Imagination takes us to places that don't exist. AI image and video generation can be considered a camera for the imagination. For the fireseeable future, it will still take a lot of additional skills to make the best of this technology. We keep up with the development of technology while not making it the main focus.
While every source element in this experimental "Alleys of Anarchy" short was generated using AI, depth, animation and atmospheric effects were added in After Effects to bring them to life. As of early 2024, this is still the only viable method to maintain consistency and original resolution. Compared to fully AI-generated content, you can see that we retain full 4K resolution, can do long clips, and the image doesn't start to change in weird ways over time.
