Artificial intelligence (AI) generative tools such as text-to-video and text-to-3D are about to crash headfirst into the creative industries. While many are skeptical that these will overtake the likes of Disney or Pixar anytime soon, there are already examples of AI tools enabling independent creatives to produce astoundingly high-quality animations at a fraction of the time and cost of blockbuster studios.
Take the YouTube show The Corridor Crew, for example. The channel, which is run by an independent production studio that specializes in visual effects, released a video in February titled ‘Did we just change animation forever’ that revealed an animation technique for turning live action into animation.
