Needs to survive? Are you kidding me? Good stories, good direction. You don't need 47 million dollars to make a movie.

Can you show me that "the movie industry is in free fall"? I have seen many fantastic movies lately.

I guess you could consider AI to be a form of animation, but I really don't see them improving anything if they keep churning out the same crap for the big budget movies.

Failing studios due to their mad rush to build out streaming services, taking on massive debt, and trying to shuffle that debt around. Doesnt help that they don't pick up movies that are worthwhile and instead try to follow formulas. They want intellectual Property for a long term franchise, park ride, and merch. Consolidation desires IP.

For example on major movies: I saw someone on Nebula say everything that went into making The Barbie Movie was what made it work. But instead of focusing on what THAT was and making a different movie, they immediately start thinking: milk the Barbie movie for a sequel and more merch and a Barbieland.

Point is: they made shitty decisions. I am not sure AI will help because they will still do the above and just pay less people.

At least thats how I see it.

I could see AI being used as a story board, sample scenes, something like that. Beyond that, nah I don't even want to see it.
