Use distance fields.

The problem isn't just approximate positioning of lines, but radically different artistic styles and amounts of shading and detail. Is someone's hair made of one line, five lines, or 100 lines? Does a face have 3 simple lines or 50 little lines that give a sense of skin texture? Distance fields would work great for font outlines, but not for translating movie frames.

Throw out whole frames that have a large enough Wasserstein distance?

This looks like something that could easily come from StableDiffusion. The fact that every frame can be different is a key enabler to using AI because temporal coherence is still an issue there (albeit there are tools to alleviate this some). As a bonus, the super simple monochrome sketch style will be very fast to generate.

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I highly recommend the "Our RoboCop Remake". Incidentally, I've also just learned that vimeo apparently demands thousands from you if you have a hosted video that becomes too popular.

I seem to recall years ago that 4chan's tv board, and possible the reddit equivalent, was working on a redraw of the the infamous "Plane Scene" from The Dark Knight rises. I wonder what ever happened with that.

Amazing Idea, but a few problems 1. Anytime you give someone freedom to create (anything), you will end up with a penis drawing. Just scrolling through quickly I see that Frame #13122 delivers on this law of the universe. After watching the movie preview, I only watched the first 45-50 seconds and counted about 4-5 drawings of the bodypart and 6-8 additional frames that just contain the word "penis". I wouldn't be su…

These are not problems.

Derivation from AI vs derivation from 100000 humans can be interpreted many ways but a legal system.

> Are there any YC startups specializing in detecting penises?

I’m sure Reddit had developed, tested, and perfected this technology.

I mean what the hell else have they been working on for the past 18 years?

I don't even know if external links to Twitter work any longer, but Elon claims that Twitter has a "dick pic bot": (maybe joking?) https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1678143935976464384?s=20

I love this idea!!! So sad I missed the part where I could have drawn a frame myself.

I just wish that others didn't abuse the site. Unfortunately I saw a swastika in the playback.

> There really should be a minimum "ink" or "coverage" amount before determining that a frame has been given a proper amount of effort in the drawing. I know what you mean and I agree, but your example of measuring ink usage reminds me of measuring a programmer's productivity by counting the number of lines of code they've written. What would be the equivalent of deleting lines, though?

While lines of code is not a good way to measure productivity, it is not useless. I’ve used it to uncover situations where people were struggling with work. It’s a heuristic which can be used to draw your attention to areas which could be problematic.

Ink coverage could be used the same way here.
