I expanded my last post into a new article on Medium, quite different that all my other writings on Medium, this one is a How-to to generate stylistically similar images in a consistent way utilizing LLMs and GenAI Text to image systems.

I'd love to see what you end up making with it!

Art Directing GenAI jaredzimmerman.medium.com/narr

Thinking this morning (as usual) about #sciencefiction in #film and #television. One thing that detracts from believability when depicting science and tech: way too much art direction. Here are images from an Avengers movie and HBO's "Westworld." Compare to the third photo, from Fermilab. I get the impulse to design and light for drama. But who could work in the dark like that? If anyone ever *does* invent a time machine or a warp drive, it's probably gonna be in a mundane, florescent-lit room with a crummy color palette.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 12: the #AcademyAwardForBestPicture on #OscarNight is…

not the #film that won the first grand price at that first #Oscar night in 1929, F.W. Murnau's Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927).

Sunrise was bestowed the award for “Best Unique and Artistic Picture”. The first and last time that ever happened; in 1930, the price was scrapped and replaced by “Outstanding Picture” aka “Best Picture”. And that one went to the much more American-patriotic Wings.

Also rightfully awarded in '29 were Janet Gaynor (Best Actress in a Leading Role), Charles Rosher and Karl Struss (Best #Cinematography), while Rochus Gliese was nominated for Best #ArtDirection.

Sunrise is a fantastic tour de force, and it winning that award should make you feel hopeful for the future of cinema. Instead, the current list of nominees and winners is, at least to me, a checklist of what to avoid for ever.

#introduction

Hi, mastodon.design! FINALLY migrated from mastodon.social/@lanika to the most mastodontic #Design community!

I'm a senior #designer from Rio living elsewhere, and I have worked a bit on everything: #advertising (#artdirection), #graphicdesign, #webdesign, #marketing, #gamedesign, #socialmedia, #packaging and whatever the next thing that needs design is, I will probably do that too.

Previous XP includes agencies, movie companies, educational television and lots of freelancing

I’m Gen, senior art director in the games industry. I’m a jack-of-all-trades at heart and by trade, having worked as pixel artist, character modeler, ui artist, lead artist etc… aand I’ve been doing this since 2003 :)

I love discussing and sharing advice and quips about #gamedev, #artdirection and #leadership, & I’ve also started a Twitch channel @bl00dberri where I give short lectures about AD.

I’d love to connect with curious people in the gaming and digital art spaces, and more!
