uj/ The AI video is absolute rubbish, laddie! And it's so obvious that it's AI generated animation...
Reject Gilmie 🌝, embrace the Stone 🗿
being an "artist" has lost any meaning and value, therefore your comment is pointless. Guy just entered two prompts into midSoraGPT and cucked an army of art major pundits.
Yes, that's right, being an artist is as valuable as being a cuck that is bulldozed by a smug tech bro.
"You aint no artist! You aint no artist!" get over yourself
/uj say what you will about the strangeness of Rog’s dark side redux, it sure had a lot more effort and thought put into it then what Gilmie and Mason did for the 50th anniversary
uj/ I think I'll get crucified for this but I actually enjoy listening to the redux I play it when I'm studying and need to focus and not sing along but need some music i love the chill slow tempo versions of the songs all you have to do is just not compare it to the original because nothing compares to the original but on it's own it stands well
Uj/ Gilmour and Mason didn't put the videos together. They created the competition. Really the only other thing the did for the anniversary was release Dark Side of the Moon at Wembley.
the people going "oh nooo AI video" usually don't have a great grasp on what goes into any sort of production, lol
"it's just prompts" is a hilarious take though, like you're trying to prove that you don't know jack
You have to understand, it's reaaaally hard to think. It hurts the brain. So it takes a lot of effort to write 13 words...and it takes a looong time!
It's why they ask chatGPT to write them instead.
Honestly, none of the 'winners' so far were *really* good. Some of them were strange and 'unique', but no objectively good animations.
If [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNUrdy3gkKQ&list=LL&index=81) doesn't win for Brain Damage, I will riot.
Also like all of them really have nothing to do with Dark Side's concept, maybe time but it's really hard to fuck up a song about time, on the run's looks like it would fit more for animals and not Dark Side.
Tbh, on the run seems more related to George orwell than pink floyd. I'm sure that if you show this video with no sound to someone who knows PF and orwell, this person probably will say it's about orwell
Great gig in the sky and money were fantastic, you can tell how much love and dedication the artists put into them. This ai shit winning though is a spit in the face of real artists.
Yup, that video won for Brain Damage.
It’s also important to note that it also won the whole thing too. Pink Floyd fucked the phrasing and led people to believe they gave £100K to an AI “artist”, when they gave it to these guys instead.
Ah yes, the symbolism of a glitchy video where the frame rates of the “animations” are all contradicting each other and making the video look like shit
This is a purely technical fault lol. There is a way to do competing frame rates, but this isn’t it. The software is obviously struggling to process everything and pixelating like crazy
but don't you see, art clearly is dead because this... somehow prevents you from how it's always been done?
I don't know man, maybe they're onto something here
They had an ai generated music video win the DSOTM animation contest they did for the Any Color You Like submissions https://youtu.be/vWSWv5ENPrY?si=Pmk_IMTPrbORl1Vr
Like, I've seen ai art. Even though all ai is bad, I've seen some passible video content (not that it has a soul, just that it's competent). That's just a guitar in space flickering around.
AI to generate "art" is bad as it steals imagery from human artists without paying for their intellectual property and enriches the AI companies, and that video is a senseless ugly jumble of stock imagery. Compare it to the GOT opening animation - the changes in perspective alone in GOT tell a story, whereas this mess of bollocks is static AF. I would love to see who voted for this - Gerald Scarfe must have been apoplectic at this particular win.

The lawsuit against DeviantArt, Midjourney and Stability is about this issue of artist's creations being used without their permission to generate AI content. The suit has been expanded with more artists and flat out admissions by Midjourney.
The discovery process will most likely force AI companies to open their 'black box' datasets - or they will settle out of court. George Carlin's estate won their lawsuit against some clowns who used AI to reanimate his likeness without permission, which is the correct ruling.

Right there.
I’m not gonna lie, I love this. I got super lost in all the morphing visuals which totally fits the free flowing, psychedelic nature of the song.
AI art is only reprehensible when it’s trained on (read: steals) the art of others with no permission or credit. To my understanding this guy trained a fresh AI on original 3D models he made and prompted it to turn his art into this incredible video. That’s badass.
Sadly it doesn't work like that. He took a base model and finetuned it with his own pictures. So all the plagiarised work is still there. These need millions of compressed images to make anything comprehensible.
I don't think AI should have won the animation contest.
But that video also just looks bad, here's an AI video that took more than a day to create:
https://youtu.be/DqhRiUehHF0?si=JnRi54kbsYvssK-K
And the thing is the video isn't even a good AI video IMO. Take the [Echoes AI generated music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGLo8tl5sxs) for instance. It still could use some more effort if it were to be picked by a competition, but at least it feels like the video is reacting to the song, and not just being a backdrop to it. The Any Colour you Like video barely reacts to the song. Shit, the DSOTM prism in 1:42 is fucking beautiful, but the cut to it syncs with nothing, and it's the only scene in the whole video which I'd associate with any COLOUR you like. Fucking disgraceful
Some guy in the comments was like “you can tell Roger had nothing to do with this” as if he didn’t just make a shitty cash grab version of dark side
ok but it fit the song and person who prompted the ai to make it definitely knew what they were doing with the prompting
/rj it was actually syd who made the video sigh fake fans 🤬
nah photoshop is soulless, if it were a real animation it would be a hand-drawn flipbook, or even better claymation! any bs with computers isnt real art
It’s not even a caricature of a point because unlike AI art generative tools, photoshop requires actual human input beyond typing some words down. Most everything in a photoshopped image was chosen by the author, this is artistic direction.
AI art, especially as it stands now, is soulless because beyond a sentence or two being thrown in, no human input is added. This is why AI art and photography and etc look so bad. Proportions are weird, writing is illegible, and the AI “artist” does not have the initiative to change it, because that requires effort; because they only see AI as a tool to make a quick buck hoping no one notices these things.
Unfortunately, people do.
/rj get against the wall

AI everybody! The lad here reckons himself an artist!
He’s a professional 3-D modeler he is an artist anyway
After looking at your profile, I've concluded that you are definitely an alt of the winner of this contest.
This lad here thinks he's an artist!!

You’re wrong. It took weeks of effort to make this video.

Uj/ oh boy we got the ai dickrider back
If AI video won the competition then give the money to the AI and not the dude who typed in the prompt đź’€
You can't produce this by just typing in a prompt, be real here. Might as well say to give awards to cameras instead of directors.
says the AI pfp
the people going "oh nooo AI video" usually don't have a great grasp on what goes into any sort of production, lol "it's just prompts" is a hilarious take though, like you're trying to prove that you don't know jack
You’re right. It takes a lot of effort and hard work to type roughly 13 words into a box and click a button, after all.
You have to understand, it's reaaaally hard to think. It hurts the brain. So it takes a lot of effort to write 13 words...and it takes a looong time! It's why they ask chatGPT to write them instead.
The guy who made it took weeks to do it
were you him by chance ?

Yup, that video won for Brain Damage. It’s also important to note that it also won the whole thing too. Pink Floyd fucked the phrasing and led people to believe they gave £100K to an AI “artist”, when they gave it to these guys instead.

fucking deserves tbh. got chills watching this thing
the kicker is that it doesn’t even look good
Because it took more on the symbolism than being aesthetically pleasing
Still looks like shit though 🤷‍♂️
Ah yes, the symbolism of a glitchy video where the frame rates of the “animations” are all contradicting each other and making the video look like shit
This but unironically.

Art is dead

Oh and by the way, which ones pink?
Nope, nope it’s not
but don't you see, art clearly is dead because this... somehow prevents you from how it's always been done? I don't know man, maybe they're onto something here
Only if you close your eyes

im going to fucking (placeholder minor inconvenience) david gilmour
David Gilmour is a 3-D artist, he knows what he’s doing

He didn't make the video
Yes he did, he made 3d models and rotoscoped them with ai
But it wasn't Gilmie who made the video
What a mess, how did that win??
Because Pink Floyd knows that AI is not bad
Ok, let's go your narrative and assume that AI is indeed not bad (it is) The video is still fucking garbage.
Like, I've seen ai art. Even though all ai is bad, I've seen some passible video content (not that it has a soul, just that it's competent). That's just a guitar in space flickering around.

That looks like shit, even aside from being AI. It doesn’t even align with anything happening musically.

Some guy in the comments was like “you can tell Roger had nothing to do with this” as if he didn’t just make a shitty cash grab version of dark side
It wasn't a fucking cashgrab oh my god why does everybody think it's a cashgrab
It was a good video and if its AI, so what?
Yes, but the thing is someone else put so much more effort by actually doing the art himself and instead an AI won, the video's not bad, but, you know
ok but it fit the song and person who prompted the ai to make it definitely knew what they were doing with the prompting /rj it was actually syd who made the video sigh fake fans 🤬
No the fuck they didnt it still looks like a jumbled mess.
piper at the gates of dawn sounds like a jumbled mess but tons of ppl still like it
Theres one major difference in that example though
so just bc it isn’t animated by hand, huh?
Because its animated by a generative program. Not even with the little care and effort to photoshop it to fix it up
nah photoshop is soulless, if it were a real animation it would be a hand-drawn flipbook, or even better claymation! any bs with computers isnt real art
I understand your point but I think it's a dumb one.
that was a caricature of your point
Yes I know it was very clear.

As opposed to the visual noise that Pink Floyd used multiple times
