James Cameron appeared on the podcast “Boz to the Future” and said that the future of successful cinema reproaches on the possibility of “reducing the cost of (VFX) in two”, and the winner of Oscar tries to understand how AI could help reduce costs without replacing the crew members. Cameron announced in September 2024 that he joined the AI stability board of directors, the company behind the stable broadcast of the text model in the image.
“In the past, I would have founded a business to understand it. I learned that it may not have been the best way to do so. So I thought, well, I will join the board of directors of a good competitive company that has a good assessment,” said Cameron about joining the board of directors. “My goal was not necessarily to make a shitty silver stack. The goal was to understand space, to understand what the spirit of the developers targeted? What is their development cycle? How many resources you have to throw it to create a new model that makes something specially designed, and my goal was to try to integrate it into integrating it into a VFX workflow. ”
“And it’s not just hypothetical,” he continued. “If we want to continue to see the types of films that I have always loved and that I like to do and that I will see -” Dune “, movies of a part: the second part”, or one of my films or big effects in half. NOW. Faster and your flow cycle is faster, and artists can move on and do other cool things and other nice things, right?
Cameron has long expressed doubt when it comes to taking charge of Hollywood jobs, and he stressed that the role of AI in industry should be to help employees manage their workload and not replace them. In an interview with CTV News last year, the director expressed his doubt that the robots AI could write “a good story” and eliminate the writers.
According to Cameron: “I do not personally believe that a disembodied spirit that regurgled what other embodied spirits have said – about the life they had, on love, to lie, to fear, to mortality – and to put everything in a salad of words and then to regurgitate it … I never believe that it is not something that will make an audience. scenario. “”
“Let’s wait 20 years, and if an AI wins an Oscar for the best scenario, I think we have to take them seriously,” he added at the time.
In his latest interview, Cameron has also said that AI generative users should be discouraged from the food of invites in software such as “in James Cameron’s style” or “in the style of Zack Snyder”, noting that these types of tears “make me a little shipwreck”. Social media had a day in the field earlier this month with images created by AI which were in the style of Ghibli studio films.
“I aspire to be in the style of Ridley Scott, in the style of Stanley Kubrick. It is my text prompt that leads to my head as a filmmaker,” said Cameron. “In the style of George Miller: slow, bass, transporting the ass, going up in a tight close up. Yes, I want to do it. I know my influences. Everyone knows their influences. “
Cameron remains in post-production in the next “Avatar” suite, “Fire & Ash”, which should be released on December 19 from Disney and the 20th century studios. Listen to his full interview on the podcast “Boz to the Future” here.
