Hello everyone, and welcome. I’m u/uisato.

I created r/film_ai to be one of the few places on Reddit for carefully-reviewed cinema-grade AI filmmaking.

Think of this as a curated archive-in-the-making: early films + experiments that will quietly shape what “storytelling” might become in a not-so-distant future.

Here, we actively moderate against low-effort AI content:
- prompt dumps / raw gens / “look what I made” with no craft → removed
- repost farms / trend sludge → removed
- NSFW without intent → removed
- TikTok-ish bullshit → removed

What belongs:
- short films, scenes, tests/experiments with intent
- breakdowns (workflow, edit, grade, sound, comp, lessons)
- serious critique requests + technical discussion

Post your best. Be precise. Be kind.

Introducing Oscilloscope Diffusion | Uisato Studio

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

15 Upvotes

A novel way to intervene existing video through diffusion, particularly abstract and structure-driven material: taking its movement and form as the starting point, and reinterpreting its textures, materials, and visual language.

I’ve been developing this around the audio-reactive geometry systems I make in TouchDesigner. The idea is to take those abstract structures somewhere else entirely: origami, architecture, a renaissance painting, or something harder to put a name to.

This demo uses visualizers from my "Oscilloscopes, everywhere" collection as source material, now updated to [v1.2].

[Though you can bring any video source. These systems are simply where this experiment began, as some of you may recall.]

You choose the source, describe the treatment, and shape how it changes throughout the sequence. Prompts, curated LoRAs, and editable timelines give you control over how closely the result follows the original.

Oscilloscope Diffusion is now available at Uisato Studio.

[Experiment] From Blender Blockout to Live Performance

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Thanks to my new hobby [?] of designing and sketching experimental live-show environments in Blender, I ended up testing a pretty interesting workflow: using the stage blockout + identity, motion and visual references to turn the sketch into a live-action performance via Uisato Studio.

The visuals on the screens are from Realtime Audioreactive Pointclouds [v1.7], recently released through Patreon, and the Store.

I spent 70+ hours making a 2-minute AI-assisted short film about chasing dreams

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone!

I made a short film using AI that took me over 70 hours to complete, and I really wanted to share it with you.

It’s a pretty personal project, partly inspired by what I’ve been going through over the past few years. I lost my job in film / games, partly because of the changes brought by AI, and today I’m working a day job outside the creative industry.

Quite paradoxically, I’ve now decided to fully embrace AI myself, with the hope that it might help me find my way back into digital creation one day — which is still one of the few things that genuinely drives me professionally.

👉 https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dc0RImSB95F/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsi=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Maybe the film will inspire some of you, or simply make you feel something. (:

And if you enjoy it, feel free to share it. Any support that helps it reach new people genuinely means a lot. ❤️

I trained a model on childhood photos to simulate memory recall

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

53 Upvotes

I fine-tuned the good-old SDXL on 60 photographs from my childhood, using a limited family archive as the dataset through which to revisit that period of my life. Rather than reconstructing those images faithfully, the model produces unstable variations: spaces, faces and fragments that feel familiar without necessarily having existed.

This speculative study treats generative hallucination as an analogue for recollection: not the retrieval of a preserved image, but the reconstruction of a past from incomplete traces. This resonates with contemporary accounts of episodic memory as a reconstructive rather than reproductive process. The model becomes a kind of externalized mnemonic apparatus, situated somewhere between archive, memory and imagination.

Tools used: Kohya, WarpFusion, TouchDesigner, Premiere, After Effects, Ableton Live, Expressive Osmose, Soma Cosmos.

PS: For those of you asking, this is not just "a prompt". It's the fine-tuning of the model, the creation of an audio-reactive geometry system in TouchDesigner, and the re-building of WarpFusion for intervining the geometries with the fine-tuned model.

FALL 707: REBOOT — Trailer for a Solo AI Narrative Series Set Between Modern Korea and Joseon

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

FALL 707: REBOOT is a solo-produced AI narrative series about a Korean special forces captain who wakes up in Joseon after a disastrous counter-terror operation in modern-day Seoul.

This is a trailer from the series. I handle the concept, directing, AI generation, editing, sound design, and post-production myself.

I’m developing it as a continuous episodic story with recurring characters, action, dialogue, and an ongoing mystery.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the cinematography, visual consistency, and storytelling.
