The new AI video model, SeeDance, is finally here, and it was worth the wait! In this video, I’m putting it through its paces and the good news is, it hits that sweet spot of being fast, cheap, and good. Plus, I’ve got a look at some mind-bending real-time voice-controlled AI video that you won’t want to miss.

We’re diving deep into SeeDance, the new AI video model from ByteDance. After a chaotic rollout with some initial bugs, SeeDance Pro is now widely available and working like a charm. I’ll be testing it out on Krea, and I have to say, their new image model is pretty impressive too!

I’ll walk you through my experiments with text-to-video and where I think this model really shines: image-to-video. We’ll look at everything from creating cinematic scenes to kung fu fights and some surprisingly good character acting and emoting. Plus, I’ll reveal SeeDance’s superpower that lets you create some really interesting cuts in your videos.

Later in the video, we’ll check out Dream Stream for some real-time, voice-controlled AI video generation that’s a lot of fun to play with. And a big thanks to Recraft for sponsoring this video and offering a sweet discount for you all!

Join filmmakers Dave Clark and Junie Lau as they share their creative journey and production process behind their latest films made with Flow, Google’s new AI filmmaking tool, at Tribeca Film Festival.

This abridged panel offers a deep dive into AI filmmaking production and is hosted by Matthew Carey, Director, Google Creative Lab, and Bryce Norbitz, Senior Director of Artist Programs at Tribeca Studio

The boost in AI productivity is analgous to the adoption of electricity. Of course, in this case, it will also replace many workers. So, AI will represent positive and negative disruptions.

The race to creating the most efficient and most intelligent AI programs has some unlikely contenders who are hoping to redefine specific industries through more advanced models. Robinhood’s Vlad Tenev is developing “mathematical superintelligence” for provable accuracy in math and science, while SandboxAQ’s Jack Hidary backs “large quantitative models” trained on numbers, not words. As billions flow into AI, the future may not be one-size-fits-all models like ChatGPT.

The next ad you see on TikTok might not feature a human at all. With new features like avatars and instant video generation, brands now have the power to create ads with virtual “influencers.” In its latest update, TikTok rolled out several generative AI features for advertisers as a part of TikTok Symphony. This suite of generative AI tools is designed to help “streamline creative production and spark bold new ideas.”

The camera is a tool — but to do what? Images shape our daily life, yet we rarely question how they’re made or why.

As filmmakers, we’re fascinated by how humans use cameras and by the immense influence images have. For 15 years, we’ve investigated the history of the camera, and we’ve turned the material we gathered into a feature documentary, chronicling how people behind the camera went from capturing the image of a backyard to today’s multibillion-dollar content industry.

The video above, “Death of a Fantastic Machine,” is a shorter version of that documentary, and here we focus on something that emerged as the key factor: how economic forces have shaped what we see, from the earliest photography to the algorithms and A.I. of today.

Some say there are an estimated 45 billion cameras on earth today, giving humankind access to perspectives far beyond our own reach. But the very tool that could help us understand the world is increasingly used to distort it. With A.I., this distortion has reached a new level. When any photo or video can be manufactured, what happens to the camera’s credibility? Can we still trust what we see?
