And this is why indie animation is blowing up right now. Indie animation directors want the HUMAN EXPERIENCE to be seen in their creations, and hiring humans to make that work by hand is what truly makes animation beautiful and such a unique experience. Animation is a celebration of life, in movement, expression, and style, not something to be automated, because when animation loses its human touch, it’s simply a shell of what it could be.

It's about comprehension of the human on the emotional level. It doesn't feel right to reduce emotions as things that can be coldly "programmed" in the way you explained it. And rather than "how", I think it's important to think about the "why" we want to invoke emotions. Emotions are usually related to putting focus on certain events, and we include them in what we create because we want to tell a story. A story that can be inspired by what shaped us and makes us a person: our emotions, our experiences, interests, motivations, dislikings, desires, etc. An AI doesn't and can't have any of that. At it's core it's just a program that executes a command, so how would it be able to convey emotions in a way that truly resonates with people? We're more than automatisms.

It's called passion tax and animation seems especially susceptible to it. You take advantage of the fact that people love their work and want nothing more but to make the best thing they can, and studios see that and take advantage of it by doubling their work load and cutting their pay. And if you're an artist and you don't like it, what the hell are you going to do? Quit? Everything is centralised in LA, with only a handful of companies and executives managing everything. You make yourself a problem and you'll get blacklisted eternally. Look up what happened to the creator of the constant Payne pilot. It's absolutely vicious.

I can see why on paper an exec would think you replace storyboarding most easily, "hey it's like not even finished art so why does it matter of its good? Plus it's not even part of the final product so I think we can still have copyright... " But it really ignored how much of the most important human decision making happens.

As a beginner artist, this topic really busts my balls. Cause I love digital art and animation and when I look at ai art, I see that its just soulless, there is no interest in analyzing the picture and looking for details, because its just a fucking blend of other people art. And what really pisses me off, it's those guys who create a fucking patreon or a similar thing, and basically earn money from "readjusting art pieces" from REAL ARTISTS. I wasn't angry about whole ai art topic at first, but when I saw people who call themselves "AI ARTIST" I just lost it. It's like ripping in half real painting like Mona Lisa and Scream, glueing them together and calling yourself an artist. P. S Just comparing, to draw a character, you really have to think, analyze, you have to learn fundamentals and anatomy etc. To make an AI drawing of character, you just hitting reset button until it looks somewhat presentable and do minor changes in prompt. That's not a fucking creative process, it's an equivalent of banging your head against the wall until you make a passage.

You really think indie animators won't use AI to compete with bigger companies only to claim that they don't use AI to appeal to "moralists"? Of course they will, most probably do already to some capacity. It's the same with calculators. Nobody does multiplication by hand anymore.

Those executives don't really care about cinematography. They care about earnings call. Bad cinematography and mediocre storyboard are fine when they can save up a few dollars.

Storyboarding is one of my favorite art forms ever, for live action, animation, or whatever else. It's the basis in which everything relies on. To hear that these greedy executives are planning to cut US out of the process for some shitty program enrages me.

AI is not meant for art. It was a mistake to introduce it to the industry in the first place. I am an artist myself, writer, musician and painter, and hearing the fact that AI is being used in all three of those industries is abhorrent. People enjoy making art. AI will never be able to replicate the hard work that goes into our own ideas, our storytelling, our creativity. It is dependent on the human experience. The people who make AI are not artists themselves. They are pseudo-engineers who pretend that this will somehow transcend the beautiful, flawed, marvelous art artists have been creating for decades.

Wow, that’s profoundly awful

Studios wanna replace anyone they can with AI. If they can they will, the question if they will be able to do so without reducing quality

I don’t think that anyone should worry about AI at least until it gets super (like really super) advanced because look for example at motion capture.

Keyframers are responsible for the framework and inbetweeners are responsible for giving it life. I know there's an AI for inbetween frames in the works, but I could never imagine giving such a beautiful responsibility to AI. I also know the treatment of inbetweeners in the industry is terrible, but using AI to lessen their workload isn't the solution. Companies WILL take advantage of that and the inbetweeners, some of whom actually like their job, will be kicked to the curb. I would rather have companies (indie studios included) make less animation if it means no AI than make more animation with more AI. I understand the argument for indie studios using the AI inbetweens but it just doesn't sit right with me. It's like using AI generated "art" except you're giving the AI permission to use your art. Inbetweens are just as important as keyframes and the job should be given to a human that will actually put passion and soul into the drawing. I'm not really looking to argue as a fellow anti-AI but I wanted to say my opinion anyway.

If i recall correctly this kind of thing was used for the 2d line effects drawn over the models in spiderverse. Inbetweening is already automatic in 3d software by default, so it makes sense not to have a whole team of people just redrawing tiny lines each frame. 3d animation can get really complex, so it seems to be there's more beneficial uses for machine learning in 3d rather than 2d, since there's more moving parts to deal with. I think one place where there's a lot of potential for it is retopology. If an AI could automatically retopologize a model sculpted by an artist with topology optimized for animation, it would cut out a lot of work that many artists find to be the most tedious part of the process.

It is not something about AI in overall people just do not value the artists. I had some gigs as concept designer for indie game studios in my country (Turkey) And all of them was jerks to the artists. They either want to add you another seperate function or get rid off you as soon as they can. I am not against AI I am against the mindset of non-artist people. Even though I was always just making things easier for them. Doing all necessary visual art disciplines when needed concepts, marketing materials etc. And because I was preparing for AAA studios for my future plans I was slaying it around most of the indie artists. Not to boast but to illustrate how even when your skills are truly competitive still this the type of behaviour you will get. There will always be a pyramid where they always value "the coders, the accountants, the HR the QA" everbody sees more value than you in the business pyramid. Just because what we do seems "fun" from afar. We put hours of work to build our skillset and people just calculate it as "you have talent or not" And they overlook you since if "they had the talent" they could be an artist too. Which is not even near as truth we don't have natural born superpowers we are digging the shid and learning the skill in a life long journey for mastery of the craft. This is the people hurting and threatening our jobs not necessarily AI or even AI companies. It is the mindset behind.

Ben de onlara, işlerini kolaylaştırabileceğimi söyledim. Hem bu araçları kullanmayı biliyorum, hem de zaten konsept tasarımcısıyım, yani işim çizim sonuçta. Böylece özgün ve tutarlılıktan da ödün vermeyen konseptler elde edebiliriz. AI ile 50-100 tasarımı aynı stil ile çıkarmak için çok spesifik değerler girmek gerekir, aksi halde proje süreci bozulabilir. Yapay zeka karşıtı değilim ama bu yaptıkları kulağı tersten tutmak zannetiklerinin aksine pek de zaman kazandırmıyor yani. Kibarca örnek çalışma yapmayı talep ettim, görüşme ayarlamak istediklerini belirttiler fakat sonrasında hiçbir cevap alamadım. Bu yıl aynı şehirden iki şirket gördüm, birinde bulundum, diğeriyse bahsettiğim stüdyo. Gerçekten de, kodlamacı patronların sanatı önemsemediğini ve her şeyi kodla çözmeye çalıştıklarını gördüm. Tasarımcıların ve modelcilerin ciddiye alınmadığını gördüm. Temel sistemler kod olmadan çalışamaz, ancak diğer meslekler de önemlidir. Oyunlarda animasyoncular, konsept tasarımcıları, modelciler olmadan işler ilerlemez. Yazılımcılar bunu anlamalı. Eğer yazılımcılar diğer disiplinleri anlarsa, işler daha kaliteli olur. Hypercasual oyun ile para kırma sevdası yüzünden ülkede profesyonelce iş yapan insan yok. Ülkemizde bazı stüdyolar hypercasual yapmanın hakkını verirken diğerleri sadece onlara özeniyor ve "kolay" diye girişiyorlar. Sonra asset kullanıyoruz yapay zeka ile zaten çözdük gibi söylemler... O asset mağazasındaki assetleri tasarlayan sanatçılar olmasa o kodlar kendi kendine hiç bir şey ifade etmeyecek onları da sanatçı tasarımcı tayfa üretiyor farkında değiller. Bütün dünyada imalat önce çizmek ile başlar sonra üretim bandına girer giydikleri donu bile endüstri sanatçıları çiziyor haberleri yok. Yani günün sonunda ne yapay zeka ne de hazır assetler, sektördeki işleri ve ekip içi iletişimi kalitesizleştiren tek etken yine böylesi vizyonsuz insanlar.

If I should create KZread videos or create posts on other platforms of my artwork. I haven’t yet because of how overly toxic other artists can be with their “art lore”. I also have this burning desire to share my story concepts to other mutuals (if I ever find any that is), but I am also afraid that I’ll just receive comments like “womp womp”, “fatherless behavior” or any sort of sociopathic comment telling me that my work is cringe and that I am wasting my time. I guess the fact that AI is replacing artists is telling me that I *am* wasting my time.

"Nobody gives a care about the fate of labor as long as they can get their instant gratification" - Squidward

I don't think you understand what's about to happen here. AI will DESTROY a lot of these big studios. Once small creative teams use the support of AI to produce quality feature films with a tiny budget, NO-ONE is going to want to watch the big studios output anymore. Animators need start looking for the new opportunities to get involved in exciting small projects with those aims in mind.

Technology should have its limits like how some of the Disney animators liked the old fashion way of storyboards, it didn’t destroy their life whenever digital storyboards became a thing, they just miss it. But AI storyboarding and animation takes jobs away from people, steels from artists, it doesn’t look good and it’s not art, it was made by an ai using existing material. There is a large difference between an advancement in technology and a technology that is borderline illegal and very unethical to use.

I'm part of several live-action storyboarding groups in LA. We definitely have been talking about AI A LOT, with more than a few of us keeping tabs on the emerging tech and features. Your video is very good, thank you.

I work as a storyboarder myself, and I have never yet worked on the perfect script that you can just translate to pictures without rework etc. Off course big studio executives these days think that, they are not cinema people anymore, they don't care if they run a movie studio or a cake factory. I don't fear for me job in the nearest future, as these AI productions will fail to hit a human audience, I am pretty sure. We might have to suffer that one AI made movie that will actually be good, and every studio executive thinks that they can replicate the formula, and for ten years we will watch them learn the hard lesson.

time to do some lawsuits.

this is great! can't wait!

As a Computer and Art Guy no they gonna fall very hard AI can accelerate the Speed but only that.

I prefer to be an independent artist/illustrator, hollywood is going crazy with A.I replacing artists, storyboard artists with these tools to make the production costs cheap. Indie Animation has grown in popularity thanks to these artists who they are replaced by A.I in the studio that worked on once in hollywood. While indie animation is growing more and more, the animation industry is falling apart by A.I replacement.

We need more indie animations now

Very interesting little doc! Thanks for that.

There's been posts on Twitter that sag-afra signed a contract or something for the use of AI voices and stuff like and I was like HUH?!

ΑI cannot replace animation or artists, the story, animation and artists is what makes the result lively, *good*. An AI cannot replicate the art, story or animation of humans, it just isn't possible, they dont have the capacity or the creativity, they dont make original work, they just copy other work, sure people do that, but AI cannot have original ideas, all their ideas are copied from somewhere else without credit

Honestly, I think that people will seek much more independent media, not only animation, but media in general. These past years, most mainstream media seems bland, and with AI, it's probably going to be even more saturated, so I think indies may thrive more

Tech companies want us all to be so heavily reliant on AI that we can't function without it. Like being stuck on the side of the road and not knowing how to change a tire.

I don't think AI would threaten just art jobs, but every job that exists. It is the most nonsensical invention. It takes away the purpose of the person themselves. It's a double-edged sword and I'm not even sure what to think of it anymore. All I know is people need purpose. Even if we have to fight for it, we must always have purpose.

It's probably a test to see what it can do before moving onto the bigger jobs. Storyboards are a dime a dozen in the pre-production stage. Thank God there isn't a lot of good animated shows out there, I have a feeling this is the industries downfall. Hollywood/ Entertainment Industry needs a reset.

Of all the things to possibly replace with AI, storyboarding seems like the worst thing to replace. At that point, you might as well just feed a script to an AI and have them make all the decision. Hell, why feed them a script? Why not just type a prompt, I'm sure it can come up with a script too.

I can really relate to the story that Brad is telling around 7:00. The industry has been changed because of the technology and I hear a lot of artists complain but personally I love it because now I can craft a complete story and show my vision for what I'd like to make. The only way was "stay in your lane and let us figure out how to make this work" the new way is now I'm a filmmaker and I get to tell stories the way I'd like them to be told. For those wondering- the money followed.

I’m surprised they don’t have like, a huge tv to show the storyboards with a program that has both a slideshow view and a grid view to get the best of both worlds

It's unfortunate that AI in animation is often tied to corporate greed instead of its creative potential. ML approaches, like diffusion models, elevate visual quality, as used in creative ways in Elemental (2023). Some studios prioritize lazy automation over meaningful content, missing the chance for AI to enhance storytelling in animation.

That's the opposite side of the process i'd want to use AI for... Like maybe AI cleanup artist, sure, but making the storyboards from scratch with AI? That's more than pointless, it will end out with as poor product. Like, if youre gonna use AI, generate it based on the storyboards. Its not gonna be great at the moment but I could see it as a possible way to do it in the future. But not for every project... Then you'd have the animation cleanup artists come in and probably mostly just point out to the AI what it messed up on, and use AI to fix it. If nothing else I see that last step happening.

Animation is pretty much bland and generic at this point. Everything looks and feels the same except for a few.

Back in the 19's century a lot of portrait artists were angry that they might lose their jobs due to the invention of the camera. Guess what happened, they lost their jobs and we all use cameras today without even thinking about them. The bottom line is that we now live in a future we never dreamed will be possible, but whether we like it or not we need to get used to it.

The history of storyboarding included in here was amazing.

Using ai to write for movies and shows(even video games) is a terrible idea. Even if we seen this with Disney's Wish or not, it won't be so very good with it's final results in the end because you would have to go back and fix some problems even if there's so much.

Oh lord no. I just saw this and the fact that "Higher ups" want to replace any body, regardless of positions, are failing to recognize that AI currently is only good for the artists and creatives to use as a tool. Specifically to help give ideas and have ideas going. It's not a good tool for finished animation, nor music, nor writing, nor anything that ain't simple. AI is trained, and the training data is most definitely bias due to what is given. An AI Voice will always have a bias towards sounding like Tim Daly's Superman if it's trained on Tim Daly's Superman. And AI Art Gen will always be bias with making Neal Adams Art if it's primarily trained on Neal Adams Art. AI Art Gen is good for cool looking generic posters and landscapes, not something that can give you interesting animation or dynamic posing in a cohesive sequence. AI Tech ain't there yet and most likely wont be for another few years.. If they wanted to incorporate AI Art Gen, they have to have it as a tool for their workers and treat it as a tool. Cool or interesting idea's that might come out of nowhere just to see what it might be like. It can't be official material unless it's primarily trained on their workers art and therefor need to give their artist more pay if publishing stuff like that. If they wanted to incorporate AI Writing Gen, they have to have it as a tool for their workers and treat it as a tool. Throw Idea's around to see what it could be, but ultimately they still need writers to make it work and may as well have it be a glorified spell checker. If they wanted to incorporate AI Video Gen, they need to be laughed at cause the tech is NOWHERE NEAR good enough to even be passable for 1min animation. It goes off making whatever random thing it's working on LIKE the AI Art Gen, but with a bunch of random sequences that makes no sense. I hate the idea of AI being used for this cause it FUNDIMENTALLY misses the point of it. AI is a tool to help finish the product. IT is NOT a finished product. I am perfectly fine with AI, so long as these dumbasses didn't try to do cut corners in the most Ludacris possible way. God Damn it!

The major issue here is that artist seem to think they must work for a company like Disney, Nickelodeon, and so on. Do your own thing, these companies have enough. Instead of just looking at AI as a bad thing, look to see what you yourself can get from it. I grew up as a traditional cartoon artist and had to learn digital art. I could call digital art not real art too, because there are things you can do with it that you can't do with traditional.

Where its the story board at 1:06 from? The one that shows up after the Mickey one?

All I’ve got to say is Fuck Netflix.
