A famous overseas connected TV company announced that it could broadcast the primary artificial intelligence (AI) generated romantic comedy. At the identical time, a one-minute trailer was also released, but reactions were mixed.
Tom’s Hardware reported on the thirteenth (local time) that Web TV company TCL released the trailer for ‘Next Stop Paris’ as its first original series.
The corporate gained popularity as a streaming service that gives a whole bunch of channels and content to smart TVs based on Google’s TV OS. The film will probably be streamed free of charge this summer through an app called TCLtv+.
In keeping with what was revealed through the trailer, this movie is a typical romance a couple of man and a lady who fall in love on a train to Paris. Scenes equivalent to amusement parks, boats, and clock tower dances that appear to have been seen before in romance novels appear.
In fact, human actors don’t appear in any respect. The video creation AI ‘Runway’ and the image creation AI ‘Midjourny’ were mainly used, and a separate Polish technical team was brought in to resolve crucial consistency issues. Nonetheless, it is usually observed that the fundamental character’s appearance changes barely from cut to chop.
As well as, all non-visual features, equivalent to script writing, voice recording, and background music, were handled by humans.
Chris Regina, a veteran of original TV production who held senior positions at NBCUniversal and Netflix, was accountable for this project as TCL’s Chief Content Officer. He said, “It’s the primary time within the industry to provide a full-length drama with generative AI,” and “the big curiosity about AI is a marketing differentiator.”
He also said that the published will probably be the length of a TV episode moderately than a feature-length film. It was also said that the trailer could be very different from the ultimate broadcast.
“As with all film and TV productions, the work isn’t done until it airs,” he said. “But we desired to get people excited by announcing our AI studio and our foray into original programming.”
Reactions to this are mixed. Usually, the mood is to indicate that the graphics are still awkward and inconsistent.
Nonetheless, as a consequence of rapid technological development, it’s now at a rather more natural level than before, and there’s an environment that it might change into even higher in the long run. Particularly, it was predicted that the impact can be significant if viewers designated a particular actor because the fundamental character and customised content was produced.
