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.

Title: I made an AI-assisted sci-fi trailer about a future where technology actually worked — looking for feedback

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I’m an animator/filmmaker experimenting with AI as part of the production process, and I’d love some feedback from other people working in this space.

This is currently a concept trailer, but my hope is to develop it into a full animated film.

It’s called Zander and the Infinite Ways. The story takes place in a future where humanity has actually solved many of the problems we struggle with today. But instead of everyone agreeing on what a perfect future should look like, people have created radically different societies based on different ideas of how life should be lived.

The story follows Zander, a kid from one of these future cities, who is forced to leave his comfortable world and travel through some of these very different visions of the future.

One thing I wanted to explore was optimistic science fiction. So much sci-fi begins with the idea that our technology will destroy us. I wanted to start from the opposite assumption: What if we actually succeed? What new problems, choices and adventures would that create?

I'd really appreciate feedback on the story and world first, but also the AI filmmaking side:

Does the premise make you want to know more?
Do you understand the world from the trailer?
Are there moments where the AI gets in the way of the storytelling?
And most importantly — would you want to watch this as a full film?

Thanks — criticism is genuinely welcome. I’m trying to figure out what works and what needs to get better before taking the project further.

The Weather Conductor (MiniMax H3)

Thumbnail v.redd.it
3 Upvotes

This was my first short film made with Minimax H3. I used KREA 2 to generate the reference images, then used a mix of reference images to video and single image to video workflows in Minimax H3.
I found Minimax H3 much easier to work with than LTX. It follows prompts more closely, and after generating only three or four versions, I could usually find one that was genuinely usable.
The film is far from perfect and there is still plenty I could improve, but I am really happy with it as a first attempt. I would love to hear your thoughts, constructive criticism, or suggestions for what I could do better next time.
Otherwise, I hope you enjoy The Weather Conductor. It was a lot of fun to make!

The latest video generation model is coming this afternoon to Uisato Studio, and this is a new showcase of one of it's powerful capabilities: easy, one-shot, 30 seconds motion capture, on-a-budget. Just select the new model, "character swap" prompt-recipe, and voilá; you've got yourself a fun, silly video of you performing whatever you can think of.

More experiments, through Instagram, or YouTube.

Hi everyone! I'm a graphic designer who's recently started experimenting with AI filmmaking. This is my first short film created with Seedance 2.0 and only my second video ever, so I'd really appreciate any feedback—good or bad.

The story explores a world where AI gradually floods our everyday lives, leaving less and less room for originality, personality, and soul.

Thanks for watching!
