Spanish filmmaker Pako Torres, preparing for his second legend facility, began his career in the East-Digital era, a quarter century ago. “I have seen all this-Film, Betakam, Analog, Digital and then,” he says in the recently concluded 23rd Pune International Film Festival (PIFF).

He is now thicker of Artificial Intelligence (AI) action and takes the most advantage of freedom and flexibility that provides generative tools. “In the world in the moment of fluid, AI gives us the power to work very fast. We can make too much in a very short time, ”says Sevile-based directors. Prior to his session on ‘Using Cinema using AI using AI’ in PIFF, Torres made a 90 -second film in just four hours, working with AI generic tools alone in his hotel room.

In his point, he presented a performance as to how he made the film, started with an indication for chat and then appointed Midjorney to improve the image, to convert the image into a video to convert the image into a video, to enhance the visuals and eleven labs for the lip sink. He used a short film – under the title Tea and RajAbout two grandmothers sit on a bench in Pune and reveal each other a long-pressed mysteries-to exclude the strength, boundaries and dynamics of–aI. Although the background was less than the correct, it was no less than a mini Marvel, given the film out of a hat without any time. “The dialogue could have been in the local language if I had a few more hours at my disposal,” says Torres. He says: “There is no way to wish AI to go away. Things are moving faster than ever. Do not be afraid. Surf the wave. We need to stay on the driver’s seat instead of allowing AI to the AI ​​fully handled the material. ,

AI vs human brain

The body of the torres work includes 300-plus advertisements made worldwide, a story feature (Magic of hope2011) and many short films including award winners Bangaji Khadik (2012), about a boy and a girl who play with a khadkhar to take out the noise of bombing.

While Torres has used AI on a large scale in its film production in the last three years, he attacks an indispensable note of caution. “Make sure AI is only a co-pilot. We should remain a pilot. Our active participation is important because no AI can compare the human brain yet, ”he explains.

This is important, he claims that “you have a team services for better and fast working ability”. He says, especially mentioning India’s congenital potential in animation and visual effects, that with the prudent and moral use of AI, “You can produce three movies or TV shows, only one-and-a-half years instead of one”.

Torace’s award -winning short film ‘The Rattle of Bengaji’ is still.

At the end of Torace’s two -hour talk, Serbian cinematographer Jordeze Stazyljkovic, who shot last year’s Telugu blockbuster Kalki 2898 AD. And served in PIFF’s Marathi film competition jury, wonder whether AI can give an over-the-shielder shot of one of the old women in the film which is rusting in his hotel room. This is not possible right now, Torres accepted. But he was in a hurry to add that AI may soon be able to repeat camera placements and movements completely.

His comment reflected misunderstandings and doubts that technicians are currently struggling worldwide. Another PIFF jury member, Indian filmmaker Anirudha Roy Chaudhary, directed by Credit pink (2016) and Lost (2022), claims that AI can be an assistant, a accessory. “It can never change the human brain,” they say.

Torres do not disagree. “AI is an associate and not a threat if you know how to use it creatively and imaginatively.” However, he understands why people in the industry are worried. When a new technology disrupts the routine, the misunderstanding is unavoidable. But we should recognize that by constant innovation and experiment, we only expand the prospects of the medium.

Despite the unavoidable doubts expressed by film professionals and festivals, the role of AI as a support tool for filmmaking is being accepted rapidly, if only at this point of its development. “I hope the festivals were built with AI as soon as possible,” says Torres.
