AI Sitcoms to Lil Yachty

Creator Spotlight

Dave Clark has developed several intriguing AI projects. His latest, "Canceled Sitcom From The 1050’s," utilizes Udio for music, MidJourney for image creation, and Runway ML for motion. The narrative revolves around an adopted robot named Max, who grapples with fitting into his new idealistic family in a 1950s Indiana suburb.

Look past the glitches that appear in many AI film projects and focus on what is really working. The latest AI tools, even in their earliest stages, are enabling single-person teams to take a story idea to output faster than ever before. As these tools become more sophisticated, they will not only allow current creative teams to flourish but also enable newcomers, who may not have had access to traditional filmmaking tools and time, to join in the creative process.

Clark's short film is enjoyable and delves into a black and white aesthetic, a style that many AI projects have yet to explore. It's exciting to witness teams harnessing the power of these new tools.

Tool Spotlight

Viggle AI

Viggle is an AI video generator. Powered by JST-1, the first video-3D foundation model with a genuine understanding of physics, Viggle is on a mission to achieve controllable video generation, starting with character development.

• text-to-image model

• character consistency (particularly facial features)

• video generation speed video quality motion variety

This tool is primarily enjoyable for creating Lil Yachty stage entrance videos featuring your dad or boss. Beyond meme creation, there's advanced technology at work. In the near future, copying and applying movement data from one video to another will be straightforward. With more precise tools, this could be groundbreaking for solo creators and animation teams in filmmaking.

If Viggle can maintain their technological innovation and stay ahead of other motion-style transfer AI being released, they could become a fun tool for hundreds of millions and a professional tool for millions more. We hope the Lil Yachty team enjoys the memes as much as we have.

Using Creative AI Tools

We experimented with current AI tools to create our own music video and had a great time doing it. The tools we used include Mid Journey for image creation, Udio for music creation, Claude for lyrics, Runway ML for motion, and Adobe Premier for editing.

What we learned is that it takes time to prompt and clean up everything you are creating. The real work lies in crafting a killer edit. Nevertheless, the source material we wanted was just a prompt away, which definitely boosted our creative confidence.
