Over the past 15 years, creative tools have truly become democratized. Whereas it used to be more expensive to own audiovisual equipment such as a camera, everyone now owns a device for filming, recording voice and sound, and so on. Even filmmakers have managed to shoot entire movies with just telephones. Special effects software has become more mainstream, and now AI is getting in on the act. In a talk (in English with French subtitles), digital creator Bilawal Sidhu explains how this latest technology will change everything.
While the young Indian film and special effects enthusiast has worked hard on After Effects and other programs, today things have undoubtedly become easier with different algorithms capable of reproducing physical elements in a set that are absent with advanced photogrammetry. It is now possible to photograph or film a real location and effortlessly add static or moving elements. For example, it's possible to bring to life a fresco painted on a wall, or create paths of cherry blossom petals, even in a nocturnal setting.
It's even possible to film someone normally, and the artificial intelligence will transform them into a creature, an alien, an anthropomorphic animal and so on. All without having to learn dozens of software programs. For the presenter, these possibilities are a dream come true for the younger generation of designers, who could well revolutionize their creations.
