TV producers wanted AI rights of extras forever, says union
TV producers wanted AI rights of extras forever, says union
Sadly, I think they will get them, one way or another.
All it will take is a handful of people desperate for money agreeing to be 3d scanned, and maybe a few months of interns saying yes/no to particular faces, and bam, hundreds of extras ready to be used and abused for decades to cover.
I think a combination of 3d animation and ‘ai postprocessing’ is probably the most effective result.
As much as I respect the rights of extras, they are expensive and easier to replace. Disney already has things setup so extras never have to be on set, although you get a lot of backgrounds with ‘people just walking back and forth with no purpose’, but a bit more effort will mean those prefilmed backgrounds wont even require human actors, they barely do already.
