SPOTLIGHT
'REELING'
This is a showcase to inspire you to think outside the box, don’t get comfortable, and always push yourself in new directions. We should always be evolving new creative thinking around AI film and this is just a small piece of a giant bucket of possibilities when combining #GVFX and practical design software tools with imagination. Like last week, with my V2V music video “Praying For A Soul That Better’s Mine”, this is gonna be unlike any of my work prior. This is the second of 8 videos showcases I will be doing, all focusing on different art directions. Thanks to everyone who sent me comments for it, psyched to have you guys be a part of this! 😉🚀🔥💯🎥 #aifilm #NeoCinema

FLITE
by Tim Webber / Framestore. Super impressive sci-fi made with Unreal about a world champion hoverboarder attempting a daring escape. FLITE Dir. Tim Webber / @framestoreofficial In London 2053, a world champion hoverboarder finds herself imprisoned in a luxury skyscraper apartment by her controlling manager. With the help of a well-meaning stranger she engineers an ingenious high-rise escape but soon finds herself riding for her life. "FLITE is a film I’ve been eagerly awaiting for much of 2023. Rare is it that a short film trailer drop feels like an event, but, back in May, FLITE got that treatment from the Hollywood Reporter, and in-depth writeups in specialized industry publications soon followed. This is not the norm, but not every short film can claim an Oscar-winning VFX Supervisor as its director, someone whose fingerprints are all over several of the most beloved and acclaimed films of the 21st century. Tim Webber is that director, and also the Chief Technology Officer of the VFX powerhouse Framestore. The former Oxford Physics student has pioneered some of the approaches we now bundle under the umbrella of “virtual production” in his career, perhaps most notably on the 2013 Alfonso Cuarón film Gravity, and now applies that expertise to his own turn in the director’s chair" - S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi CAST: Alba Baptista Gethin Anthony Daniel Lawrence Taylor CREW Written & Directed by Tim Webber (Framestore) Produced by Simon Whalley & Diarmid Scrimshaw VFX Supervisor - Theo Jones Realtime Supervisor - Nestor Prado Visualisation Supervisor - Francisco Pacheco Beltran Animation Supervisor - James King Compositing Supervisor - Wouter Gilsing Editor - Daphne Tychogiorgou Original Music - Harry Escott Sound Designer - Ben Goodal Colourist - Jean-Clément Soret Animation & VFX by Framestore Colour & Finish by Company 3
“WE CAME FROM THE SKY” AI Art Film
The idea behind this film isn't very deep, but it is meaningful. This was made with KLING. At the time, no one had it and other than SORA, no one had that level of fidelity on shots, so I wanted to test it out and see what it could do with some physics, human and real world. This idea came from a dream actually. I have this weird recurring dream sometimes, where I am paralyzed but flying, this is basically my real-world visualization of that, haha. Enjoy.

Make the Dancefloor Great Again!
On a whim I typed “Donald Trump as Tony Manero in the movie Saturday Night Fever” into Midjourney. The hilarious image I got back inspired me to create a series of images of Donald Trump in a 1977 disco movie. The alternate Universe story of the 45th President of the United States leaving politics after his defeat in the 2020 election and opening a disco, tumbled out from there. It started sounding like a story Donald would tell about himself - how he opened a disco and it was the hottest spot in town until corrupt city officials tried to sabotage him. The madcap premise gave me an opportunity to push this new medium of AI-generated filmmaking and create something unlike anything I’d done before.
Mother
Mother is a thriller set in Salem Massachusetts in the 1940s. Salem is famous for its witch trials dating back to the 1600s, and in this short film, an expecting housewife finds a tunnel in her basement that leads to a decaying, underground bedroom occupied by a little girl and her witch of a mother.

DRIVEN TO SPEED
"DRIVEN TO SPEED" dives into the electrifying and perilous world of professional racing, where every second counts and every decision can mean the difference between victory and disaster. The story follows two main characters: Vega, an underdog racer fueled by passion and determination, and Steele, a seasoned champion fighting to prove he's not past his prime. The film opens with a dramatic setting at the pit lane, capturing the intense atmosphere and high stakes of the race. As Vega prepares for the race, his crew chief expresses concerns over tire wear, but Vega's fierce resolve to stay ahead of Steele drives him to take risks. Interspersed with the thrilling race sequences are glimpses into the personal lives and internal struggles of the racers. Vega's determination and Steele's battle with his own ego and the pressure of past achievements set the stage for a gripping narrative. The tension escalates with a backstory involving Steele's near-fatal crash just a week prior, adding layers of suspense and emotional depth. The climactic race becomes a metaphor for their internal battles, culminating in a showdown that tests their limits and redefines their destinies. Who will win? It's anyone's guess... IN-DEPTH BACKSTORY OF PROJECT: DRIVEN TO SPEED is a mock commercial ad for a futuristic VR company called 'DEVO VR' and their new VR headsets, REACT and REACT PRO, that tap into your cerebral cortex and literally stimulate your nerves and senses to feel the game as if it is happening in reality. The concept was to create something that felt like a short film but is revealed to be a game, something so real, you couldn't even tell, and so real you'll feel it. This concept is a bridge to AI conceptual work in the game industry commercially in marketing and in-game content. Tools Used: Midjourney, RunwayML, ElevenLabs, KLING
