This is the first AI video that is transferred to the film

A video artist has created the first known film that started life as a AI video but was completed in analog film.

László Gaál tells Petapixel The fact that this technology – digital film material and can be transferred to the film – was used earlier by commercials and short films, but as far as it knows, never with AI film material.

“I also saw that it was used for still images, which is much easier and inexpensive,” says Gaál. “Unfortunately it is used less and less, but if I remember correctly, Sebastião Salgado used it for them genesis Series in which he switched to a digital camera wanted to keep the analog workflow after taking the photos. ”

The Hungarian artist says that the process removes the “plastic feeling itself the sharpest digital camera”, and he wanted to see whether it would also work for ai-generated film material.

“I like to think about the unsuitable, the unusually invite to invite the not repeatable, digital post -production,” he explains.

“I think that was the main reason why film photography gave the artists a thrill, and I would assume that the young generation is Renaissance because they want to feel something again in a photo.”

However, Gaál had another, more technical reason to carry out the project.

“AI-generated videos issue files that differentiate much differently in comparison to shot material, somewhat depth and compression,” he says.

“So I wanted to see what would happen if these files were transferred to Celluloid, which is an organic material and would be scanned again in a much higher resolution. In this example, the original footage was 1280 × 720 pixels during the scan 5k.”

The resulting film, Randard access memoriesis not just an allusion to a daft punk album of the same name, but a piece about generative AI and human consciousness.

“This short film started more like an experimental test of the GEN 3 engine of the runway,” he says.

“At the beginning we hear the narrator speaking and thinking immediately that it is human thinking about his past moments in life, perhaps on his deathbed. But since we see more and more examples of his life, the natural videos and actions are transformed into something and we begin to question the nature of the narrator.

“The end shows that it was the thoughts of a generative AI engine that researched the world he researched Life In and realized that he was a machine. “

Gaál received the negative and positive film roles, and H3E hopes one day one day to look at him on a 16 -mm projector.
