Season 1 is such a formative season for XENA. I mean it builds up the entire world and introduces us to the characters. But there's like very little behind-the-scenes footage for that season. No interviews, no audio/video commentaries, no "on the set" featurettes. It's a very bare season and I think it's because they never planned for it to be the cultural phenomenon it became so nothing was ever added to the DVDs until they went back on it later for the 10th anniversary. Lucy and Renee did an audio commentary for the pilot episode 'Sins Of The Past' and there was some cast/crew interviews filmed for it.

It's just really odd though when it comes to watching the exclusive content because every other season is just crammed to the max.

But Season 1 is just like crumbs. They had to go back a decade later just to provide some valuable stuff for the fans to actually chew on.

I think though between all the box sets I have, I have the most comprehensive collection of exclusive made footage/featurettes.

I'm pretty sure I have all of the cast/crew interviews and audio/video commentaries. Including the only audio one for 'Sins Of The Past'. There is a fair few. I won't lie. These box sets are fucking loaded. I'm up to ripping the DVDs for Season 6 now and there's already a lot.

I've got 8 days off to get all off this content ripped to my MacBook.

If there's anything specific you guys want to see, I'll upload on here.

Here's my long ass list:

This is missing Season 6 content 'cause I'm ripping it at the moment.

A message to creators from us. Stop rushing so much. Breathe if you can and your creativity will flourish. This message will be up on spotify soon under Audistorium if you'd like to listen there! Transcript:

Hello, I’m Lemon, and the strangest thing I have found as a creator is this need to constantly produce. To never stop this grind to make the next thing stuck in our heads. And while it’s great that you have all of this drive, remember to think about yourself. It’s called a grind for a reason. It wears you down. I haven’t always been the best about that. Sometimes I feel like if I’m not creating and putting something out I’m just wasting my time. However, that could not be further from the truth. I’m taking the time to breathe. If you don’t let the wind brush against your face and appreciate the world you’ve cultivated around you, are you really living? You’re not a machine with the sole purpose of creating entertainment, we just like what you make. Even if you’re not actually outside, take the time to appreciate your life and those in it, whether that’s spending time with buddies in person or on the internet, or the respite of a cozy night at home eating your favorite foods. 

You have to remember to live. You can make people laugh with the mic turned off, too. I know the joys it can bring to put out something new and listen to the excitement of your viewers. It’s like a fire is lit under you every time. But what’s next? Nose to the grindstone once more? I used to do that. Then I realized that there is not a soul rushing me to get more done than what is feasible, and no one should be pushing you. Creativity has no pace. Artwork sometimes takes a great many hours. Who says you can’t stop and take a moment to appreciate what you’ve done for just as long as it took to make it? Even if not for just as long, remember to at least thank yourself. You know what you put in to do that, and you did it. You made something. Somebody saw it. They took the time to appreciate it. So you can too.

streamer era????

so i may have fallen down a slippery rabbit hole. i did a stream on twitch today after figuring out how it worked last night, and i streamed for six hours. so if any of you want to see my madness and not-quite-yet refined social skills and awkward jokes as i play games or chat, my user is @euphoniious_ on twitch. i will start recording the streams maybe and putting them up on there? if i continue and remember streaming exists. ill get some clips to post somewhere too. cant believe im actually trying this. and i dont have a paypal so i cannot get paid, slight sadness. bu whatever im doing it for fun.

speaking of, im not great at a lot of the games i play. im not a cracked gamer or anything, im just trying to have fun. so i hope we can have some fun?

i also might react... to shows or something... beause if i have the curse of needing to talk througn things and say my thoughts out, but as well get traction for it?

narrative film editing is highkey the hardest kind of editing because everything is shot out of order and a huge part of the process is just sorting through chunks of footage, syncing audio, and figuring out where they good and watching them all the way through to see which takes are best and it takes forever. and if you're narrative editing for a small budget project you're probably also the one doing audio editing and finding music and making graphics and stuff. but it's also so rewarding to take the discordant pile of footage you're handed and making it into something that makes sense, and is maybe even good or compelling!

non-narrative editing such as youtube videos or educational content is easier on its face because it's generally recorded chronologically and in large chunks of dialogue with one or two people. but youtube editing can be a lot more fun than narrative editing because the style of the editor is foregrounded more, rather than narrative editing trying to be invisible, comedic youtube editing allows for jump cuts and graphics and silly sound effects that can make the process more engaging to edit and feel like less of a background role.

So,

We are Peach Thxory Productions. We’re a content creation & media company. We curated this event for the holidays with The Senses Lab, an organization at Syracuse University dedicated to making music creation accessible to students.

We produced this event, mixed the audio, and recorded the video.

Give it a listen.

Thank you so much for your continued support as Andy, Georgia and Miles head into 2024 with this venture.

7 Applications of AI Video in the Entertainment Industry - Technology Org

7 Applications of AI Video in the Entertainment Industry - Technology Org

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various industries, and the entertainment sector is no exception. In recent years, AI has found numerous applications in video production, enhancing creativity, efficiency, and audience engagement. From video editing to content recommendation, AI-driven technologies are transforming the way we create, distribute, and consume entertainment content. In this article, we will explore seven exciting applications of generative AI video in the entertainment industry.

Video Editing and Post-Production

One of the most prominent applications of AI in the entertainment industry is in video editing and post-production. AI-powered editing tools can analyze video footage to automatically select the best shots, correct color and lighting, and even add special effects. For instance, Adobe’s Premiere Pro offers AI-powered features like Auto Reframe, which automatically adjusts the aspect ratio of videos for different platforms, saving creators valuable time.

Deepfake Technology

Deepfake technology, which uses AI algorithms to superimpose one person’s face onto another’s body, has garnered significant attention in the entertainment industry. While controversial, deepfakes have been used in movies and TV shows to recreate the likeness of actors who are no longer available or to de-age actors. This technology allows filmmakers to create realistic digital people and characters, opening up new creative possibilities.

Personalized Content Recommendation

AI-driven recommendation algorithms have become a staple in the entertainment industry, helping platforms like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube suggest content tailored to individual preferences. These algorithms analyze users’ viewing habits, likes, and dislikes to recommend movies, TV shows, and music that align with their tastes. This personalized content recommendation not only enhances user experience but also keeps viewers engaged for longer periods, increasing platform revenue.

Virtual Production

AI video is also revolutionizing virtual production techniques. Filmmakers can now use AI-driven tools to create realistic virtual sets and environments. This technology allows for more cost-effective and efficient filmmaking, as it eliminates the need for physical sets and on-location shoots. Additionally, it enables real-time visualization of scenes, empowering directors and actors to make instant creative decisions.

Video Restoration and Enhancement

AI algorithms are invaluable in restoring and enhancing old or damaged video footage. Whether it’s restoring classic films or enhancing historical footage, AI-driven tools can significantly improve the quality of visuals and audio. This not only preserves valuable cultural artifacts but also offers a new way to experience old content with modern clarity and vibrancy.

Content Creation and Generation

AI-generated content is gaining traction in the entertainment industry. AI systems can analyze trends, generate scripts, and even compose music. OpenAI’s GPT-3, for example, has been used to write articles, stories, and dialogues for video games. While AI-generated content is not replacing human creativity, it can be a valuable tool for generating ideas and streamlining content creation processes.

Audience Engagement and Interaction

AI is enhancing audience engagement in various entertainment forms, including interactive videos, virtual reality experiences, and augmented reality games. Interactive storytelling powered by AI allows viewers to make choices that impact the narrative, creating personalized experiences. Virtual reality and augmented reality experiences are also made more immersive and interactive with AI, providing audiences with captivating and engaging entertainment options.

AI video technology is reshaping the entertainment industry in remarkable ways. From video editing and deepfake technology to personalized content recommendation and virtual production, AI is enhancing creativity and efficiency throughout the production process. Additionally, AI is contributing to the preservation and enhancement of historical content and generating new forms of creative expression. As AI continues to evolve, we can expect even more exciting applications in the entertainment industry, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of video and media. It’s an exciting time for both creators and audiences as AI-driven innovations continue to transform the entertainment landscape.
