I worked with an LLM to build a ~3D animation of the Back to the Future delorean Time Machine as a way to spice up the hero on a docs page.
That took a fair amount of custom tuning and I had to create a tuning view to get some of the behaviors right.
But it was enough fun that I generalized it to take in ~any scene description from a film. It goes out and gets more detailed descriptions and film stills if available but also takes custom stills if you provide them.
My test scene was the Gauntlet scene from Apocalypto. It is low fidelity but does a pretty amazing sequence with somewhat believable physics of the javelins etc.
Here is the docs page with the vertical takeoff / 88 miles an hour time travel: https://contextify.sh/docs https://contextify.sh/docs
I can share some of the Apocalypto bit if anyone is interested.
- manofmanysmiles 2mo agoI am interested, I'd love to see! I'm waiting for the day my dad's self published books become self produced movies!
- bredren 2mo agoThank you, for your patience in my reply here it is: https://banagale.com/cinematic-canvas-ai-film-animation.htm https://banagale.com/cinematic-canvas-ai-film-animation.htm I provide a "how I got to this" up front, but if you want to jump right to the Apocalypto stuff, use this: https://banagale.com/cinematic-canvas-ai-film-animation.htm#cinematic-canvas-workbench https://banagale.com/cinematic-canvas-ai-film-animation.htm#... And if you want to play with interactive demos of the two animation sequences (the tuning tooling I described in my OP) you can go directly there: https://banagale.com/cinematic-canvas-workbench-demos https://banagale.com/cinematic-canvas-workbench-demos If anyone wants to collaborate on building out the cinematic-canvas-workbench project please email me.

- garganzol 2mo agoThe product you've built the animation for is only for macOS, which is a pity cause it has a way wider appeal than macOS market share is. You have low-hanging fruits right there, don't miss them.
- trvz 2mo agomacOS covers 90% of people who would ever pay him.
- garganzol 2mo agoThis is a bizarre claim to make in this case, AI tech is used on all platforms universally.
- thejazzman 2mo agoiOS users spend dramatically more on e-commerce. I worked in e-commerce. Maybe it’s changed in the last 5 years. But that’s where the ops sentiment comes from.
- tbossanova 2mo agoMore proportionally or more in total? Just wondering what the cost/benefit calculation is like when deciding how much to invest in the iOS user experience
- adithyassekhar 2mo agoIt’s a dark pattern of the platform honestly. I can’t find a single free app even for a tiny utility without being forced into a yearly subscription with 7 days free trial. One of the many things I regret switch from android for. Since the democratic of iphone users are mostly tech averse people I can assure you most of that are forgotten subscriptions.
- trvz 2mo agoHaving to pay for stuff you use is not a dark pattern.
- 9dev 2mo agoHa, that's fun! I've built half your product for myself as a personal, native MacOS app, with a slightly different direction, but the same core idea. I might go do a little scavenging for ideas in your docs :-)
- bredren 2mo agoPlease feel free to do so! I have a source available copy of the self-hosted sync server up on github here: https://github.com/PeterPym/contextify-cloud-self-hosted https://github.com/PeterPym/contextify-cloud-self-hosted If you have time to try the product as it stands, I would definitely appreciate your feedback in particular, and would be interested in checking out what you've built so far for yourself. I will publish the API to the database as well.
- alsetmusic 2mo agoNeat app. Would be helpful if I could adjust text size. It's small enough that immediately looked for that setting. I don't think it exists, which means I'm disincentivized from using it. My vision is that of a middle-aged person and I already needed glasses in grade school.
