Unsure if it's just the way they prompted it / coded it, but the output is far too much a literal direct copy of the lyrics. The best music videos have a story arc on the theme of but often not litearlly the lyrics, and start with obscurity and reveal something (following all the literary/story mechanisms) Consider Amber Run - Found lyrics versus the video, and the story arc of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch…

Literal music videos are still fun and a valid creative direction, e.g., Vance Joy's "Riptide": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ_1HMAGb4k

> None of the music videos were great Glad they acknowledge this. Curious how much time in addition to tokens this costs. If you have to spend $25 and wait 45 minutes to get a basically unwatchable video, I'm not worried about indie film makers being replaced just yet...

I'm classically trained and I honestly can't really tell how these are worse than the human produced ones. They all look kinda the same to me.

In an interview, an adult actress was asked about the things she says during scenes. She said she describes what is happening literally at any moment.

This is what LLM models do.

Regular music videos (including the writing/recording) can easily go into 6 figures. I wonder what the $200,000 AI music videos looks like.

You don't need to spend $200k, because results can be bad for cheap.

Though we're finding the studios contracted to do this can bill $50k. I know several studios that previously billed clients six figures for ad campaigns (P&G, HBO, pharma, etc.) are now charging five figures and winning a lion share of the bids now.

Not sure why Wan is the focus of this article and Seedance is a footnote. Wan/LTX/open models are significantly behind Chinese closed source models. (And the Chinese have left the Western models in the dust.)

I wouldn't do anything production grade in Wan.

That’s not really the same thing.

Wow. These are horrible. Sort of refreshing. I thought video was better than this now, but I guess not.

Video can be good if you stick to a garden path of simple scenes with tons of examples in the training material and not a ton of motion between overlapping objects in a scene, and don't really care too much about specifics.

As soon as you want something very specific, or something novel, or anything with a lot of moving objects/people, it falls apart.

The thing about art is that literally everything is a "valid creative direction." But that doesnt make everything immune from derision.
