IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

Yes, James. That sums it up very well.

As AI video is produced from what it has learned from previous productions, then it is effectively archive video, and not the original work of the AI film maker. It would be interesting to see the comments of judges who have reviewed films which have been made using AI alone. There would be very lit...

The question is with regard to movies produced entirely by AI. AI is a great tool for producing images that would be impossible otherwise, and these can enhance a video production. However, with AI no camera is used to create images, so they are all artificial even though they may appear very realis...

Thanks, Dave and Howard.
When I have decided on my length of stay and mode of transport, I'll take your advice and use Trivago or another. The prices I found were from booking on the Premier Inn website for a weekend in March, just to see what the price was like.

Yes, Albert, a lot has happened since we were in regular contact. I'm keeping quite well despite a few medical issues. My wife was very ill from mid 2022 and died last July from pancreatic cancer. So, I have been out of touch for some time. This forum has now taken the place of the on-line community...

Talking about making BIAFF more attractive, I wonder if Birmingham is the right location. I've just been looking at what it might cost me to attend this year. The cheapest hotel in the area, Premier Inn, would charge me about £300 for two nights, and doesn't include any food. Car parking for 48 hour...

I like it, Martin. Well laid out and easy to read. Quality of illustrations excellent. One slight niggle; I'm not keen on script written over background images, as on pages 4, 5, 12, 13, 14, 15, 28 to 35. Other than that, for me, it's excellent.

Hi Roy,
Are you still having problems with Magix ? I have used it for many years and may be able to help.

Coming into this discussion a bit late, as I have only recently joined the forum (shame !). I too enjoyed the BIAFF weekend, not always agreeing with the film ratings, of course. That's the nature of this art form. One thing that I find does detract from the enjoyment of a film is sub-titles. Also, ...
