
1:01:26 the chain of craft here. One was to come
1:01:30 to LTX studio and look at the rules of
1:01:32 the of the contest again. One was I
1:01:35 could have just come into LTX studio and
1:01:37 started making this but I wanted to go
1:01:38 to chat GPT and play with different
1:01:41 models and see if I could get it to
1:01:42 inspire ideas. It gave us a bunch of
1:01:45 shitty ideas. There was one in there
1:01:46 that resonated with me, which is this
1:01:48 one.
1:01:50 Then in reading it, I'm like, we're
1:01:52 missing a dramatic moment where a big if
1:01:54 if if we're just looking at a puddle and
1:01:56 we're seeing the beauty of the puddle,
1:01:58 wouldn't it be interesting if a big foot
1:02:00 goes
1:02:01 the puddle flies everywhere and then,
1:02:03 you know, comes back.
1:02:09 That's part of the chain of craft,
1:02:10 right? That's part of my intention, my
1:02:12 taste.
1:02:15 Chat GBT didn't come up with that.
1:02:18 If that's a moment that makes someone
1:02:20 smile or surprises them.
1:02:24 I did that.
1:02:27 Did I execute the 3D graphics and the
1:02:30 motion and the cinematography and the
1:02:33 and the music backing track? Nope.
1:02:39 But that was my contribution in the
1:02:41 chain of craft in in the dozen or 20 or
1:02:45 50 or a thousand steps that it's going
1:02:47 to take us to generate this thing.
1:02:50 Right?
1:02:54 And my point of that article was don't
1:02:57 dis dismiss or discount
1:03:01 your contribution
1:03:03 when you're working with AI. When
1:03:05 someone says, "Oh, what? Oh, you did
1:03:06 that in LTX." Oh, yeah. That's the one
1:03:08 where you just push the button and it
1:03:09 makes a movie. That's that one. Yeah.
1:03:17 Conversation's over, right? They've
1:03:19 completely dismissed
1:03:22 your contribution and you let them do
1:03:23 it. Don't do that [ __ ] What'd you make
1:03:27 that in? Well, first I decided I wanted
1:03:30 to make something that was dramatic and
1:03:32 I didn't want to have people in it. Oh,
1:03:35 right. What's your idea? All right.
1:03:40 The sun emerges, casting warm rays that
1:03:42 intensify the colors with the puddle,
1:03:44 enhancing the beauty of fleeting
1:03:45 reflections. People walking by,
1:03:47 oblivious to the masterpiece at their
1:03:49 feet, while the putty puddle slowly
1:03:51 begins to shrink, its life force
1:03:53 dwindling. In its final moments, the
1:03:56 puddle captures a breathtaking sunset, a
1:03:58 kaleidoscope of colors. Okay, that's
1:04:00 good. That's fine. Let's do this one.
1:04:07 There's no cast here.
1:04:14 Video style view all
1:04:25 boost
1:04:27 lowkey vintage.
1:04:30 Vintage could be interesting.
1:04:37 next.
1:04:41 All right, it's breaking down our scene
1:04:43 for us. If you haven't used LTX Studio
1:04:46 before, it's really quite fascinating.
1:04:48 It's it's a it's a um a whole series of
1:04:52 different tools that they wrap together.
1:04:55 So, the scene breakdown, a small puddle
1:04:56 forms during a rainstorm,
1:04:59 disappears, leaving only dry pavement.
1:05:01 Scene one, formation of the puddle.
1:05:05 Scene two, the puddle's reflections.
1:05:12 The sneaker suddenly crashes into the
1:05:14 puddle, obliterating it, only for it to
1:05:16 quickly reform, showcasing its
1:05:18 resilience.
1:05:21 Urban street with pavement surrounded by
1:05:23 buildings. August 5:00 p.m. Bright
1:05:25 natural light, clear skies.
1:05:28 Scene four, the final moments of the
1:05:30 puddle. So, it's a four scene film.
1:05:38 How much is LTX Studio? I don't know.
1:05:44 But I can probably if I click upgrade
1:05:46 here, am I going to lose it? Hang on a
1:05:47 sec. Let me go. LTX Studio
1:05:52 costs
1:05:55 pricing.
1:05:59 Uh, if we go monthly, I don't recommend
1:06:01 you buy any annual subscriptions to
1:06:03 anything right now. Period. 15 bucks a
1:06:07 month. So, they have a free tier. So,
1:06:10 you get 800 computing seconds one time.
1:06:14 So, basically, they let you probably
1:06:16 make one film is my guess. 15 bucks a
1:06:20 month, you get 8,600 computing seconds
1:06:23 per month.
1:06:26 And computing seconds are not how many
1:06:29 seconds of film are produced. If you
1:06:31 produce five seconds, but it takes you
1:06:34 two minutes to render all that, that two
1:06:37 minutes is going to count against your
1:06:38 thing.
1:06:40 35 or 125 a month.
1:06:46 Okay.
1:06:50 Rain droplets fall into the pavement
1:06:52 creating the smell. Small splashes is
1:06:55 the impact of wet surface.
1:06:58 A trembling puddle. The surface of the
1:07:00 puddle reflects.
1:07:02 Oh, wait.
1:07:17 Yeah. Like what they did is boring.
1:07:36 This going to be way longer than a
1:07:38 minute, too.
1:07:45 Um
1:07:49 [Music]
1:07:54 [Laughter]
1:08:03 timeline editor
1:08:07 play.
1:08:15 Oh, you probably can't hear that, can
1:08:16 you? Hang on.
1:08:26 I like the music.
1:08:28 [Music]
1:08:46 Huh?
1:08:56 Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.
1:09:02 All right, we're going to kill some of
1:09:03 these. Delete.
1:09:10 Delete.
1:09:12 Why can I not delete you?
1:09:15 What's going on? Oh, I see. It takes
1:09:19 time. Apparently, it takes time.
1:09:24 Delete. Let's get rid of these feet
1:09:26 here. There. We're going to see feet
1:09:27 later. Delete.
1:09:33 Down, down, down, down, down, down.
1:09:37 Okay, this is going to be wide shot
1:09:39 angle.
1:09:41 We're going to be
1:09:43 bird's eyee view.
1:09:48 We want to look down on the puddle.
1:09:50 That's not a bird's eye view.
1:09:54 Overhead.
1:10:05 Huh?
1:10:13 Shot type.
1:10:17 Well, no. Let's do extremely wide.
1:10:25 I want overhead.
1:10:38 Huh? Guess we're not going to get it.
1:10:41 Fascinating. It's just fascinating, Bob.
1:10:44 You know, Bob, I'll tell you what, it's
1:10:46 it's kind of fascinating which one they
1:10:49 choose to use, which one they choose not
1:10:51 to use. You know what I mean? You know
1:10:53 what I'm saying? This is actually a
1:10:55 different puddle. Let's get rid of that
1:10:56 one. It's not the same puddle.
1:10:59 Shing ding ding ding ding ding ding
1:11:02 ding. This is not the same puddle
1:11:04 either.
1:11:05 Let's go delete. Delete. All right. So,
1:11:10 that should be good. Now, let's go. How
1:11:13 do I generate scene?
1:11:15 All right.
1:11:19 Most of these generators I've used are
1:11:21 money grabs. I wish someone could
1:11:23 recommend a killer AI.
1:11:26 Um, I'll tell you what, Tik Tok, the um,
1:11:32 the one right now that I'm most enamored
1:11:34 with is MidJourney Video. Now, it
1:11:37 doesn't have sound effects. If if you
1:11:39 want if you want full-on sound effects
1:11:42 like talking animals and people, V3 from
1:11:46 Google is the one. It's 149 bucks a
1:11:49 month um for three months and then it
1:11:51 goes up to 250.
1:11:54 That'll probably come down in price. Um
1:11:57 if you just want really beautiful video
1:11:59 then um then uh what you call it um
1:12:04 midjourney's really good. It's really
1:12:07 really good. Um but you have to like you
1:12:10 still here's the thing with all these
1:12:12 video tools right now. You still have to
1:12:14 know storytelling and film craft to to
1:12:16 be able to put them together. It's not
1:12:18 going to be like that for long. Like
1:12:20 we're going to have probably one of the
1:12:22 things LTX Studios doing here is they're
1:12:25 trying to give existing filmmakers a
1:12:29 familiar metaphor
1:12:31 for control,
1:12:33 right? Filmmakers want to storyboard
1:12:36 every shot. They want to describe
1:12:37 everything. They want to do every camera
1:12:39 angle. Like the fact that I couldn't do
1:12:40 an overhead shot of that puddle pissed
1:12:43 me off, right? So, even though they're
1:12:45 trying to give you all this control, you
1:12:46 really don't have the control.
1:12:50 We're going to get to the point where
1:12:52 you're going to be able to describe a
1:12:53 scene and put in just descriptions of
1:12:55 stuff and it will automatically do,
1:12:58 you know, camera tracking and cameras
1:13:01 and special effects and lighting effects
1:13:03 and all that sort of [ __ ] Um, we're
1:13:05 just not there yet. Um, one thing I know
1:13:08 that you can do in LTX Studio is you can
1:13:10 go over, we could go over and take all
1:13:12 of these shots
1:13:14 into midjourney and film them in
1:13:17 midjourney. That actually might be a way
1:13:18 to do it. Although it did say you had to
1:13:20 make it in here, but I if it's produced
1:13:22 in here. So, wait a minute. If I can
1:13:26 generate motion, can I upload an autosfx
1:13:33 create composition?
1:13:38 Wide shot
1:13:41 tools.
1:13:43 Duplicate. Send a timeline. Lock frame.
1:13:48 Move to
1:13:51 tools.
1:13:53 Generative fill. Remove objects. Face
1:13:55 expression. Camera angle.
1:14:01 But wait, if I just do if I just do new
1:14:04 scene
1:14:06 or new shot.
1:14:14 I thought there was a way I could import
1:14:17 an image in here.
1:14:20 I know there used to be.
1:14:28 Anybody
1:14:30 can you just include that in your
1:14:32 script?
1:14:34 Include what? Camera shots and angles
1:14:36 and things like that. Uh, you can you
1:14:38 can put in a full script in here. I I
1:14:40 chose to have it do the AI one. What I
1:14:43 probably should have done was had chat
1:14:44 GPT make the scenes and then put that
1:14:47 in. Maybe that's a way to do it. Let's
1:14:49 try that. Um,
1:14:54 oh wait, I'm not sharing my screen
1:14:56 anymore. We're going to try a completely
1:14:58 different approach.
1:15:00 Share screen. Share screen. Sharing the
1:15:04 screen. Sharing. Sharing. Sharing.
1:15:06 Sharing.
1:15:08 All right. Is that it? Okay.
1:15:10 I want you to
1:15:15 create
1:15:19 a script
1:15:22 for a film. that film
1:15:29 that is no more than
1:15:32 60 seconds.
1:15:36 Let's say
1:15:39 um
1:15:41 15 to 20 shots
1:15:46 about 3 seconds each.
1:15:53 And I want each shot
1:16:01 written as an image prompt
1:16:06 with description
1:16:09 of the
1:16:11 movement and camera
1:16:16 uh activity.
1:16:20 Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh Uh,
1:16:26 let's just try that. Let's see what it
1:16:28 does.
1:16:32 The shoelace small. Wait, what?
1:16:36 Oh, I didn't give it the script. Stop.
1:16:41 I didn't
1:16:43 give you the concept.
1:16:46 Here it is.
1:16:52 Beautiful title. Surface tension. I love
1:16:55 that theme. Impermanence is beautiful.
1:16:59 Shot list.
1:17:01 One. Extreme closeup of raindrops
1:17:03 hitting a coarse asphalt. Two. Raindrops
1:17:06 cluster merging. This is better. Three.
1:17:10 Ripples boom outward.
1:17:12 Tight macro.
1:17:15 Um, child's boot splashes in the puddle.
1:17:20 Leaf floats lazily. Clouds part above.
1:17:25 All right. So, let's try this.
1:17:35 Oh,
1:17:40 give me a new script
1:17:43 where
1:17:45 you have I'm going to move over to chat
1:17:48 GPT03 mini or 03. Give me a new script
1:17:52 where you include
1:17:59 timing of each shot.
1:18:05 The shots
1:18:10 should not add up to more than
1:18:16 60 seconds.
1:18:24 Thinking
1:18:29 04 mini is great but longer
1:18:32 but super intuitive. Oh, that's good.
1:18:35 Um, now modify the script in chat prior
1:18:38 to LTX. Yeah, that's what I'm going to
1:18:40 do. Oh. Oh, look. Oh, it's doing it did
1:18:43 it did some Python analysis on the
1:18:46 shots.
1:18:49 56 seconds, 18 shots. That's really
1:18:51 cool. 3 seconds. Extreme macro. Three.
1:18:56 Uh, let's see. All right, let's go with
1:19:00 this. This is nice and tight.
1:19:04 Shot by shot breakdown
1:19:09 thought for 60-second short film script
1:19:11 surface tension.
1:19:14 Okay, I like this. It's a great name, by
1:19:18 the way.
1:19:21 All right, let's go back to LTX Studio.
1:19:24 Go back to the beginning.
1:19:27 We're going to say generate storyboard.
1:19:28 I'm going to say stick to the script.
1:19:31 Now we're going to pop in our script.
1:19:36 Shop shotby-shot breakdown.
1:19:39 Next. And by the way, that little script
1:19:42 I just did is 2700 words or characters
1:19:46 out of 12,000.
1:19:48 So you could roughly do four times as
1:19:51 big a script as this.
1:20:01 It captured the name correctly. Surface
1:20:03 tension. That's cool.
1:20:10 Now it's giving us a breakdown. We can
1:20:12 choose the style afterwards.
1:20:25 Scene one.
1:20:31 Huh?
1:20:36 It it made this one giant paragraph. The
1:20:38 scene begins with a extreme macro shot
1:20:41 of raindrops splattering, each impacting
1:20:44 like tiny sunburst. The camera's locked
1:20:46 with shallow focus. Next. All right. So,
1:20:50 I guess it's going to interpret all this
1:20:51 as a bunch of shots in a single scene,
1:20:54 which is that's effectively what it is,
1:20:56 right?
1:21:13 Connection is back. You're up to date.
1:21:17 Raindrops splatter on coarse asphalt.
1:21:20 Drops coalesce into a thin mirror of
1:21:22 water.
1:21:25 You were at different times of the day.
1:21:43 Um, let's go back to chat GPT and say,
1:21:48 um,
1:21:50 I need you to describe
1:21:55 each, let's see, to describe the
1:21:58 location
1:22:00 and background
1:22:04 background
1:22:06 of each shot.
1:22:10 so that the image generator
1:22:16 retains
1:22:18 continuity
1:22:22 across the shots.
1:22:26 You can change angles or backgrounds,
1:22:31 but the puddle
1:22:37 needs to be seen
1:22:42 by the audience
1:22:46 as the same puddle,
1:22:53 not different ones. I know I should be
1:22:56 dictating. I understand.
1:23:03 Okay. Um,
1:23:06 you can change angles andles. You can
1:23:09 change angles
1:23:12 and background. Okay. Let's see. Um,
1:23:16 make sure each shot
1:23:23 is stand alone.
1:23:29 Uh,
1:23:33 but that all of them establish
1:23:38 a single
1:23:40 location. All right.
1:23:49 [Music]
1:23:57 Okay, fantastic. Shingle shedding
1:24:00 narrow. Let's see.
1:24:03 Asphalt
1:24:05 yellow parking line.
1:24:11 It didn't understand it. Let's see.
1:24:20 Well, maybe this will do it. It's It's
1:24:22 got a single setting.
1:24:24 So, let's grab all this.
1:24:37 Go back to LTX Studio. Go back to the
1:24:40 beginning.
1:24:42 Go generate storyboard. Go lock the
1:24:44 script in. Go do this.
1:24:48 Go next.
1:24:54 [Music]
1:25:00 They're making a child.
1:25:03 Let's see. Low key.
1:25:06 Low key. Let's do boost. Or do we want
1:25:09 film noir? We could do black and white.
1:25:13 Black and white could be dramatic. No, I
1:25:15 think we'll do boost.
1:25:18 We'll do boost. We'll do it. And you can
1:25:22 also drag and drop in a style reference.
1:25:24 That's kind of cool.
1:25:28 Yeah, that's fine. Whatever. Kid in a
1:25:30 yellow yellow rain jacket.
1:25:35 [Music]
1:26:00 Let's see. Let's see. Let's see what we
1:26:03 get here. people. This is this is one of
1:26:05 my challenges with LTX is it doesn't it
1:26:08 doesn't seem to do all that well
1:26:10 retaining continuity across shots
1:26:15 and it frustrates me and so I tend not
1:26:18 to
1:26:20 I just want [ __ ] to work.
1:26:23 Um
1:26:25 and this is this is one of those things
1:26:27 that lives in the space in between you
1:26:29 having control and you not having
1:26:31 control. Yeah. Like this is not the same
1:26:34 puddle,
1:26:36 right? Look, we're here's a lamp post in
1:26:39 a double yellow line. Here's a different
1:26:41 time of day at a different location.
1:26:43 Here's a gutter next to a double yellow
1:26:46 line. That's a different double yellow
1:26:48 line. Try composition. You can doodle
1:26:52 your way.
1:26:54 Oh, create composition. Yeah. No.
1:27:04 Well, you know, let's preview it because
1:27:11 stitching your vision together. This
1:27:13 could take up to 60 seconds.
1:27:19 Oh, try it. It's a good demo. All right.
1:27:21 Um, let let me see what it looks like.
1:27:26 We could also go with
1:27:29 we could we could we could embrace the
1:27:32 jank here and say, "Listen, if this
1:27:33 thing's never going to give us [ __ ] a
1:27:36 consistent shot, a consistent scene,
1:27:39 this could just be every puddle is the
1:27:42 same. Every puddle is is a world in and
1:27:45 of itself, and we're looking at all the
1:27:46 puddles.
1:28:19 Yeah, I hate that. I hate the music. All
1:28:21 right, let's go back.
1:28:24 Let's see. Where's my library? Is this
1:28:28 recent? Is that the one I just had?
1:28:31 Let's see. This one previewed.
1:28:45 This is literally why it's free. Listen,
1:28:47 here's the thing. Tik Tok. Every every
1:28:50 one of these AI tools right now is
1:28:52 jankier than [ __ ] and will be for some
1:28:55 time. It doesn't mean you shouldn't
1:28:57 learn them. It doesn't mean you
1:28:58 shouldn't play. Um but it also doesn't
1:29:00 mean it's not going to be frustrating as
1:29:02 [ __ ]
1:29:53 All right. I kind of like this. Let's
1:29:55 see. Um,
1:30:00 so we need sound effects.
1:30:03 Auto sound effects on
1:30:06 on.
1:30:09 We got to cut We got to cut a bunch of
1:30:10 these things, too, because that was a
1:30:13 minute 30.
1:30:15 And I think we can set the length of
1:30:16 these scenes.
1:30:41 All right. Um
1:30:52 timeline
1:31:22 motion editor.
1:31:25 Let's you know what we'll do? We'll just
1:31:27 kill We'll just kill scenes we don't
1:31:29 like here. Like that one looks boring.
1:31:35 That one looks boring.
1:31:41 That just looks too different.
1:31:46 That's the kids thing. That's that.
1:31:47 That's that. Delete that.
1:31:51 That's too soon.
1:32:04 All
1:32:19 right, let's preview that.
1:32:26 [Music]
1:32:40 105.
1:32:55 All right. So, we got to kill one. So,
1:32:58 let's do Oh, let's kill let's kill this
1:33:00 one because we don't want to see people
1:33:03 in it. And then let's try this create
1:33:05 composition thing. So,
1:33:09 compose the perfect frame. Got it. Start
1:33:12 scribbling. So, we're going to have
1:33:14 puddle down here.
1:33:18 And then we're going to have
1:33:22 right.
1:33:39 Is there an eraser? Yes.
1:33:52 Apply
1:33:54 enhance
1:33:58 scribble strength.
1:34:05 Make the foot huge. Yeah, I should
1:34:08 probably make the foot huge, shouldn't
1:34:10 I? Whatever. All right. Apply.
1:34:17 Yeah, it's not it edit composition.
1:34:20 Okay.
1:34:31 Okay.
1:35:05 There we go.
1:35:23 A child's yellow boot.
1:35:32 makes a big splash
1:35:37 in a large
1:35:40 puddle of clear water. I don't want the
1:35:44 [ __ ] muddy water.
1:35:51 [Music]

1:35:57 Regenerate.
1:35:58 I'm telling you what to do here, Buck.
1:36:01 And you're not getting it right.
1:36:04 I'm not liking it. I ain't liking it.
1:36:09 Oh, that's good enough. [ __ ] it.
1:36:11 Enhance.
1:36:16 apply.
1:36:22 Um, shot type angle.
1:36:32 Oh, you can't do shot types when you put
1:36:33 in a composition. Interesting.
1:36:39 So, I think this is now under a minute,
1:36:41 right?
1:36:43 It's probably 101.
1:36:53 [Music]
1:36:58 One minute exactly. Let's [ __ ] it. Let's

1:38:38 [ __ ] for you.
1:38:40 Upload.
1:38:45 Shut up. I haven't used this in a while.
1:38:48 Frame animation.
1:38:51 Generate video.
1:38:56 I have to do this for every [ __ ] one.
1:38:58 Really?
1:39:00 It's V3. So, there's that.
1:39:04 The shape of water too. Electric
1:39:06 bugaloo.
1:39:08 Ask chat GPT.
1:39:11 You can screenshot it and ask chat GPT.
1:39:14 Oh my god. Seriously,
1:39:17 what what happened? Are we done? What?
1:39:50 Oh,
1:40:09 It doesn't look like rain.
1:40:13 >> All right, I quit.
1:40:15 >> I quit. I give up.
1:40:17 I will admit defeat.
1:40:24 Sorry, you're using a Chromebook. Your
1:40:26 five G gigs of RAM are cooked. Oh my
1:40:29 god, that was torture. Okay. Well, there
1:40:32 you have it.
1:40:40 All right. Uh, I'm not good at LTX
1:40:43 Studio. There you go. You too can be a
1:40:45 filmmaker. Um,
1:40:49 so go to LTX and you figure out how to
1:40:52 do it and then come back and show me.
1:40:58 Oh, good lord. Good lord. Good lord.
1:41:01 Good lord. All right. Um, I'm gonna get
1:41:04 out of here. What did I earn? Tick tock.
1:41:09 Tik Tok comments.
1:41:17 Wow, you're the man. Yeah, thanks Tik
1:41:19 Tok.
1:41:26 Um, but listen, this is the whole point.
1:41:29 The whole point of this channel is find
1:41:32 stuff like that, play with it, figure
1:41:34 out where the edges are. Some people
1:41:37 love being able to geek out in all the
1:41:39 little details in every one of those
1:41:41 cells. I just want my [ __ ] to work,
1:41:42 right? So, it doesn't LTX doesn't really
1:41:45 match with my personality, but it
1:41:48 doesn't mean there's not something
1:41:49 there. There's something there. Um,
1:41:53 but with all these things, you got to
1:41:54 learn it. And with video, it's weird
1:41:56 because video is expensive. It's hard to
1:41:58 learn because, you know, um what I would
1:42:01 recommend if you want to get into film
1:42:03 is um is get into the creative partner
1:42:06 programs. Go play with Pika after the
1:42:10 show, Kyle. I will definitely do that. I
1:42:12 I promise. Um Champy wants some cheese.
1:42:14 He does. He's He's a little whiny. He is
1:42:17 a little whiny. I respect you. Oh, thank
1:42:20 you very much. I I appreciate that, Tik
1:42:22 Tok. Um
1:42:24 let's see. So, tomorrow,
