Mnemonade. The AI Film that won the Culver Cup As a writer and video editor, I feel that #AIfilmmaking won’t enter the mainstream until we have emotional dialogue scenes with expressive characters. So I challenged myself with this film to create the most compelling and emotional dialogue scene that anyone has ever seen in an #AIfilm (no big deal 🤷‍♂️). Whether I did or not is subjective. The dialogue scene I’m referring to is toward the end of the film, but I implore you to watch from the beginning. As for the inspiration for the film… my grandmother Judy passed away about one year ago at the age of 93, and she had dementia. Her husband, my grandfather, passed away in the 1980s. I visited her last year in the assisted living home she was in and watched as she experienced vivid hallucinations from her past. I thought that maybe with #AI I could capture a little bit of what it was like for her in these flashback scenes. Guillermo del Toro, recently claimed that AI-generated films couldn't evoke deep emotions by stating, "Are they going to make them cry because they lost a son? A mother? F*** no!" Several people came up to me after my film was shown and told me how they lost a loved one to dementia and that the film made them cry. I’m a fan of Guillermo’s work, but the reason why he got it wrong with that quote is because he just hasn’t seen it yet. In the past 2 years of AI video’s infancy, the tech has outshined the story. That’s on me, and creators like myself, who have come from traditional filmmaking backgrounds and embraced AI, but have not used it to its full potential. As early as we may be, it’s our job to create content where the story speaks louder than the tools used to tell it. My hope is that Guillermo and others see work like this and realize its potential. The filmmaking pipeline in #Hollywood is too small for today’s technology, and it’s about to get a lot bigger. Companies and platforms are stepping up to provide the tools needed to lift new voices and stories up out of obscurity. If you want to be one of those voices, the biggest thing you can do to help yourself is to learn the fundamentals of filmmaking. AI tools change frequently, but the fundamentals of #storytelling do not. Social media feedback is not always the most constructive, but there are a lot of people in this community who will help and I hope to be one of them. So get started and have fun. To quote Rob Schneider from the movie Waterboy, “You can do it!” 🫶

This is Plastic. Made with Veo3. This might be the most fun I've ever had creating a video – and it's 100% because of Veo3. Forget fidelity and physics for a second. The real game-changer? Being able to generate dialogue right in the text prompt. What used to take two extra steps now happens instantly — and the quality? Unreal. I started with this simple concept of a plastic kid, but as I kept generating, the story got unexpectedly emotional. I found myself genuinely sympathizing with this character being left out – such a universal feeling. The story could've gone anywhere… What was I trying to say? What was the message? Eventually, I decided: I wanted the process to reflect the joy of creating. I was having too much fun to let it get dark, so I went full meta to pull myself out. The office scenes were pure magic. Those one-liners? First try, usable footage. I literally just typed the dialogue and Veo3 delivered. (Pro tip: text-to-video nails the lip sync, but image-to-video struggles with dialogue – had to use Pixverse for that final conversation scene to keep character consistency.) I was in full stream-of-consciousness mode for the office stuff, not sweating the details. You can tell because nothing in the background matches 😅 For high-stakes work like what we do at Promise (where we're aiming for theatrical release), every detail matters. But for a weekend passion project? This speed + quality combo is unreal. Imagine using this for pre-viz on bigger projects! Just warning – clients might fall in love with the rough cut 😂. You might accidentally make something too good to throw away. Massive respect to the Veo3 team at Google DeepMind Thanks for making tools that help us tell stories — even the ridiculous ones. @google #veo3 #AIfilmmaking #veo #AIfilm
