Throughout the last days the fans of Star Wars They have exploded the internet with their reactions and comments around the most recent “trailer” dedicated to this franchise, where we see what Episode IV would look like if it were directed and adapted by Wes Anderson. The curious thing here is that this audiovisual itself was not created by a group of fans, but by Artificial Intelligence.
The technology with this type of platform has not reached the level of articulating absolutely everything with a couple of instructions. But with the right approach and using multiple specialized AI systems it is possible to recreate a video without spending so much on production resources, since everything is done digitally.
This is how over the last few months we have seen some viral examples of works and creations with a high degree of complexity and that even seem real. When in reality everything was done by Artificial Intelligence.
Sagas like Harry Potter, Dragon Ball and Star Wars have been the subject of this type of experiment, but in reality almost everything had been through tributes made up of images.
But this time we have a tribute composed of audio, image and movement which makes it much more impressive.
Video: Star Wars is reborn as a film directed by Wes Anderson thanks to Artificial Intelligence
The video we are talking about today went viral on Twitter, through the official account of Curious Refugea website dedicated to business entrepreneurship and the formation of consulting and remote work networks.
Basically they demonstrated what they are capable of doing with the proper use of Artificial Intelligence tools and they set up like this it’s video one minute long where they recreate the most iconic elements of Episode IV, now directed by Wes Anderson under the title of The Galactic Menagerie:
“Welcome to Galactic Menagerie, a whimsical and visually stunning fan-made faux trailer that reimagines the classic Star Wars universe through the eccentric lens of Wes Anderson. This charming mashup brings together iconic Star Wars characters with Anderson’s signature symmetrical compositions, pastel color palettes, and quirky humor.
Travel to a galaxy far, far away and experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, and other fan favorites. Watch as they navigate their way through the Galactic Menagerie, a universe filled with eccentric creatures, enchanting droids, and quirky locations reminiscent of Anderson’s beloved films, like Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel.”
It is the official description of this video also published in YouTube where we see how multiple AI systems would have been used. One for the images, one for the script, one for the voice-over, one for animating static images, and so on.
The result is impressive. But the legendary video of Patrick H. Willems where he crosses the universe of the X-Men with the style of this director is superior:
