Discover a World of AI-Generated Film Stills

Let the Magic Unfold: Discover a World of AI-Generated Film Stills.

AI cinema, a still image art form that emerged last year, has been gaining traction among many artists. They use a type of AI image generator called Midjourney to create stunning visuals that look like they belong in a movie, but don't actually exist. It wasn't long before creative minds began producing multiple AI-generated images with a single theme, combining them to tell a story, and posting them on Twitter with the #aicinema hashtag. Though limited by technological capabilities, these images weren't able to move, but they still had the aesthetic appeal of a movie. With the help of AI, these artists were able to create something unique—a cinematic experience! #Ai-Cinema

Today we will be featuring an Ai Artist, Julie Wieland, who calls the art form "AI Cinema" and her technique "Synthography". She explained that the process starts with a prompt, or a text description, which is fed into the AI generator to create the image.

Julie Wieland is a graphic designer by day, who has been practicing AI cinema for several months now and has racked up a sizable following on Twitter due to her eye-catching works of art generated by Midjourney. Her work has been featured in an article about Midjourney v5, an AI image generator that produces more realistic images.

We asked Julie how she creates her AI-generated film stills. She told us that she uses Midjourney for the "original" or "raw" images, then does outpainting (and small inpainting) in DALL-E 2, and then does editing and color correction in Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom.

The reaction to Julie's art has been quite mixed. She finds that her content is ignored on Instagram and Tiktok, but she's appreciated the positive feedback she's received on Twitter. When asked about those who might say she's not the artist behind her works because Midjourney creates them for her, Julie says that it's about the story you're telling, not the tool you're using.

Julie's artwork is a testament to the power of AI and its ability to create art that is both captivating and unique. We can't wait to see what other parallel universes Julie will explore with her synthography!

"The people that say Midjourney is just 'writing 3 words and pushing a button' are the same ones that stand in front of a Rothko painting or Duchamp Readymades and go, 'Well, I could've done this too.' It's about the story you're telling, not the tool you're using," said Julie Wieland, a graphic designer who has been exploring the potential of AI-generated film stills. Just like painting or photography, the human touch is still essential for achieving excellent results on a consistent basis.

Wieland, who often refers to herself as a "synthographer" and her artform "synthography," explained that her process involves using Midjourney for the "original" or "raw" images, then doing outpainting and small inpainting in DALL-E 2, before finishing with editing and color correction in Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom.

Despite mixed reactions from her followers, Wieland remains dedicated to her craft and her message: "It's about the story you're telling, not the tool you're using."

The use of AI in art has been a controversial topic, but many artists have embraced the new technology and have used it to create amazing visuals. It's no surprise that this trend is growing in popularity and that AI cinema is here to stay.
