Question

I’m an AI Student, previously I was thinking about something, every time we guys we see a movie, the next time we the movie, it’s the same thing, so those who have a knowledge of AI, such as the graph theory and so on, do you think it is feasible to create a dynamic movie, that is the first time you see it, it follows a path in the graph, the next time you see it, it follows a different path and as a result, we get a different movies, do u think this is feasible ??

Answer 1

It’s a shame I can’t remember the French researcher who’s doing research on movie style cameras. While not an interactive movie as you propose, you could alter the strength and importance of each character, and it would position, pan and zoom the camera according to cinematography rules. It looked very promising.

While it would show you the same movie, you could see it in infinitely different variants in regards to camera positioning, each of which could lead to a different interpretation 🙂

But for your proposal, just go with some logic based planning AI. No need for learning as others says. You have a bunch of sequences, and a bunch of logic to describe how they fit together, which prerequisites they have et cetera. If the logic is good, it would always result in a meaningful film. But it’d be a hard task. It’s hard just to make a linear film 😉
