Hey. I'm making a movie. It's called "Fairy Dinosaur Date Night" and I'm using AI to help build it.
Is this a good idea? Honestly, I don't know. But I've been sitting on this screenplay since 2019 and I'm tired of waiting for someone to make it for me.
Why Now?
Everyone has opinions about AI and art. Should artists worry? Is it theft? Is it amazing? I got tired of arguing about it. So I'm just going to make something and see what happens.
Not a tech demo. Not a proof of concept. An actual movie. With characters and a story and hopefully some moments that make you feel something.
If it works, great. If it doesn't, at least I'll know.
What's Here
Production updates. How things actually work (or don't). Technical stuff about Blender and AI tools. When I mess up, I'll tell you. When something works better than expected, I'll tell you that too.
No spin. No marketing. Just what's actually happening.
The Movie
Two kids. Their parents accidentally get zapped to the Jurassic era during date night. The kids have to rescue them with help from a depressed fairy godfather and a dinosaur that farts colors.
I know how that sounds. But trust me, it works. I think.
About the AI Thing
I'm not replacing artists. I'm one person trying to make a movie that would normally require a studio. Pixar has hundreds of people. I have me and some API keys.
AI is how I'm attempting this. Whether that's actually possible is what I'm here to find out.
I'll be honest about what it can and can't do. When it fails spectacularly, you'll see that. When it surprises me, you'll see that too.
What's Coming
The screenplay's done. Now I'm figuring out how to get Blender to do what I want through code. It's going... interestingly.
Character designs. Storyboards. Connecting language models to 3D software. Probably a lot of things that don't work the first time. Or the fifth time.
That's It
I don't know if this will work. I think it might. Either way, it'll be interesting to document.
Let's find out.
