I-AI Animation: Inkathi Entsha Ekudalweni Kwefilimu Emfishane

Ngabe iphrojekthi ye-AI yomenzi wefilimu ongeyena ochwepheshe igqame kanjani phakathi kwamafilimu amafushane ajwayelekile?

NgoFebhuwari 2023, uJim, umdidiyeli wezinhlelo embonini yemidlalo, waba ngumculi we-AI.

NgoDisemba 2024, ifilimu emfishane kaJim ye-AI ethi “The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot” yazuza Umklomelo Wegolide Ocwebileyo Ongcono Kakhulu kuma-Independent Shorts Awards.

Lona umkhosi wamafilimu amafushane wamazwe ngamazwe obalulekile emhlabeni wamafilimu ozimele, hhayi ikakhulukazi imisebenzi ye-AI, okwenza kube impumelelo enkulu kuJim. Uthe, "Kuyajabulisa ukuthi amajaji agxile endabeni uqobo, ashaye indiva ilebula le-AI."

"The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot" yaqedwa ngokuyinhloko nguJim yedwa. Ifilimu yemizuzu eyi-10 iqukethe izithombe ezingama-242, ethathe cishe izinyanga ezintathu ukwenziwa, futhi idinga okungenani amahora angama-200 okusebenza, isilinganiso samahora amabili ngosuku.

Phakathi nenqubo yokudala yezinsuku ezingu-90, uJim wazizwa sengathi usempini yobuhlakani ne-AI, ephusha imingcele futhi egwema izingqinamba zayo. Lapho ababukeli bethi, “I-AI isiqalile ukwenza opopayi,” uJim waphendula, “Ngabadali abashayela i-AI ukwenza opopayi.”

3 Izinyanga, 10 Amaminithi

I-“The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot” ifilimu yobugebengu e-noir, uhlobo olubalulekile esikhathini esedlule sase-Hollywood, enendaba esekelwe esikweni lamaShayina. Igama elithi "Indoda Ezacile Isibhamu I-Hotpot" livela eNingizimu-ntshonalanga yeChina, libhekisela ezindaweni zokudlela ezincane ezivulwa ebusuku kakhulu.

Umlingisi oyinhloko, u-Xu Xia, insizwa edla endaweni yokudayisa emgwaqweni ebusuku kakhulu. Ukuze akhokhele uyise ukwelashwa, wenza ukukhetha okuphambene nezimiso zokuziphatha kodwa ulondoloza umgomo wokuziphatha ongathintwa. Ekugcineni, uhileleka ebudloveni nasekubulaleni, ebanjwe ukudalelwa.

Kunokuba uyibize ngokuthi “i-AI opopayi,” kunembe kakhulu ukuthi “Indoda Ezacile Isibhamu I-Hotpot” kuwupopayi owenziwe kusetshenziswa amathuluzi e-AI.

I-AI ikhiqize okubonwayo, kuyilapho ezinye izici ezifana neskripthi, ukuhlela, ukwenza izwi, umculo, nemiphumela yomsindo kwenziwa mathupha. Umbhalo osezibukweni wengezwe ekukhiqizweni kwangemuva.

Mayelana nokubonwayo, uJim ulandela isitayela “sesizukulwane se-AI esihlanzekile”. I-“The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot” ayinawo amavidiyo abukhoma; incike ekuguquleni isithombe sibe yividiyo. Izithombe zenziwe iMidjourney, namavidiyo ngu-Keling, Pika, Jidream, PixVerse, kanye ne-Runway.

Isizukulwane se-AI asibikezeleki, kodwa ukuxoxa indaba ehambisanayo ne-AI kudinga ukuzinza. Kusukela ekwakhiweni komlingiswa, uJim ucabangele indlela yokugcina ukungaguquguquki komlingiswa.

UJim wayenezimiso ezimbili zokuklama umlingiswa. Okokuqala, ukubukeka okuphelele kufanele kube lula, kuchazwe ngamagama angukhiye ambalwa. Okwesibili, abalingiswa kufanele babe nezakhi ezihlukile, ngakho-ke ngisho noma kungalingani ngokuphelele, bahlala bebonakala ezithamelini.

Abalingisi abamele kakhulu uMfowethu Wan kanye no-Li Jiajia. UMfowethu Wan unempandla, ugqoka izingubo zezemidlalo, nezibuko zelanga; U-Li Jiajia ufana nowesifazane we-retro 90s, ogqoke okubomvu ngezinwele ezimagagasi.

UMnu. Zhu obonakala ecwengekile, egqoke izibuko kanye nesudi ngaphandle kwentshebe, akanazo izici ezingavamile, okumenza abe umlingisi ophindwa kaningi nguJim.

UJim uthole ukuthi i-AI ikhiqiza kalula abalingiswa “ngemali endala” aura, kodwa izabalaza nabalingiswa abafana noMnu. Zhu, ocebile kodwa ongaphakeme, oyingozi kodwa engeyena umphathi wobugebengu.

"Ifilimu yesenzo esibukhoma enesihlungi sopopayi," indlela uJim asichaza ngayo isitayela sakhe sopopayi. Ababukeli bangacabanga ukuthi bekungaba njani nabalingisi bangempela.

Uma isithombe somlingisi ngamunye senziwe ngombhalo, kufana nokuba nesithombe semvunulo yefilimu. U-Jim ube esesebenzisa lezi zithombe njengento ebalulekile, edala izithombe eziningi ezinama-engeli ahlukene nezigcawu kuyilapho egcina izinhlamvu zingashintshile.

Ngezithombe ezanele, amavidiyo angakhiqizwa. Amathuluzi wevidiyo ye-AI abuyekeza ngokushesha; I-“The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot” isebenzise izinguqulo ezisuka ku-August kuya ku-September 2024.

Ngokuthwebula okuyinselele yobuchwepheshe, uJim uzame ngamathuluzi evidiyo ahlukahlukene. Ithuluzi ngalinye linamandla alo. I-Jidream, i-Keling, ne-Pika kwakungamathuluzi asetshenziswa kakhulu.

Ngaleso sikhathi, u-Jidream wayegqama ekuthwebuleni izithombe, u-Pika endaweni yesehlakalo kanye nezithombe ezinyakazayo ezikhulumayo, kuyilapho u-Keling enamakhono aqinile, nakuba ngezinye izikhathi ayeyinkimbinkimbi ngokungadingekile ezimeni ezithile.

Ngisho nangamathuluzi anamuhla, izigcawu eziningi kokuthi “The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot” ziyinselele ukufeza ngokwemvelo. Lokhu kudinga ukuncika ezindleleni zendabuko.

Isibonelo, lapho abalingiswa bengabheki ngqo phambili noma eduze lapho i-AI ingayibona kalula, futhi lapho izenzo, izinkulumo, nama-engeli ekhamera kunyakaza, umlingisi wezwi kufanele abize ngokuvumelana nokunyakaza kwezindebe zevidiyo. UJim ukholelwa ukuthi izici ezintsha azinasizo ngempela; izindlela ezindala, nakuba mhlawumbe zingaxakile, zithembeke kakhulu.

I-Niche futhi Ehlukahlukene

Indaba ethi "The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot" isethwe edolobheni elincane eliseningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-China, elinabalingisi abakhuluma ulimi lwesiSichuan, okuthandwa nguJim. Isitayela sobuciko se-“The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot” naso sihlukile, ababukeli besiqhathanisa nesiqephu esithi “Love, Death & Robots.”

Emsebenzini wakhe embonini yemidlalo, uJim ubone okuqukethwe okuningi okufanayo, okuzanyiwe nokuhlolwa.

Ukudalwa okusekelwe ku-AI kungenziwa kube ngokwakho. Imisebenzi esezingeni eliphezulu isadinga izinkampani ezinkulu ukuthi zitshale izinsiza ezibalulekile, kodwa uJim ubona amathuba amaningi okudala “umsebenzi oyisisekelo.”

Kusukela ekuqaleni kokusebenzisa i-Midjourney, uJim wayecacile ukuthi wayengafuni ukudala ngesitayela "esivamile". Njengomsebenzisi osindayo we-Midjourney, uzazi kahle izitayela ezikhiqizwa kalula yi-AI, okuyizo futhi izindawo angahambe kuzo.

Uncamela izitayela ezingabonakali ngokushesha, ezinomuzwa we-retro kodwa okungewona opopayi besikhathi sakudala—inoveli eyaziwayo.

Ngesitayela sobuciko se-"The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot," u-Jim ubalule umqondisi wopopayi uMasaaki Yuasa kanye nomculi we-manga u-Yoshiharu Tsuge.

Uqale wasebenzisa isici sika-Midjourney's Chaza ukuze aqonde amagama angukhiye ezitayela zawo, wabe esebhala ngokuqhubekayo imiyalo, ephindaphinda ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuze akhiqize izithombe ezihlangabezana nezidingo zakhe.

Ukubuka umhlaba kwe-"The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot" ngokuyinhloko kuvela ezifundeni nasezicini uJim azijwayele.

Ngo-2019, uJim wabukela i-"The Wild Goose Lake" eqondiswe nguDiao Yinan futhi edlala u-Hu Ge, futhi wahlabeka umxhwele ngokujulile "ilungiselelo lalo elibheke phansi elinobuhle obuzwakalayo kanye nengqikithi." Wabona ukuthi amafilimu ohlobo lwendabuko awabekiwe, futhi kukhona ubungqabavu obusha ezindabeni zesiShayina.

Ngo-2021, uJim waqala ukubhala umbhalo, enza uhlaka oluyisisekelo lwe-"The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot," okuhlanganisa idolobhana, insizwa ephelelwe ithemba, kanye nenkinga yokuphila.

Ngo-2023, uJim waqala ukusebenzisa iMidjourney ukuze afunde ubuciko bomqondo we-AI.

Kodwa-ke, ngaphambi kuka-2024, uJim akakaze acabange ngokwenza ifilimu ye-AI. Wazifundisa ukuthwebula izithombe, ukubhala imibhalo, kanye ne-cinematography kodwa wama lapho. Amavidiyo axoxa izindaba ngamalensi, kodwa akakwazanga ukuzidalela amasethi amashothi.

Ekuqaleni kuka-2024, uJim waqala ukusebenzisa amanye amavidiyo akudala e-AI afana no-Pika futhi kungazelelwe wabona ukuthi ekugcineni angakwazi ukugqwayiza izigcawu, alungise futhi aguqule izithombe, futhi azixhume ukuze aqedele ifilimu emfushane. Isifiso sakhe sokudala saba namandla ngendlela engakaze ibonwe.

Njengoba izinto sezilungile, kwase kuyisikhathi sokuhlela, imiphumela yomsindo, ukukopisha, nomculo. UJim wajula enqubweni yokukhiqiza amafilimu endabuko. Wazama futhi wafunda, kancane kancane elayisha izincwadi ezinesitayela, ezihlukile kuye ku-Bilibili.

Elinye ifilimu elifushane likaJim le-AI, elithi, “Hard Bop Gunman,” lithathelwe kwisitayela samahlaya amadala aseMelika namafilimu angasho lutho, kamuva wawina umklomelo ku-Creative Track yomncintiswano wevidiyo ye-AI ezinkundleni ezifana ne-1905 Movie Network kanye ne-Bilibili.

I-AI kusamele iphazamise izimboni eziningi, kodwa emaqenjini amancane nabadali ngabanye, izindleko zokudala sezamukelekile, futhi okuqukethwe okuhlukahlukene kunethuba lokubonwa izethameli.

Esetha "Indoda Ezacile Isibhamu I-Hotpot" esifundeni saseSichuan-Chongqing, uJim uyavuma ukuthi "wayenamabomu." Ufakazela ukuthi lapho edala okuqukethwe kwe-niche, asikho isidingo sokukhathazeka kakhulu ngombono wendabuko wokuthi "kuyingozi kakhulu."

Ilinganiselwe, Nokho Iyingqayizivele

Imizuzu engu-10 ethi "The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot" ingase ingathathwa njengevidiyo ende ku-Bilibili. Kodwa emphakathini we-AI, imizuzu eyi-10 ubude obuyivelakancane, ingasaphathwa eyokuthi “The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot” ixoxa indaba ephelele.

Ukuze aqedele le mizuzu eyi-10, uJim uphushe yena kanye ne-AI emkhawulweni.

Izigcawu zesenzo endaweni yokudlela ye-hotpot kokuthi “The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot” zithathe umzamo omkhulu ku-Jim, ngeshothi ngalinye eliklanyiwe, kodwa umphumela wokugcina wethule ngaphansi kuka-40%.

UJim uyavuma ukuthi izigcawu zesenzo ze-AI ziyashoda ngempela, azinawo umuzwa wokuthinta futhi azilandeli ukucabanga okunengqondo, njengokushaya umoya. Hhayi nje izigcawu zesenzo, kodwa noma yikuphi ukudubula okunyakazayo okubalulekile, njengokuklinywa, ukujikijela isando, noma ukuphihliza ngetshe, kunzima nge-AI ukukufeza.

Ngokusho kokuhlangenwe nakho kukaJim, uma kufanele udizayine izigcawu ze-AI, gwema izikhali ezibandayo futhi usebenzise izibhamu esikhundleni salokho, njengoba i-AI ingakwazi okungenani ukulingisa ukudubula. Yena ngokwakhe wasebenzisa le ndlela, "Sibonga amafilimu amadala aseHong Kong ngokuhlenga."

Uma abalingisi bangempela bezabalaza nezigcawu zesenzo, ama-stunt double angangenela, kodwa izimo zobuso eziveza imizwa ziyikhono eliyisisekelo lomdlali. Kodwa-ke, leli futhi iphuzu elibuthakathaka le-AI, okungenzeka ukuthi lenze ngokweqile noma lingabonisi nkulumo.

Ngo-Okthoba 2024, i-Runway yethula isici se-Act-One, esishayela izinhlamvu ze-AI ukuthi zenze izinkulumo ezifanayo ngokusekelwe kumavidiyo okusebenza komuntu wangempela. UJim ubona lokhu njengophawu lokuthi uma imikhiqizo eminingi yethula izici ezifanayo, kukhombisa ukuthi i-AI ngempela inebhodlela ekusebenzeni.

Ku-"The Thin Man The Gun The Hotpot," izinhlamvu zivame ukuvela kumashothi asondelene nasohlangothini lomzimba, okubonisa ubuthakathaka be-AI: ukuphatha amashothi anezihloko eziningi. Lapho eklama amashothi, u-Jim uzama ukugwema izigcawu ezinabantu abaningi ngoba akakasitholi isixazululo esihle okwamanje.

Ngisho nalapho kukhiqizwa izithombe ngeMidjourney, uma kunabantu abangaphezu kwababili, izinkinga zobuso zingase ziphakame. Uma ibekwe ekuhlanganyeleni kwevidiyo ye-AI, indawo iba nesiphithiphithi nakakhulu.

Okubonwayo okwenziwe nge-AI kunemikhawulo eminingi, ngakho-ke ekukhiqizeni kwangemuva, u-Jim usebenzisa okuseduze, amashothi angokomfanekiso, nokusikeka okusheshayo ukuze anxephezele ukushiyeka kokubonakalayo. Isithombe sesilwane esiphindelelayo kokuthi “Indoda Ezacile Isibhamu I-Hotpot” siyisibonelo.

Izingathekiso nezimpawu nazo zivame ukusetshenziswa kwamanye amafilimu e-American noir asendulo. Ngawo-1940s kanye nama-50s, ngenxa yemikhawulo yobuchwepheshe nemithethonqubo efana ne-Hays Code ekhawulela izithombe ezinodlame, isimo sasicishe sifane namavidiyo e-AI ngo-2024.

I-echo phakathi namashumi eminyaka iyathakazelisa kuJim, "Mhlawumbe izindlela eziphelelwe yisikhathi zisebenza kahle kumafilimu e-AI."

Nokho, izethameli zithembekile, zinikeza impendulo “njengephrezentheshini ye-PowerPoint ebushelelezi” noma “ikhomikhi enamandla ethuthukisiwe.” UJim uyakwamukela lokhu, yingakho ekhethe ukwenza izithombe ze-AI.

Uma kuqhathaniswa nesitayela sempilo yangempela esinesikhumba esibushelelezi, esithusayo, opopayi okungenani “abenzi izibukeli zicabange ngokushesha, yewu, lokhu kuwumbumbulu kakhulu.” Ukunyakaza okuqinile nokuqinile kwezinhlamvu kwamukeleka kakhulu ekugqwayizeni okungelona iqiniso.

Ukungalandeleli ubude nokuqinisekisa ikhwalithi kuqala ngokwengxenye kungenxa yokuthi uJim uqhathanisa namafilimu avamile. Ungenele umncintiswano okungewona owe-AI wama-Independent Shorts Awards ukuze enze amajaji anganaki ilebula ye-AI futhi agxile endabeni ngokwayo.

UJim unethemba lokuthi uma ebuka umsebenzi wakhe, izethameli zingaqaphela ukuba khona kwe-AI kodwa zingezi ku-AI, zingabonisi ububele ohlelweni lokuhlola amafilimu e-AI, “Umphakathi we-AI unobungane kakhulu, ukuzwa amazwi anokhahlo kuyadingeka.”

Ukuphikelela Ekudalweni Ukuze Unqobe Ukukhathazeka

Izindaba ze-AI zivame ukubhala mayelana "nezinguquko zasebusuku," futhi ukudala ifilimu emfushane ezinyangeni ezintathu kakade isikhathi eside.

I-AI ithuthuka nsuku zonke. Ngo-2023, uJim wayekwazi ukuhambisana nolwazi lwansuku zonke lwe-AI, kodwa kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2024, ukuhambisana nezitayela kwaba yinto engenakwenzeka. Naye uzizwa ekhathazekile kodwa hhayi ngokuphuphutheka kanjalo, njengabanye abaningi.

Ubuchwepheshe bunamandla, kodwa usemningi umsebenzi abantu okufanele bawenze. Ubunzima nokuthakasela endalweni kulele eqinisweni lokuthi ezinye izinkinga kufanele zixazululwe ngumdali ngokwakhe.

“Echibini Le-Wild Goose,” kunesigameko sokudubulana esishiye umbono ojulile ku-Jim: abantu badansa esigcawini, amaphoyisa angagqoke iyunifomu agqoka izicathulo ezikhazimulayo, izigebengu ziyadubula, amaphoyisa ajaha ngegazi elikhazimulayo, abese edubula nawo.

Umehluko oshubile kodwa odlalayo wamshukumisa uJim. Ngaphandle kwalesi sigcawu, ukusabela kokuqala kumdanso oyisikwele kungaba "i-tacky."

Ukholelwa ukuthi ngokuvamile, izici ezijwayelekile aziphelelwa isikhathi kodwa azikwazi ukuhlola okujulile ngabadali.

Ngokuphambene, izinto ezivezwa ngokucophelela ngamathuluzi amadala zingase zingathathelwa indawo ubuchwepheshe obusha.

Amavidiyo e-AI abuyekeziwe izikhathi eziningi, kodwa uJim akahleli ukwenza kabusha izikhindi ze-AI zangaphambilini.

Idizayini nokuyekethisa kwayo yonke ifilimu emfushane kwakusekelwe emikhawulweni ye-AI ngaleso sikhathi, kwakha ibhizinisi eliphelele. Ngisho nangemva kweminyaka, kusekhona izici ezijabulisayo, okuyilapho ukubaluleka komsebenzi kulele khona.

I-AI ingasiza uJim aqedele ukuhlola okufanayo, acabange kabusha izinto ezithokozisayo. Akayithandi i-AI enikeza izimpendulo ngokuqondile; ukhetha ukuzixazulula yena izinkinga, esebenzisa i-AI njengethuluzi elifana nelokubala.

Uma kuqhathaniswa nokusebenzisa i-AI ukwenza izikhangiso noma amavidiyo omculo, uJim usancamela ukusebenzisa i-AI ukuze axoxele izindaba. Kuye, "ukulandisa kuyinhloso yokuqala yokudalwa kwefilimu."

Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, lapho uJim ezifundela ukubhala, wayengagcini nje ngokufunda izincwadi kodwa futhi wayezilolongela ngokubhala imibhalo futhi ayiqedele, “Uma ungaqedi, akusho lukhulu.”

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, wabukela amafilimu amaningi, ebuka njalo amasha, ehlela izithombe ezithakazelisayo, futhi ebuka izincazelo zabanye nokuhlaziya. Uthi “akanaso isisekelo esiqinile,” kodwa uyazwela ezithombeni, onekhono ekuxhumaniseni izinto ezifanayo, futhi ongcono ekusebenziseni ulimi lwekhamera ukuze adlulisele ngokunembile imizwa nemizwa.

Manje, uJim uthatha ikhefu, uhlela ukwabelana ngezinto ezidaliwe ze-AI, wenza iphrojekthi elandelayo ye-AI, futhi uthola intuthuko yakamuva ethuluzini ngalinye levidiyo ye-AI. Ngokubona kwakhe, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi mangaki amathuluzi e-AI akhona, izinsiza umuntu ngamunye angazitshala ziyalingana futhi zibalulekile. Ubuningi abunandaba; ukuzitholela indlela efanele kubaluleke kakhulu.

Esigabeni sokuphawula sikaJim sika-Bilibili, isibukeli sichaze ukubuka kwabo ngokuthi “amathuluzi angenamphefumulo, indalo enomphefumulo.” Waphendula, “Lesi sitatimende sinesisindo esikhulu.”

Indlela engcono kakhulu yokulwa nokukhathazeka ukudala. UJim akafuni ukuqagela ukuthi i-AI ingenzani ngokuzayo noma izothatha indawo kabani. Ukhetha ukukholelwa ukuthi njalo ukudala imisebenzi emisha ezandleni zakhe - inqaba eqinile yomuntu.
