Hello! My name is Jacobi. I made Eyecandy. I'm appreciating seeing suggestions. Is there anything you want me to try on the website? Anything I could improve?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This seems like a terrible future

2027, Netflix has regressed to an Amazon-like platform where each movie search yields a long list of movies "fulfilled by netflix" made by lkmmfffrrx movie store, with 100% positive feedback.

LKMMFFFRRX Movie Studios presents FOLGRISTCHI

【Long running times. Over 90 minutes】

【Many audio tracks. Choose cinematic or directors talking】

【Best movie for 2027】

【Vibrant colors make it lifelike】

I can't wait for the day I can make photo-realistic full length movies with spoken dialogue and different camera effects entirely using an AI-generation / AI-enhanced tool. I have a feeling those days are coming soon.

I don't mean to be flippant, and I wish you the best of luck in your creative endeavors, but I think the emergence of this sort of functionality will solidify the role of professional artists in our society. If you compare the work of art school freshmen with art school seniors, it's pretty apparent that using tools to physically create media is a pretty small part of what they learn.

And they've been drilled by experienced creative professionals full-time for four years. Many of the creative controls these generators abstract away are the most consequential, and they will never be more than an amalgam of what they've already seen. Smooth? Sure. Polished? Yes. Visually striking? Absolutely. Will every detail be considered, reconsidered, pored over, lightly massaged and then reconsidered by a team of people who've dedicated their professional lives to using images to elicit precisely crafted emotional responses in people? No.

That said, SyFy Originals and Hallmark Channel movies will probably operate much differently than they do now.

Most of them have descriptions (which I've enjoyed because I previously lumped all "weird camera tricks" together). But https://eycndy.com/frame-division seems to just show the home page over again.

Ha! Is it purposely recursive? The home page is laid out in a frame division. I think it's a joke.

:facepalm: of course. Thanks.

Love this site, how long did it take to build?

Would be cool to see clips of behind the scenes showing camera placement and set/crew

It's a visual technique library for the creative industry. Ad-folk, Directors, Cinematographers, Editors, and Creatives in general. It's a compilation (library) of all the best techniques categorized by type.

Love that idea. I'm starting to roll out pages dedicated to each shot (when you click on it) that go into detail about it. The crew, the story, and eventually BTS and 'how to's' on how to make it.
