Tweet of the Day, The Doom That Came To Disney edition.

Alternate title: And Nothing Of Value Was Lost. I picked the first one because I don’t quite agree with the second one, but I respect that my readers will have a different opinion.

Via @Strangeland_Elf. The jobs that they’ll be killing with this one will be post-production work, which is one of those things that nobody thinks about. Right up to the moment when you encounter a movie whose sound mixing, video and audio effects, and color adjustments were done with literally nobody thinking about it. But it’ll be cheap! Solid B- work, too.

Well, C+, but grading is a value judgement, hey?

Anyway. When you notice in 2029 or so that every animated movie in a particular year feels like they were all made at the same studio, by the same staff, on the same weekend, this is gonna be why. On the bright side, at least the indies will have eyeballs. Maybe not any cash, but at least there’ll be eyeballs.

  1. Congratulations, Devil Mouse.
    You’ve just made M$ closing down Tango Gameworks not be the tone deaf stupid beancounter executive decision of the year.

    Noting the obvious, but post production is the last thing you’d want to automate. It’s all subjective judgement and experience.

  2. Do you think they’re still pissed about Ryan Reynolds and High Hackman cutting out all the SJW crap in post?

    Because spitefully slicing off your own nose seems to be the woke MO.

  3. “grading is a value judgement,”

    Sure C+ now might be the current top end for AI quality, but once every human is removed from the equation, it’ll be A+ across the board, because what are you then comparing to? Ancient History made two whole years ago?
    Only NOW matters.
    duh.
