On-screen text

"AI looks too perfect" "AI just looks..." too perfect? No? What do you mean? Perfect lighting. Perfect skin. Perfect dog? Every frame looks way too fucking perfect man. I used to play Grand Theft Auto and I found all the cheat codes. All the money. Every weapon. Every car Sound amazing. It was... For a day... because there was no challenge. Come on Mark... We're... Creatives! Where's the fun of creating if it's always perfect? I want the struggle back... I don't know man... I don't know man... Have you ever thought about using real footage? Yeah, I have... Yeah, I have... Don't always rely on the cheat codes. Get out there and film papi. Fin.

Original caption

“AI looks too perfect” Making something good has never been easier, which is exactly why it stopped feeling like an achievement. Cheat codes made the game boring, and the same thing happens when every frame comes out flawless. Sometimes the answer is to pick up a camera, accept the bad audio and the wobbly handheld, and let the imperfections do the work. #CreativeAI #AIFilmmaking #ShotOniPhone #CreativeProcess #Filmmaking
