They've been playing around with it, like how they did The Wizard of Oz at the sphere in Vegas. The original aspect ratio was legit but everything in the periphery is heavy AI.
That Wizard of Oz movie is really weird. They put the original movie into a tiny area and generated whole load of surroundings with AI.
The original framing and artistic intent get totally lost, it's a novel idea but a shit product as a movie. "Be Kind Rewind" watched it live and made a lengthy review about that slopfest on YouTube.
Great video, this and the recent DLSS 5 sutff.... Ugh, as a creative person it fills me with sadness and despair.
In both cases it's a grotesque display of disrespect for the artform, for all the creatives that made posible the originals.... All packaged as primo slop for people to mindlessly consume.
Truly shows how this technology degrades art and turns it into mere spectacle... soon everything will be slopified. To think of the implications sends a shiver down my spine.
I'll have to give it a watch, thanks!
They claimed it was all AI but I've heard that's actually not true and many people had to work on each frame because AI simply didn't do that good of a job.
Lmao
I would go iff they did it to dark side and they had really weird cuttlefish/munchkin erotica in the expanded frames
That is ... very specific.
They also edited a bunch of the stuff within the original shots. I know someone who worked on it and they were showing me some of the artifacting; the short extras in particular have had their faces absolutely destroyed, and it even added a few that weren't there before. It's very funny to me that they upscaled it for the Sphere, but you are ABSOLUTELY NOT meant to look directly at anything that got inserted.
