Prompt: Mechanical Engravings
Imagine a scene filled with detailed, intricate mechanical components that resemble the precision of clockwork gears and industrial machinery. The entire composition should look like it's been meticulously engraved in fine, metallic lines, reminiscent of old-world craftsmanship. The engravings should highlight every small piston, cog, and lever, with shadows and depth creating a sense of complexity and artistry. Think of a fusion between ancient technical drawings and futuristic machinery, blending old and new technology seamlessly in a dark, metallic palette.

Media and Broadcast Companies Reveal Confidence In AI Technology
A new survey by Caretta Research, conducted on behalf of TVBEurope and TV Tech, reveals that media and broadcast companies are optimistic about the adoption of AI, though many are taking a cautious, "wait and see" approach. The study found that 85% of respondents believe AI will significantly impact the industry, particularly in areas like speech-to-text and automated production. While there are concerns about AI replacing routine tasks, most companies see it as a tool to enhance human creativity and efficiency. Despite hurdles, confidence in AI's future role within media production is growing.
AI could actually change movies for the better
AI is poised to revolutionize filmmaking, as evidenced by the Reply AI Film Festival, where films created using AI technologies showcased groundbreaking creativity. The festival's winner, *To Dear Me* by Gisele Tong, exemplifies how AI can enhance storytelling, offering a poignant exploration of self-discovery. According to Filippo Rizzante, CTO of Reply AI, AI will augment, not replace, traditional filmmaking by democratizing content creation and enabling a new level of creativity. From allowing audiences to customize story endings to creating films "on the fly," AI could reshape the industry and address issues like long production times, potentially fixing flawed finales like *Game of Thrones*.
Bringing generative AI to video with Adobe Firefly Video Model
Adobe is expanding Firefly's capabilities to video with the upcoming Firefly Video Model, designed to empower editors and filmmakers with new AI-driven workflows. By integrating generative AI into industry-leading tools like Premiere Pro, the model allows creators to generate custom video content, fill gaps, and enhance footage with cinematic elements, all while ensuring that the model is commercially safe. Available in beta later this year, this technology aims to streamline and elevate the creative process for video professionals.
