As it should. AI was never meant to replace the artist but being a tool in extension to the artist's skills and creative vision. If the artist can be replaced by AI or is over reliant on it, then that only means they're not very good at their craft.
@@FILMCRUX alright it's a Time Saver not a replacement and unfortunately people try to use it more as a replacement and that's why most things look like crap
@@thearcanamodernau8130 Well said. While that’s true, it can of course be used to replace many more artists being needed on a single project by expanding the ability of each individual artist, just like the invention of digital filmmaking. How it’s used is of course up to each individual, and then eventually AI itself.
@@rayge It replaces many things, saves time on many other things, but like all tools, they are only as good as the hands of the artist or craftsman they’re in. That is until of course more AI become artists themselves that do not require input from humans at all. Then both human and AI artists will co-exist as well, but to a far greater degree than they do today.
If you can’t use these tools creatively, then how creative were you really?

I can't use the fill extent of this tutorial just because I have a few different tools, but this is a nice inside look to how one could plan out and develop a trailer. Especially if you can't use a traditional method with a full film or show produced to source scenes and shots. Thank you for posting this.
@@mythicproductions9154 That’s so kind of you to say. Thank you so much! We totally agree. These types of workflows and how they’re evolving are going to allow for so many more accessible ways for people to make films and be creative. It really is the true democratization of filmmaking.
Nice. Years of Design and VFX study thrown down the toilet. Now even those who have no minimal knowledge of anything can do everything. Button-press-monkeys tools.
Not at all. We have years of design and VFX knowledge that was required to make this. Haha. If you think just anyone can make this, try it. Let’s see what you got, but you have it all wrong. This doesn’t make your work obsolete. It just allows you to do ten times more than was previously possible. It definitely doesn’t give you taste. You still need to develop that yourself.
Honestly it's this level of grandeur that's been missing from Star Wars (well good stories wouldn't hurt). Some of the best movies in history have no dialogue, just grand vistas, and sweeping music to convey emotion, such as Luke Skywalker looking up at the twin sun's setting and we immediately know the longing and sadness that he may be stuck on this moisture farm forever. Of course, these shots can't exist in a vacuum, dialogue still needs to drive character and plot. It seems sometimes when I watch new movies that the filmmakers didn't even study these basic concepts in film school. Too often, every split second is filled with dialogue as an excuse to get to the next action scene, meaning there's no drama or tension, no space to allow the audience to experience the emotion. The other mistake made excessively today is over the top CGI. For example, at the end of Star Trek Picard season 1 and Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker, a thousand ships show up for the battle. It's a mess, and the number of ships actually takes AWAY from the drama. How many times in Star Trek did ONE ship decloak in front of the enterprise menacingly to great effect. CGI is a fantastic tool, but it requires careful application so as not to detract from the story.
Couldn’t agree more! This is such a beautiful comment. Thank you. We feel the exact same way. Hayao Miyazaki does this phenomenally in his films. Genndy Tartakovsky as well with his shows Primal and Samural Jack. Miyazaki calls this “ma”, which is emptiness or negative space in films. We actually have plans for an entire film universe for SOL KILLER, and they will be filmed exactly that way; very sparse dialogue with a massive emphasis on visual storytelling, which after all, is the entire point of filmmaking, and it’s what separates it from every other medium.
It's like sitting in a beautiful SMEG Kitchen, having a pantry full of exotic spices, but having no idea about cooking. AI is NOT going to make any Joe into the next Steven Spielberg. It is just a tool, you still need to know the basics and have creativity. AI is no substitution for creativity and storytelling.
Thank you so much! They’re listed here, but we did all the editing inside CapCut on Desktop, in addition to using Midjourney, PixelCut, Adobe After Effects, Element 3D inside After Effects, LeiaPix, and Eleven Labs. Hope that helps!
Soul is just a made up concept that doesn’t mean anything. We’re more interested in real things, like being creative, experimenting with new tools and ways of doing things, and bringing our dreams to life by making the best work we can with everything at our disposal. If you’re truly an artist, you should be able to make great art with anything.
@@DizajnirajProfit That's a presumption of yours, however the truth is that it is already replacing human art. The problem with these tools lies in the fact that they scrape the internet for images created by humans to train their models on and are gaining in popularity -fast-. Wide adoption of these tools is cost and labour effective, thus virtually inevitable, resulting in less original art of human origin available on the internet and causing the next iteration of such a model to train on images generated largely by itself. This leads to increasingly lower quality art, that doesn't progress in terms of creativity and originality. Will human art then finally be reintroduced into society when AI generated art has muddled the pool but as a niche? Possible, but in the long run with massive job losses initially, and since AI poses real existential threats, we should be asking ourselves the question if there will be a humanity left to enjoy art at all. #NoGenerativeAI #AIDangers #StayAwake #SayNoToArtificialIntelligence
This guys knows definitely what he is doing. I'd assume he's already an artist with a lot of practice. But unfortunately a lot of people think everyone can create an AI Hollywood trailer within a day, without understanding that stuff isn't just easy but it is a whole process to learn them and integrate it into your own workflow. And for sure people don't want to pay more then a pocken money because "AI" is doing everything. However... Thank you so much for this video and giving us this knowledge 😀
Yeah its a little weird to say capcut a lot when wide angle estableshing shots for example are the only zoom in shots you wont see parralax in. So the shots are choosen specifically for it to be doable in capcut and marketed that way. It is not that you can just make whatever you envision. However it is easier than ever to make anything.
No problem! Appreciate the kind words. I definitely don’t want people to think that because AI can do many things, they still don’t have a lot they have to do, or that they shouldn’t put just as much effort into everything they do. The only difference now is that you can get a lot more output for your effort. Hopefully people can take some of these techniques and incorporate them into their own stuff like you said. -Lion
This is amazing. After watching this I beseech you to peek into Invoke AI for custom generative builds. PS is great, but greater and focused control is immeasurable when using this. But then again, you may stick with PS. Great watching this guys!
Glad you liked it! This had a lot of limitations, but keep an eye out for our future stuff where we don’t have to be limited to using AI for every shot.
@@roflryan1 Haha. Perhaps, but Hollywood is adopting AI as well. It will help everyone, but it will help indie filmmakers a disproportionate amount, which we’re here for.
Thank you very much for the amazing video and explanation. Please excuse my cliche skepticism/question: Seeing this amazing work, I wonder, is there a point for me to pursue a full time job in VFX? Or better not, as AI is simplifying and unfortunately or eventually is taking over some tasks, that otherwise would require a human to do them, i.e. Previz artists and Matte painters. Many thanks again for sharing your knowledge. All the best!
No need to apologize! Thanks for the kind words. Honestly, we recommend people avoid making jobs their goal all together. Jobs are actually one of the worst ways to make money. We recommend learning a myriad of skills you’re interested in, and combining them in unique ways to have a one-of-a-kind skillset that you can use to make your own things that you can then monetize. That’s what we do, and it’s the future of creative work. The entire notion of jobs in the traditional way is becoming more and more of an antiquated concept.
Who said art will be replaced with AI? AI is just another tool artists may use to create the work they want. There’s also no such thing as “soulless” art. That doesn’t mean anything.
@@FILMCRUX No such thing? Yes, there is such a thing. And it is vast majority of everything presented as "art" in todays world. But that is a debate for another place and another medium.
@@zograf4572 You can certainly make a claim like that, but it’s totally arbitrary. That claim can be made about anyone’s art, because it doesn’t actually mean anything.
@@FILMCRUX Art is not nearly as subjective as people perceive it. If it was we could not see obvious degradation of art in certain historical periods (for example late Roman period and majority of middle ages etc.). Art has an objective value witch doesnt imply that you need to enjoy it or that it has to have some meaning to you. It just means that its value is universal and it comes from a personal perspective (actually much more complicated than that but I'll let it be). When art becomes generic, when its expression becomes stylized, when you can no longer determine the difference between art made by different people, than art becomes soleless, because it starts lacking that personal perspective of a PERSON who created it. Art is special, always has been, always will be, and therefore it is rare and very difficult to create. And thats why not every painting is art, no matter how it was made.
@@zograf4572 We are aware that art is more objective than people think. We’re saying that your arbitrary statement is what’s subjective, which it is. We also disagree with your definition of art, which is also subjective. The definition we use for art is ‘any creative work’. You’re of course welcome to use any definition you like, we just don’t find whichever definition you’re using particularly helpful or sensical, but that of course doesn’t mean you’re any less welcome to use it if you want.
Much appreciated! We were going for a retro, sci-fi TV aesthetic, but that’s not familiar to most people so we understand why everyone doesn’t get the style. Thanks so much for the kind words though!
The birds are just 2D VFX assets composited in with After Effects, and those spaceships are composited in with Element 3D inside After Effects. If there’s enough demand, we might do an entire video on how we do our space shots!
@@GetAClueMarketingShow Thank you! We’re going to make feature films and television shows with or without studios. In fact, this is one of our properties that we used for this experiment, but we made this just to showcase the current state of what these AI tools could do at the time. Appreciate that by the way!
There are so many game-changing new tools for filmmakers coming out, this is literally the biggest revolution in filmmaking since the invention of cameras themselves.
great work, friendly thought, I think the voice is too familiar, doesn't have the same effect as the video, maybe someone with a deeper voice, like you said close your eyes and listen to the voice like listening to the sound
It’s familiar now, but it wasn’t when it was initially made. We’ve been using Eleven Labs since day one, and now it’s become insanely popular. Haha. We might do another one in the future to show people what can be done now since things have evolved so much. Glad you liked the video!
@@FILMCRUX ahaha, yes I insist that your "feeling lucky" button is just this. No imagination, generic art, things that will ruin your real talent. Go and draw it. Think it. Model it, texture, rig, animate, post and I can see that you are good. Otherwise you are just some wierdos with Ai.
Thank you! Here’s what we wrote to another commenter asking about that: A few ways. One was that we used LeiaPix to add 3D motion to still images. Then we also used After Effects for compositing. This allowed us to drop 2D VFX assets like the dinosaur or fog right into the shots. Then finally we used Element 3D inside After Effects to animate 3D objects like the spaceship using keyframes. Those were the three main techniques. If you want to see more in depth of how we animate our space scenes, you can check out this tutorial here.

@@artstation707 Your comment is nonsense. It’s not a search engine at all. That’s not how it works. And if that’s all you can imagine it being used for, that says more about your lack of imagination than the tools themselves.
@@FILMCRUX Well, you know, I prefer to keep my imagination private, or at least not give my ideas away to those undeserving of them, unless of course they're willing to offer sufficient compensation. AI is pure stupidity. I sat at my computer for hours trying to get an AI art engine to draw what I asked it to. Although drawing hands is not my strong suit, I'd do a much better job; It is easier to sit down and draw the image myself.
@@artstation707 If that statement is any indication of your level of ideas, you’re unlikely to be compensated very well for them. It sounds like you’re just really bad at using the tools. We’ve seen young children use them with incredible success, so if you’re struggling that much with them, they may just not be for you.
Loved this, but I think Hedes would have been a better voice for this, I love eleven labs but Adam is probably the most unrealistic sounding of them all.
Thank you! We used Adam because he fits the retro TV sci-fi aesthetic we were going for, but it’s not an aesthetic everyone is familiar with so we totally understand. Eleven Labs is amazing though. You’re absolutely right.

@@tright6 Humans learn from looking at the work of other people too. Did you learn how to do VFX without ever seeing a single VFX shot in a movie or show?
If you can just be replaced with this, then you weren’t very valuable to begin with. If you have vision, and skills that are not easily replaceable by a computer, then you’re in no danger of losing out on money. In fact, these tools should help you make more money than ever before.
@@FILMCRUX Yeah no, those are two different things. One is a person choosing what they like and inspiring themselves off of that, AI is an algorithm designed to associate keywords and find patterns, which is why most AI generated artwork generally follows what's most popular unless the prompts are messed with.
One of the very few times, where the title is not clickbait. This is trully insane. Could you please create a video where you explain how you give motion to these pictures, how you generate them in Midjourney etc etc? Would really help us
Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you to say. We’ll probably make another video where we go into detail on our prompts and some of the other motion effects in the video, as well as a few other things, but if you have any specific things you want to know in the meantime, let us know and we’ll tell you how it was done!
@@FILMCRUX Biggest thing, I think, would be to know how you created the motion for the starfighters in various scenes, such as at the :40 second mark in the trailer or the :53 second mark here on the "How We Made This" video. You created a great sense of speed, and that's the main thing I'd personally be interested in learning how you did it. Also, is there a specific sound library you used for the sound design? You did an excellent job.
@@craiglearner9853 Thank you so much! We’re actually going to do an entire tutorial in the future on how we do our space scenes, especially for animating and compositing spaceships, but basically we use Element 3D inside Adobe After Effects. We just import the 3D model spaceship into Element 3D, animate its movement with keyframes, and make sure to turn on motion blur. We also animate the camera movement separately to add that additional since of kinetic energy and velocity. We then add any other elements into the shot, typically from our SOL Space VFX Packs, and just select the 3D layer on them to make them 3D. We then just move them around in the scene where we want them. As for the sound design library we use, we use a few sounds we’ve collected from random places, but the majority of all our sound design comes from our SINGULARITY Cinematic Sound Effects Library which you can get here: www.filmcrux.com/store/p/singularity Hope that helps, but if you have any other questions, let us know, and make something amazing with it!
@@FILMCRUX - Hey! Thanks so much. I appreciate your reply. I was wondering if you did some of the motion with keyframes. Not to get overly technical, but when you have a moment, could you also say whether you used keyframes to make the starfighters go from close up to long shots within the same scene? In the meantime, I'm definitely looking forward to your full tutorial on animating and compositing spaceships!
Thank you so much! We actually didn’t use AI for the music or sound effects. The music was an original piece created from scratch. We create music scores professionally, and we also sell packs of them in the FILM CRUX Store called OCTIVE Cinematic Music Libraries. The sound effects we created ourselves as well. They’re from our SINGULARITY and IMMERSION packs also in the FILM CRUX Store, and some of the sound effects are also from Splice. You can get all our stuff here though: www.filmcrux.com/store Hope that helps!
Amazing. I subscribed! Please make a instruction video for the motion effects like spaceship movements, explosion and etc. What kind of VFX did you use and how can we do like yours?
Thank you! Here’s a video on how we do our space VFX with our SOL Space VFX packs. This works the same way: th-cam.com/video/pWi8UMpcLtM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CxoZ0b6TOClJoSmh The rest of the VFX assets are just animating with Element 3D inside After Effects with 3D models from places like CGTrader, and simple compositing with VFX assets like the ones from ActionVFX. They all have great tutorials, but we may do some of our own videos on those subjects in the future!
@@Imma911 No worries! Great places to start are Runway, Pika Labs, Midjourney and LensGo. They’re surprisingly easy to learn just by playing around with them.
Mind officially blown! 🤯 This AI trailer is like a rollercoaster for the imagination - buckle up, folks, and let's unravel the mysteries behind the magic! 🚀✨
We use the pro version of CapCut, which is inexpensive so we think it’s definitely worth the upgrade, but you can do basically anything in the free version of CapCut too. Thank you for the kind words by the way!
As we said for the moving elements, we just took elements like smoke, fog, and other elements and composited them into the shot. We have some other videos already on how we do are space VFX, and we’ll probably make some other compositing and VFX-specific tutorials in the future though as well.
when you say composited... do you mean in this case, you imported them and added as a layer or on an exisiting shot in Capcut? or did you use another program/software to do this? @@FILMCRUX
@@rayge Exactly! Here’s a video on how we animate movement and do space VFX for all our videos that further breaks down our method and how easy it is: th-cam.com/video/pWi8UMpcLtM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AtRv0ppvSPGSaBQf
I would use different voice and music. LAt say that this kind of video need a voice with bass to shape the image, keep you waiting for next scene of the movie
Much appreciated! We actually have an entire property for SOL KILLER. This is just an experiment, but hopefully you’ll be able to see some more actual projects from this property in the future.
We will. This is just a challenge to see what we can create using AI for every shot, to test what can be done with the current state of AI. We have full TV series and movies planned though.
@@johnny_hammer We’re big fans of space westerns! Although, this is a bit more space opera than space western, but it has elements from both subgenres.
Woah, great production! ;'o However, I was surprised you chose that voice! ;'DD Hahaha! It sounds so wrong for any serious trailer ;'DDD For a comedy trailer about middle-aged dudes, yes, that voice works.
Glad you liked the video. We knew most people would not get the retro sci-fi TV aesthetic. We’re not surprised at all, but it’s just what we were going for.
It took a few weeks with a single person and no budget. AI can already do far better than this because it’s evolved so much in a short time. Within the year we’re likely to see full AI films using a single tool like Runway.

so the music theme was not AI generated but you simply found a royalty-free music that fit your needs or created it yourself by traditional means.....is that correct?
The music is not AI-generated. We created it ourselves to fit our needs, but it easily could have been AI generated with something like Suno or Beathoven. Hope that helps!
Great video! I was wondering how much of the effects/moves were done in graphics/compositing programmes ? There are parallaxes in the movements that wouldn’t be achieved with the key framing you demonstrate. Are you using layers of video and moving them for that or doing this in a 3D programme ? Are all the explosive ‘clouds’ jet trails stock assets or generated. These are not ai right ? Did you do any movement with ai generated video? I’ve found it difficult to do that with existing tools. Many thanks
Thank you so much!! Things like the explosions, spaceship contrails, dinosaur, creature wings, etc, are all VFX assets composited into the scenes. For the parallaxing, I used two main techniques. The first is a web-based AI program called LeiaPix which creates parallax movement in 2D images. The second technique which I didn’t cover here, was that I would generate and image in Midjourney of a subject in an environment. I did this for example with the shot of the woman watching the spaceship fly up and explode. Then I upscaled the image in PixelCut. Then I brought the upscaled image back into Pixel Cut and used the Background Remover to get a new image of just the character on a transparent background. Then I brought the original upscaled image into Photoshop, selected around the character, and used generative fill to remove the character from the scene. I now had two upscaled shots, one of just the character, and one of just the background. This let me put the character on a layer above the background, and keyframe animate movement of each layer separately to create the parallax effect. Hope that helps, but let me know if you have any more questions! -Lion
Hello @@FILMCRUX I really appreciate the feedback. I’m less experienced with compositing and after effects but will def try these parallax. Is ae your recommended approach to fx if I was to explore that route ? Many thanks again
@@liz4ward Definitely After Effects! It’s what we use for all our VFX. We actually learned from Andrew Kramer and his stuff at Video Copilot, so that’s a great place to start, and we’ll do more videos on VFX as well since a lot of people have been asking us questions about that. You’re probably also going to want to get Element 3D inside After Effects. That’s what we use for basically all our 3D VFX.
Umm… you glossed over the motion effects. Thats what people watching this want to see.
To show each motion effect in detail would take forever, so we just covered as many of them as we could without making this a thirty minute video. Haha. We already have other videos on compositing and VFX, but we’ll probably make more specific to this if there’s enough interest.

The other mistake made excessively today is over the top CGI. For example, at the end of Star Trek Picard season 1 and Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker, a thousand ships show up for the battle. It's a mess, and the number of ships actually takes AWAY from the drama. How many times in Star Trek did ONE ship decloak in front of the enterprise menacingly to great effect. CGI is a fantastic tool, but it requires careful application so as not to detract from the story.
Couldn’t agree more! This is such a beautiful comment. Thank you. We feel the exact same way. Hayao Miyazaki does this phenomenally in his films. Genndy Tartakovsky as well with his shows Primal and Samural Jack. Miyazaki calls this “ma”, which is emptiness or negative space in films.
We actually have plans for an entire film universe for SOL KILLER, and they will be filmed exactly that way; very sparse dialogue with a massive emphasis on visual storytelling, which after all, is the entire point of filmmaking, and it’s what separates it from every other medium.
It's like sitting in a beautiful SMEG Kitchen, having a pantry full of exotic spices, but having no idea about cooking. AI is NOT going to make any Joe into the next Steven Spielberg. It is just a tool, you still need to know the basics and have creativity. AI is no substitution for creativity and storytelling.
Wow 😲 what an amazing short animation film 🎥 what animation software are you using to create this amazing video . Which AI software
Thank you so much! They’re listed here, but we did all the editing inside CapCut on Desktop, in addition to using Midjourney, PixelCut, Adobe After Effects, Element 3D inside After Effects, LeiaPix, and Eleven Labs. Hope that helps!

AI is costing real artists their job and is taking the soul out of what it means to create artwork! Don't let it steal your job, but #StayAwake!
Soul is just a made up concept that doesn’t mean anything. We’re more interested in real things, like being creative, experimenting with new tools and ways of doing things, and bringing our dreams to life by making the best work we can with everything at our disposal. If you’re truly an artist, you should be able to make great art with anything.
Nah bro , AI will never replace human art
@@DizajnirajProfit That's a presumption of yours, however the truth is that it is already replacing human art. The problem with these tools lies in the fact that they scrape the internet for images created by humans to train their models on and are gaining in popularity -fast-. Wide adoption of these tools is cost and labour effective, thus virtually inevitable, resulting in less original art of human origin available on the internet and causing the next iteration of such a model to train on images generated largely by itself. This leads to increasingly lower quality art, that doesn't progress in terms of creativity and originality. Will human art then finally be reintroduced into society when AI generated art has muddled the pool but as a niche? Possible, but in the long run with massive job losses initially, and since AI poses real existential threats, we should be asking ourselves the question if there will be a humanity left to enjoy art at all. #NoGenerativeAI #AIDangers #StayAwake #SayNoToArtificialIntelligence

Excellent instructions for visualizing ideas, especially people who dream of things like this.✨ The Future is Now. Unless....
Thank you so, so much! Really hope this helps.
Thank you. This was awesome. Going to try something like this myself
Much appreciated! Definitely do. The tools have evolved so much since we created this, it’s insane.
This guys knows definitely what he is doing. I'd assume he's already an artist with a lot of practice. But unfortunately a lot of people think everyone can create an AI Hollywood trailer within a day, without understanding that stuff isn't just easy but it is a whole process to learn them and integrate it into your own workflow. And for sure people don't want to pay more then a pocken money because "AI" is doing everything.
However... Thank you so much for this video and giving us this knowledge 😀
Yeah its a little weird to say capcut a lot when wide angle estableshing shots for example are the only zoom in shots you wont see parralax in. So the shots are choosen specifically for it to be doable in capcut and marketed that way. It is not that you can just make whatever you envision. However it is easier than ever to make anything.
No problem! Appreciate the kind words. I definitely don’t want people to think that because AI can do many things, they still don’t have a lot they have to do, or that they shouldn’t put just as much effort into everything they do. The only difference now is that you can get a lot more output for your effort. Hopefully people can take some of these techniques and incorporate them into their own stuff like you said.

This is amazing. After watching this I beseech you to peek into Invoke AI for custom generative builds. PS is great, but greater and focused control is immeasurable when using this. But then again, you may stick with PS. Great watching this guys!
We’ll look into it for sure, and thanks so much for the kind words! We really appreciate it!
Would be nice to see fans teach Hollywood how to do great movies more often! 😊
Glad you liked it! This had a lot of limitations, but keep an eye out for our future stuff where we don’t have to be limited to using AI for every shot.
Hollywood: You can't defeat me I am too powerful!
Fans: We know but ai can.
Hollywood: O_O
@@roflryan1 Haha. Perhaps, but Hollywood is adopting AI as well. It will help everyone, but it will help indie filmmakers a disproportionate amount, which we’re here for.

@@roflryan1 Go for it! You can start learning now.
if the voice over tempo was litle bit lower it would be good, but nice job
Appreciate it!
I use the simple tool with enough good outcome, but your way to create is much more impressive in its final result, great tutorial, thanks!
Thank you! That’s so, so kind of you to say.
Thank you very much for the amazing video and explanation. Please excuse my cliche skepticism/question: Seeing this amazing work, I wonder, is there a point for me to pursue a full time job in VFX? Or better not, as AI is simplifying and unfortunately or eventually is taking over some tasks, that otherwise would require a human to do them, i.e. Previz artists and Matte painters.
Many thanks again for sharing your knowledge. All the best!
No need to apologize! Thanks for the kind words. Honestly, we recommend people avoid making jobs their goal all together. Jobs are actually one of the worst ways to make money. We recommend learning a myriad of skills you’re interested in, and combining them in unique ways to have a one-of-a-kind skillset that you can use to make your own things that you can then monetize. That’s what we do, and it’s the future of creative work. The entire notion of jobs in the traditional way is becoming more and more of an antiquated concept.
Delving into storytelling and video exploration, VideoGPT subtly refines my content, adding depth and professionalism to my creative projects.
What do you mean?
True art can never be replaced with AI, but the contemporary soleless "art" can.
Who said art will be replaced with AI? AI is just another tool artists may use to create the work they want. There’s also no such thing as “soulless” art. That doesn’t mean anything.
@@FILMCRUX No such thing? Yes, there is such a thing. And it is vast majority of everything presented as "art" in todays world. But that is a debate for another place and another medium.
@@zograf4572 You can certainly make a claim like that, but it’s totally arbitrary. That claim can be made about anyone’s art, because it doesn’t actually mean anything.
@@FILMCRUX Art is not nearly as subjective as people perceive it. If it was we could not see obvious degradation of art in certain historical periods (for example late Roman period and majority of middle ages etc.). Art has an objective value witch doesnt imply that you need to enjoy it or that it has to have some meaning to you. It just means that its value is universal and it comes from a personal perspective (actually much more complicated than that but I'll let it be). When art becomes generic, when its expression becomes stylized, when you can no longer determine the difference between art made by different people, than art becomes soleless, because it starts lacking that personal perspective of a PERSON who created it. Art is special, always has been, always will be, and therefore it is rare and very difficult to create. And thats why not every painting is art, no matter how it was made.
@@zograf4572 We are aware that art is more objective than people think. We’re saying that your arbitrary statement is what’s subjective, which it is. We also disagree with your definition of art, which is also subjective. The definition we use for art is ‘any creative work’. You’re of course welcome to use any definition you like, we just don’t find whichever definition you’re using particularly helpful or sensical, but that of course doesn’t mean you’re any less welcome to use it if you want.
Fantastic work! My only critique is the overused generic voice should've been swapped to something different. Bravo!
Much appreciated! We were going for a retro, sci-fi TV aesthetic, but that’s not familiar to most people so we understand why everyone doesn’t get the style. Thanks so much for the kind words though!
Hi filmcrux. The rocket that crosses the image from left to right with a tail, or the birds that fly, how did you do it? is it Leiapix ?
The birds are just 2D VFX assets composited in with After Effects, and those spaceships are composited in with Element 3D inside After Effects. If there’s enough demand, we might do an entire video on how we do our space shots!
Great Job! Images & motion are amazing! 🤯
Thank you! We’re probably going to make another soon with Sora once that’s released that’s going to blow people’s minds.
@FILMCRUX Is this for your 'resume/portfolio" for major studios? They would be looking for you guys. 👍
@@GetAClueMarketingShow Thank you! We’re going to make feature films and television shows with or without studios. In fact, this is one of our properties that we used for this experiment, but we made this just to showcase the current state of what these AI tools could do at the time. Appreciate that by the way!
On a quest for storytelling excellence, VideoGPT becomes my secret weapon, subtly refining my videos and imbuing them with a sense of professionalism.
There are so many game-changing new tools for filmmakers coming out, this is literally the biggest revolution in filmmaking since the invention of cameras themselves.
great work, friendly thought, I think the voice is too familiar, doesn't have the same effect as the video, maybe someone with a deeper voice, like you said close your eyes and listen to the voice like listening to the sound
It’s familiar now, but it wasn’t when it was initially made. We’ve been using Eleven Labs since day one, and now it’s become insanely popular. Haha. We might do another one in the future to show people what can be done now since things have evolved so much. Glad you liked the video!
Wow you can create without imagination!
If you think you can create this without imagination, give it your best shot. Haha.
@@FILMCRUX ahaha, yes I insist that your "feeling lucky" button is just this. No imagination, generic art, things that will ruin your real talent. Go and draw it. Think it. Model it, texture, rig, animate, post and I can see that you are good. Otherwise you are just some wierdos with Ai.
@@Sma-v4y The only thing unimaginative is the inability to use new tools imaginatively.
@@FILMCRUX the new "tools" stealing other designers work. haha.
@@Sma-v4y We don’t steal. This is all original. These AI tools don’t steal either. You seem like you have no idea how any of this works. Haha.
A star died today! Do you want appreciation and recognition for what? Something sugary to shake your tail!
Not sure what you’re talking about there champ.
damn - very detailing
Hope you like it!
Great work. I'm curious about how you guys did the animated parts of the static images...
Thank you! Here’s what we wrote to another commenter asking about that:
A few ways. One was that we used LeiaPix to add 3D motion to still images. Then we also used After Effects for compositing. This allowed us to drop 2D VFX assets like the dinosaur or fog right into the shots. Then finally we used Element 3D inside After Effects to animate 3D objects like the spaceship using keyframes. Those were the three main techniques. If you want to see more in depth of how we animate our space scenes, you can check out this tutorial here. Hope it helps!

Funny thing with all these Ai buzz is.. someone'd just asume you go type some prompt and boom.. u a badass... listening to this guy i can tell he is a long practicing visual artist before now... just added the ai images to his workflow
Appreciate it. That’s actually true. People are typically surprised when they find out how much work went into making something like this.
AI is nonsense. It's more or less a fancy search engine. Good for environment background art, or concept art only.
@@artstation707 Your comment is nonsense. It’s not a search engine at all. That’s not how it works. And if that’s all you can imagine it being used for, that says more about your lack of imagination than the tools themselves.
@@FILMCRUX Well, you know, I prefer to keep my imagination private, or at least not give my ideas away to those undeserving of them, unless of course they're willing to offer sufficient compensation.
AI is pure stupidity. I sat at my computer for hours trying to get an AI art engine to draw what I asked it to. Although drawing hands is not my strong suit, I'd do a much better job; It is easier to sit down and draw the image myself.
@@artstation707 If that statement is any indication of your level of ideas, you’re unlikely to be compensated very well for them. It sounds like you’re just really bad at using the tools. We’ve seen young children use them with incredible success, so if you’re struggling that much with them, they may just not be for you.
Loved this, but I think Hedes would have been a better voice for this, I love eleven labs but Adam is probably the most unrealistic sounding of them all.
Thank you! We used Adam because he fits the retro TV sci-fi aesthetic we were going for, but it’s not an aesthetic everyone is familiar with so we totally understand. Eleven Labs is amazing though. You’re absolutely right.
I absolutely love your stuff though. I have both of your Singularity sound packages and I even managed to squeeze a few of them into my last video. And tbh people probably think the sounds are part of the game but they aren't @@FILMCRUX

It's genuinely terrifying how companies will just replace vfx artists for this technology.
I think its pretty cool, VFX artist didn't used to exist, to think they would last forever would be foolish. Very few jobs stand the test of time.
@@Pharaohjudah Very stupid logic. AI is trained on other’s work. The only reason it looks good is because it takes other people’s stuff.
@@tright6 Humans learn from looking at the work of other people too. Did you learn how to do VFX without ever seeing a single VFX shot in a movie or show?
If you can just be replaced with this, then you weren’t very valuable to begin with. If you have vision, and skills that are not easily replaceable by a computer, then you’re in no danger of losing out on money. In fact, these tools should help you make more money than ever before.
@@FILMCRUX Yeah no, those are two different things. One is a person choosing what they like and inspiring themselves off of that, AI is an algorithm designed to associate keywords and find patterns, which is why most AI generated artwork generally follows what's most popular unless the prompts are messed with.
insane wooooorkkkk !!!
Thank you so much!!!
Road to hell is paved with good intentions
So is the road to heaven.
difference is there is no depth in your answer.@@FILMCRUX
One of the very few times, where the title is not clickbait. This is trully insane. Could you please create a video where you explain how you give motion to these pictures, how you generate them in Midjourney etc etc? Would really help us
Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you to say. We’ll probably make another video where we go into detail on our prompts and some of the other motion effects in the video, as well as a few other things, but if you have any specific things you want to know in the meantime, let us know and we’ll tell you how it was done!
Bruh I'd love to learn more, if y'all dropped a paid tutorial I'd cop for sure@@FILMCRUX
@@FILMCRUX Biggest thing, I think, would be to know how you created the motion for the starfighters in various scenes, such as at the :40 second mark in the trailer or the :53 second mark here on the "How We Made This" video. You created a great sense of speed, and that's the main thing I'd personally be interested in learning how you did it.
Also, is there a specific sound library you used for the sound design? You did an excellent job.
@@craiglearner9853 Thank you so much! We’re actually going to do an entire tutorial in the future on how we do our space scenes, especially for animating and compositing spaceships, but basically we use Element 3D inside Adobe After Effects.
We just import the 3D model spaceship into Element 3D, animate its movement with keyframes, and make sure to turn on motion blur. We also animate the camera movement separately to add that additional since of kinetic energy and velocity. We then add any other elements into the shot, typically from our SOL Space VFX Packs, and just select the 3D layer on them to make them 3D. We then just move them around in the scene where we want them.
As for the sound design library we use, we use a few sounds we’ve collected from random places, but the majority of all our sound design comes from our SINGULARITY Cinematic Sound Effects Library which you can get here:
www.filmcrux.com/store/p/singularity
Hope that helps, but if you have any other questions, let us know, and make something amazing with it!
@@FILMCRUX - Hey! Thanks so much. I appreciate your reply. I was wondering if you did some of the motion with keyframes.
Not to get overly technical, but when you have a moment, could you also say whether you used keyframes to make the starfighters go from close up to long shots within the same scene?
In the meantime, I'm definitely looking forward to your full tutorial on animating and compositing spaceships!
wao its more complex i am create in lamen5 but its not completed ... good job
Not sure exactly what you mean but thank you for the kind words!
that's insane!
Much appreciated my friend!
Hi, great trailer. Congratulations:) Can you explain how you made the music and soundeffects? Did you use AI for that?
Thank you so much! We actually didn’t use AI for the music or sound effects. The music was an original piece created from scratch. We create music scores professionally, and we also sell packs of them in the FILM CRUX Store called OCTIVE Cinematic Music Libraries.
The sound effects we created ourselves as well. They’re from our SINGULARITY and IMMERSION packs also in the FILM CRUX Store, and some of the sound effects are also from Splice. You can get all our stuff here though:

@@FILMCRUX bless your heart.
Amazing. I subscribed! Please make a instruction video for the motion effects like spaceship movements, explosion and etc. What kind of VFX did you use and how can we do like yours?

th-cam.com/video/pWi8UMpcLtM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CxoZ0b6TOClJoSmh
The rest of the VFX assets are just animating with Element 3D inside After Effects with 3D models from places like CGTrader, and simple compositing with VFX assets like the ones from ActionVFX. They all have great tutorials, but we may do some of our own videos on those subjects in the future!

when you say composited... do you mean in this case, you imported them and added as a layer or on an exisiting shot in Capcut? or did you use another program/software to do this? @@FILMCRUX

Very cool, but I dont like the Adam Voice, I have heard it already too much😂
Appreciate it. We think it’s a perfect fit for the retro sci-fi vibe we were going for, but we understand that not everyone gets that aesthetic.
here's a real challenge. make a episode or movie.
We will. This is just a challenge to see what we can create using AI for every shot, to test what can be done with the current state of AI. We have full TV series and movies planned though.
@@FILMCRUX nice! The world needs a new space western. It's been a while since one was made.
@@johnny_hammer We’re big fans of space westerns! Although, this is a bit more space opera than space western, but it has elements from both subgenres.
Woah, great production! ;'o
However, I was surprised you chose that voice! ;'DD Hahaha!
It sounds so wrong for any serious trailer ;'DDD
For a comedy trailer about middle-aged dudes, yes, that voice works.
Glad you liked the video. We knew most people would not get the retro sci-fi TV aesthetic. We’re not surprised at all, but it’s just what we were going for.
So how long it took & how expansive? Also when an AI will be able to do all of this at once?...
It took a few weeks with a single person and no budget. AI can already do far better than this because it’s evolved so much in a short time. Within the year we’re likely to see full AI films using a single tool like Runway.

so the music theme was not AI generated but you simply found a royalty-free music that fit your needs or created it yourself by traditional means.....is that correct?
Made it themselves but probably should've made it AI as well
The music is not AI-generated. We created it ourselves to fit our needs, but it easily could have been AI generated with something like Suno or Beathoven. Hope that helps!
Great video! I was wondering how much of the effects/moves were done in graphics/compositing programmes ? There are parallaxes in the movements that wouldn’t be achieved with the key framing you demonstrate. Are you using layers of video and moving them for that or doing this in a 3D programme ? Are all the explosive ‘clouds’ jet trails stock assets or generated. These are not ai right ?
Did you do any movement with ai generated video? I’ve found it difficult to do that with existing tools.
Many thanks
Thank you so much!! Things like the explosions, spaceship contrails, dinosaur, creature wings, etc, are all VFX assets composited into the scenes. For the parallaxing, I used two main techniques. The first is a web-based AI program called LeiaPix which creates parallax movement in 2D images. The second technique which I didn’t cover here, was that I would generate and image in Midjourney of a subject in an environment. I did this for example with the shot of the woman watching the spaceship fly up and explode. Then I upscaled the image in PixelCut. Then I brought the upscaled image back into Pixel Cut and used the Background Remover to get a new image of just the character on a transparent background. Then I brought the original upscaled image into Photoshop, selected around the character, and used generative fill to remove the character from the scene. I now had two upscaled shots, one of just the character, and one of just the background. This let me put the character on a layer above the background, and keyframe animate movement of each layer separately to create the parallax effect. Hope that helps, but let me know if you have any more questions!

Hello @@FILMCRUX I really appreciate the feedback. I’m less experienced with compositing and after effects but will def try these parallax. Is ae your recommended approach to fx if I was to explore that route ?
Many thanks again
@@liz4ward Definitely After Effects! It’s what we use for all our VFX. We actually learned from Andrew Kramer and his stuff at Video Copilot, so that’s a great place to start, and we’ll do more videos on VFX as well since a lot of people have been asking us questions about that. You’re probably also going to want to get Element 3D inside After Effects. That’s what we use for basically all our 3D VFX.
