I’ll enjoy this the moment our eyes are built vertically.

While cool application of the tevh, this is peak vertical video brainrot. Stop making vertical videos.

Saw the clips. Not impressed.

Outside of it being a new clickbait trend the movies, the example they are using lose way more because they are totally changing the scene composition.

Consider the attention to detail and visuals in Akira. If they expanded the visuals to be portrait oriented they wouldn’t have such drab, empty, uninspired art in the added space. Which is exactly what AI does in this instance. It makes the examples (Akira especially) look less compelling, less focused, and in the event it does have something decently render takes away from the true composition of the shit so it ruins the content of said shot.

My two cents.

I love when AI is used to give us different perspectives, belying the impact to artist’s original intent. More of a curiosity in this case, a “what if?” Of sorts

This is cool as a proof of concept but I tend to agree with the ‘dissenters’ that the composition is much stronger in many of the unaltered scenes.

Actually super well done and an interesting concept.

These are all static shots from the film that suit the format and method well, so definitely could not do the whole film like this.

I think it looks neat, it’s not viable for a whole movie, but it’s cool!

Stop trying to convince me that portrait mode is the new format for entertainment.
