Adobe Invites Creators to Remix and Complete "The Unfinished Film" with AI-Powered Firefly
Adobe has launched a groundbreaking project, inviting creators to finish an unfinished film called The Unfinished Film. The film, which features scientifically impossible scenes such as upside-down cities and flying taxis, is now open for creators to put their own spin on the story, create the ending, or remix and reshape what the original director started.
Adobe's AI-powered tool, Firefly, is at the heart of this innovative project. Firefly is a free software that enables users to generate and edit images, video, and audio using AI models trained on licensed content. With Firefly, creators can generate videos from simple text prompts or animate still images with dynamic motion, while also applying diverse visual styles like claymation or anime.
One of the creators who has taken up the challenge is Simen Cohen, a creative director. Another is Keenan Lam, a filmmaker and content creator. Hillary K. Grigonis, who leads the US coverage for Digital Camera World and has more than a decade of experience writing about cameras and technology, is also among those who have remixed the film. Hillary is a licensed drone pilot and a former Nikon shooter, currently using Fujifilm.
Adobe provides the original file for creators to use with Firefly, allowing them to upload existing footage as a composition reference. This feature lets users maintain visual consistency and flow while creatively editing or extending the film. They can describe their vision with text prompts, apply style presets, and enhance or replace elements dynamically.
Firefly's AI database is built using licensed content, making it safe for commercial use. The software is available to download on the iOS App Store, Google Play Store, and online. Adobe Firefly is designed to provide a comprehensive AI-assisted toolkit for creators, supporting the finishing and localizing of films with its ability to generate sound effects and translate audio and video.
Every AI-generated content from Firefly uses Content Credentials with an AI label. This ensures that the origin of the content is transparent and traceable, providing a level of accountability in the creative process.
Adobe has also reached out to four creators to share their takes on remixing the film as inspiration. Hillary K. Grigonis covers the best video editing software and teaches about recognizing AI-generated photos, making her an ideal choice for this project.
The film also mixes flashes of different styles, from animation to black-and-white sketches. This opens up a world of possibilities for creators, who can experiment with various visual styles to bring their unique vision to life.
In summary, Adobe Firefly offers creators a powerful tool to remix and finish "The Unfinished Film." With its AI video generation from text or reference input, advanced video controls for consistent composition, stylistic treatments, and sound effect generation, creators can enhance and expand the film’s narrative and visual quality with minimal manual effort and maximum creative control.
