What can AI do for you as a Filmmaker?

In this episode of the School of Motion Podcast, we are joined by Caleb Ward of Curious Refuge to chat about two of their recent and massively successful movie trailers that were created with AI tools like like ChatGPT, Midjourney, D-ID and Eleven Labs. The Wes-Anderson-inspired trailers combine Wes's signature style with Lord of The Rings and Star Wars and quickly gathered millions of views.

In this interview, he walks us through how he made these films, and tells us what it’s like to go mega viral. We also dive into the future of creativity in the face of AI, and the complex ethical questions around all of this.
