This delightful short puts the "art" in artificial intelligence.

The result when you blend the power of an AI image generatorwith a old woman of 98 years named Lillian with Harry Potter? The result is 'HAIRY POUTER is a short film with a shorter duration by Chris Carboni, a director who combines ever-more whimsical AI-generated images and commentary on the classic novel written by a funny nonagenarian.

"Lillian is my grandmother," says Chris. "She always has relationships with her with me, and I've had her reviewing for around 10 + years."

In the time that AI images generators first began to dominate the web around mid-2022, Chris saw the stars come together to develop a plan that would make the most of his hours of being a listener and help him explore the possibilities of this innovative technology. "I was plagued by questions concerning these machines, and I was looking for the opportunity to know something about them more," explains Chris. "At this moment I was speaking to my grandmother , who was studying 'Harry Potter' which I purchased to celebrate the occasion. It was a birthday present."

The film came together at warp speed by a crew that included "my grandmother as well as my wife and the composer and sound engineer which was all the team" And all the rest was (futuristic) history. With the power of AI remain to advance at an alarming rate We caught up with Chris Carboni to discuss the world of art and AI.

The image that you see in this video is amazing. What were you using to achieve this result?

Chris We then tried MidJourney during the release of the first version. The first thing we did was input Lillian's uncut words and then seeing what the program could come up with from just the quotations from the interview. We were awestruck by the art style it had come up with in just several cycles of making new pictures. Therefore, I wrote down the hallmarks of the art direction it took on the basis of this photograph it created.

The first picture we were shown to be Ron who was wafting his hair. The man looked gorgeous. The look was shoulders raised and clearly did not have a shirt. It was just like this kind of person who is a beach-god. When we came across an photo of Harry and Ron together The camera took them almost embracing one another and we thought, "Oh, this is amazing."

It was left to the AI to develop the intriguing theories, and whenever we found an interesting one, we instructed it to follow that pattern to make sure it will be consistently entertaining and just simple to follow.

How did it feel applying AI to this very human tale?

Chris Chris Chris Chris made this video because I was an a bit of fear regarding AI]. It was an absolute pleasure to work on this particular project. It was a good use case of the project because using AI was essential to the story overall.

This is what made it exciting and fascinating and unique. It was kind of about the amusing but awkward interaction between AI and human beings. It wasn't a case where we chose to not spend an amount on illustration and decided to make use of AI instead. The story was one in which AI was the foundation of our storytelling.

What do you think about AI as a component in the creative process?

Chris Chris Chris Chris: There's certainly something attractive to it, but it's gotten obviously so much more complicated because these generators are so ubiquitous. They've become fully embraced, and expanded into the diverse applications. The subject has become more difficult as I believe it once was according to my personal knowledge and opinions about the subject.

The idea is that everyone involved in the creative industry is required to consider the consequences of this change for their work, and also be ready to be aware that the landscape could change. Along with this change, are opportunities to make extraordinary and creative things. But also the automation of much of the craft that we creatives love. This makes me sad, if I'm sincere. I am worried about the possibility of art being devalued and commodified further than it is already.

Do you plan to utilize this type of technology to perform your job in the near future?

Chris Chris I'm a big enthusiast of employing AI to enhance my emails as well as to be a personal assistant that can answer questions, explaining complicated ideas and perform repetitive tasks. For creative tasks but, I'm still not completely comprehend. It isn't my intention to utilize it in a way to substitute for the human artist in my company. The results will not be quite as impressive.

Much of that which makes our work great comes from collaborating with our colleagues. An entire project from start to finish with AI relies on the inputs that come from the brain. Certain situations may work, but generally, the projects benefit from a team of professionals that work in tandem, each one bringing their own unique expertise and unique insights to the mixture.

One of the most interesting uses I've come up with are to generate initial ideas, and kicking off the process of creating. It could be for raising funds for an idea or to showcase ideas for starting something off of the foundation. However, for animation it is necessary to have the control of the particulars of the scene in terms of production and artistic reasons. That level of control is likely to come, however it's still not yet there.
