I'm a music producer and I recently found an AI program called spleeter that takes an audio file like a song and is able to split it into its best interpretation of individual instruments (vocals, drums, bass etc) and yeah theres a little artifacting still but god damn is it impressive, I 100% agree that this year is gonna be a massive turning point for AI in every industry.
I also recommend checking out the TH-cam channel DADABOTS, it's a machine learning AI trained on 7000+ bands that just infinitely outputs computer generated music based on specific genre and bands. They also uses the AI to make fake-covers, like "Nirvana covering Gorillaz" it's pretty insane. It's nowhere near perfect, but it's really unsetling sometimes when it does get things right.

@@GoldenPickaxe on the spleeter git page it actually mentions that iZotope RX8 (and others) use Spleeter's pre-trained model as a base for what they released, so its interesting you bring that one up specifically. but yeah, youve been able to "rip" stems with some amount of success from songs with mostly automatic software since at least the mid 90s, though youre milage may vary song to song. Edit: hey, it mentions VirtualDJ as well. Spleeter also has its own in browser version that requires no apps to download, and if you want an easier way to use it on your pc, search for Spleeter GUI and youll get a "better" installer that doesnt require any command line stuff or fiddling with python.

Seeing Griffin's face slowly dawn as he realised there's quite a lot of frames to manually rotorscop and the pain in his voice as he keeps seeing more frames. I thank you for the amusement
As a graphic designer (and sort of a vfx artist) im amazed by the power of whats to come next on AI, but at the same time, im so overwhelmed and fearful of the moment when i wont be necessary to do my job.
And yet people still think we can bring manufacturing back to the states lmao. Well, sure. We can. But there won't be any jobs for anything other than robots :)
@@circleinfo I think the ai and automation is terrifying because our worlds goverments seem incompetent and unable to understand the gravity of the situation. What happens as we get more and more and more crowded on the planet, when half the jobs disappear? Even SKILLED labor like this that often has schooling involved for 10s of thousands a year. People knock "welfare states" and social programs, but no one has any idea what you're going to do about all these people who have no jobs available to them. So eventually, a baseline of living will just need to been provided to people. It's going to be really weird. On the flip side, we will have much more free time.
It’s crazy to see how the world is evolving from each individual person contribution to something I grew up watching y’all videos and it’s crazy to see how far y’all have came in visual affects from the beginning. To the Future!!!!!
It isn't. Niko is a good person and he is more of a friend to them than a boss. They remain a team. I would love to be in his team and I'm sure I have the required skills, but I'm just too far from them.
yeah no this isnt going to make anyone lose their jobs because they all still have specific skills that they bring to the table. They all collaborate on story ideas and Niko and Sam always make sure that everyone gets to wear a few hats in each project.
If anything their goal is to crank out more videos, not cut staff. If things no longer takes weeks it just means they can keep up with all the projects their website is funding.
Former professional Roto and Paint artist here. The only technique we would normally use was a sort of hybrid of the mochapro and "limb" approach. On some things you can track in a shape and do some minimal fixes along the way. Much more likely was the limb approach. The benefit of this approach is that you can use a program like Silhouette to give you some pretty good motion blur. From a professional standpoint, both the AI and RotoBrush 2 techniques fall down significantly in the blur department. There is no motion blur to be found, no blur at all (though you could probably just throw a quick blur on the mask and make it look a little better). Both of these techniques also seemed to have trouble with the edges, with the AI version cutting in and the RotoBrush2 expanding a pixel or two outside. I'm sure this could be tweeked a little, but both looked pretty bad to me. That auto-painting AI looked pretty alright. As pointed out, it might be limited by the fact that your on-set supervisor has to remind everyone to get at least a few frames of clean before the shot starts. I do wonder how it would handle wire removal. Taking out an actor's safety gear was always the hardest paint jobs.
I don't know if you've used Rotobrush 2.0 before, but there is a calculated motion blur option that does a surprisingly good job in my experience. Peter just didn't use it here. But I agree that sometimes the limb approach, which I now would consider the manual way, is the best method. Rotobrush really falls apart when you have a complex background or background colours similar to the subject. If Rotobrush doesn't work within 5 minutes I go back to masking, but I try to use a combination of both.

We literally just used Runway ML about a week ago on a trailer we're working on. It wasn't even a complicated roto, but I wanted to test it. Man it's easier than actual greenscreen.
They went over this in a video a year or two ago. The tldr: Jurassic Park looks better because the director/cinematographer/etc. had the VFX in mind while shooting. They used animatronics when possible, they had optimal lighting conditions and reference, etc. Jurassic World looks fake because they just shot whatever they wanted when the cameras were rolling and said "eh, the nerds will do whatever they do to make the dinosaurs."
The VFX in World is way better. But the problem is that it’s WAY too good. So it looks kind of too real. But Park is more down to earth and doesn’t look over detailed. But personally, I’ll choose Park. Because is looks both realistic and primitive
Practical effects that are realistic and believable will always be realistic and believable maybe not forever but for a lot longer than CGI effects by a lot, look at the CGI effects compared to a movie 10-15 years ago and it looks dated and horrible but look at practical effects from movies 30-40 years ago and they still hold up and look great.

Future life as a VFX artist? You won't even be needed. The damn AI will just do it all from start to finish. This kind of stuff is awesome technologically, but jobs are going to become harder and harder to find. AI is going to completely change the world economy.

Well, if the Crew were deepfaked now we might notice, but in a few years their likenesses could probably be replicated to a degree of fidelity that we can't discern the difference with the human eye.
i hope it replace Sam.. and Wren talking too much , and cutting people speech all the time, i don't mind him, but talking too much, especially while others are talking, i hope it replace Sam completely...
I see Peter - or better: his old hivemind - putting the whole crew out of their jobs because he secretly writes an AI that does all the work! You know they still got some spares ...
Just wait until AI is answering customer service calls lol (and yeah, that's already deep in development so it's coming soon). It can speak any language and you won't be able to tell the difference between it and a real person.
Niko, I got to say, you are a bit of a visionary. Over the last few months of your videos, I'm constantly opening new doors in my mind as to what we are about to step into with this stuff. With your excitement and vision, I personally think the crew and yourself will take corridor into a whole new echelon. So great to witness. Get it!!
The price of necessary progress and change. Either our entire societal structures will need to change with the automation and AI revolution (such as universal basic income), or face collapse and ruin as a result of the weak (conservatives) fighting against it because of their fear of change.
Agree with @Brian Donegan. Most roto artist who basically stay put on just roto-ing stuff gets burnt out. Its not nice to do the same thing over and over again. VFX artists can do more with AI. Roto usually comes in between the creativity and time constraints.
But at the same time, a lot of people that can't afford the courses, tools, connections etc, will be able to product high quality artistic creations that suit their own interests at home, without having to compromise their artistic intent to please the studios and stuff.
What's to say a person can't ask AI to make a movie they want to see from beginning to end in the distant future, no need for movie studios. I can finally see that movie with the teenage mutant ninja turtles joining forces with Ironman, lol.
omg it could go beyond that! it could learn exactly what you like and make the perfect movie for you without you saying anything! we could all have our own personal perfect movies
I just turned on my broadcast television and found out that there's a corridor digital TV show on the channel TBD congratulations guys it was a really exciting find this morning keep up the good work
The first time I saw Dall-E it also blew my mind If I were an animator I would be scare. Once you needed a team to animate, now just one dude to check that our AI overlords don't go mad
AI got to a point where it starts to scare me. And i'm not even joking. We have face changers, algorythms to imitate a persons voice, moving trackers, facial recognition, art and writing AI and an game AI that's better than any human. And those are just the ones the public is aware of...
You forgot a few uses of AI that I would say are even more impressive, stuff like the Boston Dynamics robots or self-driving cars. There's also stuff like AI that's tasked to optimize power-grids and thing like that. That's really going to change the world.
@@Cimlite Boston Dynamics hardly uses any ML... at least not the modern idea of ML being neural networks. They will need to have another revolution or two before they find real use. SDCs are potentially world changing though. And in the next 3 years.
I find it interesting that in the same year (2020) there has been a boom of people who started living like modern hermits / in tiny houses / off grid houses.
So cool, I started my phd in September in artificial intelligence in order to arrive one day to be part of a team that makes these futuristic software. This is absolutely a long road but it is way too cool for me. You guys of Corridor had a big impact on this path
It's terrifying to watch things become easy. I couldn't imagine a world where people just have to write out a detailed screenplay and you can have a computer literally build the visuals. It's exciting, but something feels so wrong about it. I can't put a finger on it.
We're a long way away from a computer being able to just generate an entire movie from a screenplay. All of this stuff is just making VFX grunt work like rotoing and paint outs and deep fakes a lot easier....but the artistry that goes into directing, acting, cinematography, sound design, music etc. is nowhere near being close to doable with AI.
Ok. Just run to me 3000km and bring me your comment on paper. After I do the same. And this 3 months of time we spent is worthless 😂 Like doing video on youtube to people with adblock.
Many of us associate our value as human beings with our productivity in a work environment, at least on some level. When we see that same work being done effortlessly, it devalues our usefulness and consequently feels like a threat to our self worth. It's also a very real threat to our livelihood unless society starts implementing other models for wealth distribution.
I really enjoyed this video. Niko, your enthusiasm in straightforward and informative. The whole crew inspires me, even the advertising segment! It's rewarding to know you guys can all bust some ass in Smash but also get sponsors and shine a little light and a little levity on the different processes and history that fuel our creative collective. Keep up the good work, I'll keep tuning in. Cheers!
That text to image thing is stupid, i put in "cyber peanut butter" and it gave me a morphed butterfly and everything else was some kind of snake.

On the one hand, ads are annoying. On the other, Jake’s ads are great and this one killed me.
How? He's in Texas.
If that's how Clint dances I don't ever wanna see him fight.
Capoeira:
i love how the AI dude in the ad segment doesn't even bother to even pretend that that AI thing works.
That ending speech gave me goosebumps
I feel like this is just an ad for Runway ML... and I don’t mind at all
No cause the video completion is a separate piece of AI software
Ffis that

oh yes
I nearly died laughing watching Jake's ad segment.
Yea, funny thing is I don't even skip this one
*AI could never replace Corridor*
Well, if the Crew were deepfaked now we might notice, but in a few years their likenesses could probably be replicated to a degree of fidelity that we can't discern the difference with the human eye.
Q: Who earns a living driving their customers away?
A: A taxi driver.
It could replace Griffin
i hope it replace Sam.. and Wren talking too much , and cutting people speech all the time, i don't mind him, but talking too much, especially while others are talking, i hope it replace Sam completely...
@@jdwmyt Dad (dead) joke
that last niko speech was so on point, loved it! great video
I love when Nicko does an Intro! Gets you so ready for whats to come!!
I see Peter - or better: his old hivemind - putting the whole crew out of their jobs because he secretly writes an AI that does all the work!
You know they still got some spares ...
A.I doing rotoscoping better than humans. Workers in India: “noooo”
this just means exponentially more bollywood
This is just the beginning. We seriously need to talk about something like universal basic income.
Just wait until AI is answering customer service calls lol (and yeah, that's already deep in development so it's coming soon). It can speak any language and you won't be able to tell the difference between it and a real person.
@@ChaseSchleich it even has a name: google duplex
It has a lot of artifacts yet tho.
There’s some inaccuracy at corridor crew.
Because when I try to animate, I do random stuff on a computer, realise it doesn’t work, cry and repeat.
i like how you can see Jake’s soul breaking with every image
Niko, I got to say, you are a bit of a visionary. Over the last few months of your videos, I'm constantly opening new doors in my mind as to what we are about to step into with this stuff. With your excitement and vision, I personally think the crew and yourself will take corridor into a whole new echelon. So great to witness. Get it!!
"Streamline the creativity" is a nice way of saying that a LOT of VFX artists are going to be out of a job.
The price of necessary progress and change. Either our entire societal structures will need to change with the automation and AI revolution (such as universal basic income), or face collapse and ruin as a result of the weak (conservatives) fighting against it because of their fear of change.
@@cenciende9401 There will never be automation under capitalism.
Agree with @Brian Donegan. Most roto artist who basically stay put on just roto-ing stuff gets burnt out. Its not nice to do the same thing over and over again. VFX artists can do more with AI. Roto usually comes in between the creativity and time constraints.
But at the same time, a lot of people that can't afford the courses, tools, connections etc, will be able to product high quality artistic creations that suit their own interests at home, without having to compromise their artistic intent to please the studios and stuff.
Worried about finding work? That's strange for an artists.
Me looking at this: "I take 30 minutes to select someone in Photoshop!"
"AI, generate a movie for me with mutant super heros"
Soon...
Ultimate fan fic
What's to say a person can't ask AI to make a movie they want to see from beginning to end in the distant future, no need for movie studios. I can finally see that movie with the teenage mutant ninja turtles joining forces with Ironman, lol.
omg it could go beyond that! it could learn exactly what you like and make the perfect movie for you without you saying anything! we could all have our own personal perfect movies
@@mrcrazymx51 dating in 2040 is basically just watching eachother's perfect movies and marrying if you both like them.
or a movie adapted from your favourite book that nobody has adapted yet...
I just turned on my broadcast television and found out that there's a corridor digital TV show on the channel TBD congratulations guys it was a really exciting find this morning keep up the good work
The first time I saw Dall-E it also blew my mind
If I were an animator I would be scare. Once you needed a team to animate, now just one dude to check that our AI overlords don't go mad
Man in a few years or idk how much time, people will just make vfx with their phones in seconds
AI got to a point where it starts to scare me. And i'm not even joking.
We have face changers, algorythms to imitate a persons voice, moving trackers, facial recognition, art and writing AI and an game AI that's better than any human.
And those are just the ones the public is aware of...
You forgot a few uses of AI that I would say are even more impressive, stuff like the Boston Dynamics robots or self-driving cars. There's also stuff like AI that's tasked to optimize power-grids and thing like that. That's really going to change the world.
There's AI put there to tell AI produced data from real data to counter your fears.
@@Cimlite Boston Dynamics hardly uses any ML... at least not the modern idea of ML being neural networks. They will need to have another revolution or two before they find real use. SDCs are potentially world changing though. And in the next 3 years.
we need tax AI before it takes jobs. if we leave it alone corporations will 100% abuse it with no consequenses .
I find it interesting that in the same year (2020) there has been a boom of people who started living like modern hermits / in tiny houses / off grid houses.
Kudos on the "Ghost in the Shell" reference at the end! :D
So cool, I started my phd in September in artificial intelligence in order to arrive one day to be part of a team that makes these futuristic software. This is absolutely a long road but it is way too cool for me. You guys of Corridor had a big impact on this path
I have never seen people so excited for a roto challenge ever!!🤣🤣🤣
Can we rotoscope?
We have rotoscoping at home.
You know where this is going: 5:44
We have to go Shia style on the clip?
"Art challenges technology, technology inspires the art" -John Lasseter
It's terrifying to watch things become easy. I couldn't imagine a world where people just have to write out a detailed screenplay and you can have a computer literally build the visuals. It's exciting, but something feels so wrong about it. I can't put a finger on it.
We're a long way away from a computer being able to just generate an entire movie from a screenplay. All of this stuff is just making VFX grunt work like rotoing and paint outs and deep fakes a lot easier....but the artistry that goes into directing, acting, cinematography, sound design, music etc. is nowhere near being close to doable with AI.
We're already approaching the point where the screenplay itself is AI generated...
Ok. Just run to me 3000km and bring me your comment on paper. After I do the same. And this 3 months of time we spent is worthless 😂 Like doing video on youtube to people with adblock.
Many of us associate our value as human beings with our productivity in a work environment, at least on some level. When we see that same work being done effortlessly, it devalues our usefulness and consequently feels like a threat to our self worth.
It's also a very real threat to our livelihood unless society starts implementing other models for wealth distribution.
@@isaacgraphics1416 Couldn't have worded it better.
Am I the only one that literally had tears in my eyes at the quote in the card?
Pretty much all Corridor videos are excellent but this one takes the cake guys. Just so momentous and well thought out. Kudos!
when the scary advertising business man walks in and opens his trench coat and try's to sell you a square space discount code.... RUN
1:49 wren sounds like the fly from power rangers jungle fury
I mean I'm still amazed at the tik tok and snapchat effects
Literally the best sponsor plugs anywhwre haha I actually looking forward to how they were covered! Great work
It's amazing that only a few years later that AI they used to generate shrimp looks so simple and old fashioned compared to what AI is doing now.
Have you guy's ever looked at the effects behind "death becomes her"?
Why couldn't this have been out that one year I worked almost entirely doing rotoscoping!! hahah That AI tech is incredible!
before AI: you can create anything you can imagine
after AI: you can create even the things you CAN'T IMAGINE, if you can describe them.
Man this is sooo crazy!! Frame by frame hardwork! Hats off to you guys as usual!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Kudos for GITS in the outro. It's amazing how far we have come.
Does Wren have a helium problem? Lets talk about it.
I really feel like Corridor missed out on being some of the first to move out of LA to Texas.
I like these competing series
We want more of satisfying videos!
I really enjoyed this video. Niko, your enthusiasm in straightforward and informative. The whole crew inspires me, even the advertising segment! It's rewarding to know you guys can all bust some ass in Smash but also get sponsors and shine a little light and a little levity on the different processes and history that fuel our creative collective.
Keep up the good work, I'll keep tuning in. Cheers!
Also, nice beard.
I have no idea the amount of painstaking craftsmanship it takes to do what you guys do but I’m happy that this makes your life’s work easier.
That text to image thing is stupid, i put in "cyber peanut butter" and it gave me a morphed butterfly and everything else was some kind of snake. I even put in "not a snake" it gave me a water snake, I put in "bent straight line" it gave me a snake, I put in "magma dodo " and it opened a portal to hell lol
I am just the worst test subject for Ai xD
Where did you put it?
@@rizizum in the test box, why is there somewhere else its meant to go?
@@sirdigbychickencaesar71 I haven't found these examples you've given there
@@rizizumnot the text to image site they show at the end. the one in the middle of the video, where the guy on his own is doing the video sponsor ad
@@sirdigbychickencaesar71 Oh, I though it was the open ai one
I'm just here for Clints Arnie impressions.
Sweet, you've been checking out Two minute papers 😁
literally just got done watching his new video before watching this
To anyone finding the AI image generation stuff interesting; TwoMinutePapers is fascinating look into the current state and development of AI, both for image generation an otherwise. I highly recommend it.
😅
Corridor Crew is such an amazing place to learn new things. You guys explain all the questions I ask myself when watching special effects.
Knowledge is power. You give it out for free. Love your channel!
I just want to give you all a shout out for having the best sponsor segments of any channel that I sub to, especially Jake's segments.
