Another tell: AI “writers” don’t like writing. AI “artists” don’t like making art.
This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

Very happy to have helped shape this astounding project. A great bunch of creatives all striving for the same amazing film. The look and feel of this thing will kick the snot out of you!
Just completed final watch through of the finished ROGUE TROOPER film…
25 years of pestering @2000ad.bsky.social to let me give it a shot, 3 years of production to make the thing & now… it’s DONE!
Can’t wait for you to see it.
So, so proud of our team.
We’ve made something a bit special.
❤️

Very disappointed in the new Nebula Award eligibility information from SFWA that allows partially-generated works to be on the ballot. See 9.11.2.

After you all fall in love with Rogue Trooper and demand more @2000ad.bsky.social films.
I’m not kidding you with how much is in the balance here! 😅

Speaking of which: when, for the love of God, is someone going to do a Halo Jones series/movie? Stick a wig on Anya Taylor-Joy and you're good to go.

It was quite a bit darker when I got this one and I was hoping my 600mm would pick up what I was seeing. Thankfully it did!

The @wetafxofficial.bsky.social 2019 #Christmas party Spacewall project was an opportunity to develop something truly creative. From #concept to completion this 20000x2000 pixel #movie was created in #nuke using cards in #3D #space. It was then projected onto the inside of the stadium.

This is my favourite image from that special night, of the thousands of exposures I took.
The Coronal Aurora absolutely going OFF!
Still gives me thrills!
