Google has succeeded in saving black and white movies taken 86 years ago on large screens, the world’s best resolution. It was not only artificial intelligence (AI) that it seemed unimaginable.
Google was a hot topic at Spear, which was released in 1939 at ‘Google Cloud Next’, which opened in Las Vegas, USA on August 8 (local time).
Spear, which has develop into a specialty of the town since its opening in 2023, has an immersive curved surface of 160,000 pieces (roughly 1,4864m²) in 17,600 seats. Here, quite a couple of videos are crushed. Existing theaters have never been screened except for top of the range shots according to the dimensions of the screen.
Due to this fact, when the plan was to screen Oz’s wizard here, expectations and concerns were mixed inside Google. Steve Hicksson, head of Google Deep Mind, explained the project as “very, very, very large and really difficult.” He said, “On the screen here, one among the scarecrow is a ten -pixel,” he said. “It’s an enormous technical challenge.”
In an effort to screen a movie on such an enormous screen, I needed to fill the unique rough image and adjust the 16K LED to fill the scene that was not on the large screen.
Google and partners mobilized the video model ‘Bio’, the image model ‘Imaejin’ and ‘Geminai’. Through this, the small celluloid frame taken in 1939 was converted into an ultra -high definition image.
Subsequently, the AI ’Out Painting’ filled the gap of the video brought on by the camera cut and framing restrictions. And he included the characters and landscapes that weren’t in the unique. Through this, it was explained that it was possible to implement natural movements, directing, and detailed descriptions that were difficult to implement with existing CGI.
But the issue was lack of information. “There’s just one movie that may train this model,” said Ravi Lajani, executive director of Ravi Lajani. “But a few of these characters don’t appear often.”
Thus, Google collaborated with the unique Warner Bros., and picked up an enormous amount of supplementary materials comparable to shooting scripts, production illustrations, photos, set plans, and music. Through this, we trained specific details of production elements comparable to micro -adjustment, characters and environments, and camera focalers of certain scenes.
Because of this, the standard of the 102 -minute film has been dramatically improved. The freckles of Dorothy, now the essential character, are clearly revealed, and the dog Toto can appear in additional scenes.
Google also discussed with skilled filmmakers to find out motion, facial expressions and acting. Rosenthal, a producer of Oscar, participated within the project. “We reviewed a wide range of ways and talked so much,” Rosenthal said. “I noticed that it was really mandatory to make use of AI.” “AI has influenced greater than 90% of the film.”
“This project has greater than a brand new format by utilizing AI to expand its existing movies to a brand new format using AI.” There are such a lot of mountains to be technically over.
Lately, Hollywood has emerged as a significant issue attributable to AI, which has led to distrust and division of technology firms and producers. Nevertheless, this project is an excellent example of using AI by cooperating with existing producers and technology firms.
The wizard of the AI version of Oz, which was reborn, was first unveiled on the event. Sundar Pichai CEO, which was not originally scheduled, appeared on this stage. “This project is a faint light that enables AI to have the option to make it possible in the long run of media and entertainment,” he said. “Google will give the ability of AI to creators, filmmakers, musicians, YouTube creators and developers.”
The film can be officially screened in Spear from August 28. Jim Dolan Spear Entertainment’s chairman and CEO said he has awe for the innovation. “It can be a matter of religion, clearly a leap of religion,” he said in Spear’s wizard.
Meanwhile, Google announced two days later that it should start a brief film program ‘AI On Screen’ with Hollywood Media Producers.
Which means it should be free from the launch of the passive product and to commercialize and promote the total -scale AI. Oz’s wizard is a trailer.
