From Prompt to Premiere: The Future of Filmmaking 🎬

Published 10 months agoΒ β€’Β 1 min read

β€œThis is the last frontier of media - billions of people making high-end content.”

- Chris Valenzuela, Runway CEO

Hello Reader,

Prompt engineers are movie producers now.

Producing video content used to require access to equipment, and talent, and funding. Not anymore.

Now, you don't need a movie studio, or a graphics budget, or any skills. Just a good idea (and good taste!) can make a good movie, with a little prompting.

Big ideas can become high quality videos with only a text prompt.

πŸͺ„ Abracadabra

The magic word 'abracadabra' is from ancient Hebrew, and it literally means 'I create what I speak.'

Imagine telling our ancestors, from centuries past, what you can make with just your words, and modern technology.

If you'd like to chat with Benjamin Franklin, for example, you can use this ​Custom GPT to describe what text-to-video does. His responses to learning about modern technology are always enlightening, and remind me of the wonders of our common day.

If you'd like to see some examples of the latest video models, watch my short video below:

πŸ” β€œExperts have many advantages. They are better able to see through LLM errors and hallucinations; they are better judges of AI output in their area of interest; they are better able to instruct the AI to do the required job; and they have the opportunity for more trial and error. That lets them unlock the latent expertise within LLMs in ways that others could not.” – Ethan Mollick Hello Reader, At last night's Christchurch AI Meetup, we demonstrated how the barrier is collapsing between...
