AI in Hollywood: Crowd-created film allows fans to design generative art, work with studio on creative process

OneDoor Studios CMO Dan Cobb discusses the adaption of the YA series'Calculated.' A Hollywood film studio is leveraging a new real-time design and artist development process to adapt a popular young adult (YA) series, including an industry-first application of artificial intelligence (AI) that gives fans and artists active input in creating character design, sets and special effects. Dan Cobb, the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of OneDoor Studios, said development is underway on "Calculated," an adaption of the YA sci-fi series by Nova McBee. On a mission to become the "World's First Fan-Funded and Fan-Created Film Studio," Cobb and his team have developed a relationship with AI artists on the WeGo.One's Discord channel. The artists, who are required to have deep knowledge of the source material, liaise with investors and the author to spawn images using MidJourney V5 Pro and a combination of other similar generative image technologies to build the film's storyboard, enhance concept art and develop shot lists.
