What No One Tells You About Making a 17-Minute AI Backrooms Film
A 17-minute Backrooms short film, made by one person with AI. Javi Lopez, co-founder of Magnific, walks me through how he pulled it off, the "don't do handheld" lesson, and the thing no one tells you about making a film this long alone: form a band.
This is the first of what might become a recurring thing: other AI filmmakers on the channel, so I can steal their workflows and pass them on to you. The longest AI short I've made is about eight minutes, so I wanted to know how Javi handled a 17-minute monster, and what he learned doing it. Tell me in the comments if you want more of these.
