Mariana Acuna Acosta talking about world models @aionthelot @Da_VFX_Chick
Catch me at #AIOTL May 28, 3PM talking World Models & Real-Time #VFX w/ Prem Akkaraju, Jules Urbach & Alberto Taiuti. Mod: Dana Harris-Bridson. #GenerativeAI See you there!
Hell yes! You go @MetaPuppet !!
Put Google Flow Tools in the hands of creatives, and what do you get? “Personalization at a global scale,” according to @MetaPuppet. Alongside MetaPuppet, we partnered with five incredible creatives to build custom Tools for you to explore, including @poetengineer__ and
Google Search as you know it is over. The familiar blue links we’ve seen for 25 years are getting pushed out in favor of an “intelligent search box,” which Google is putting front and center as part of its all-in push for AI-powered experiences. The box will expand to accommodate for longer queries, and suggestions will be much more extensive versions of the autocomplete we’ve all seen in the search bar. On top of all that, “information agents” are planned to release this summer, allowing you to track changes made to sites, whether it’s product prices or news updates, and alert you without any prompting.

The future of #AIproduction pipelines will not belong to companies locked into a single model, or workflow. The winners will be the teams building modular, flexible, agnostic systems that can evolve as fast as the industry does.

We’re excited to announce that AI on the Lot 2026 will take place at the Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios lot in Culver City.
PI HARD!
Disturbingly entertaining. [Video: 2m 20s] youtube.com/watch?v=CNbmoV…
Day 2 went technical. ◾️Dispersed case studies - @mhxalt @ManifestNetwork & three of their partners + the Robyn Dawes Institute ◾️Miniatures to machine learning - @CamilleBalsamo @Da_VFX_Chick @promise_ai + Ethan Teller ◾️Concept to finished work - @wes_cream & Barton Damer @AlreadyBnChewed ◾️Gaussian splats - @SpenserFX & @AndreyLebrov ◾️VFX pipelines on @rendernetwork - @AndreyLebrov ◾️Production to render - @JonathanWinbush @eyedesyn @yo_brilly ◾️AI in @Blender - Steven Scott ◾️Virtual production - Alex Pearce ◾️Spatial/Immersive 3D - @KyleGordonart
The tools we use for world building have evolved through the years. The reasons we build them have not. I'm thrilled to be speaking tomorrow on the "From Miniatures to Machine Learning" panel at #RenderCon. We will be talking about filmmaking and next-gen technology.
Promise's VP of Product, Mariana Acuña Acosta, recently joined UCLA’s AI Summit to discuss how hybrid workflows that combine traditional filmmaking and GenAI are shaping the future of film production. @Da_VFX_Chick
Developing stories in the age of AI starts the same way it always has: with a great script. Our Head of Development, Tyler Mitchell, shares thoughts on development, collaboration, and why story still comes first in this new video below. And see link to his blog in the comments.
I could not agree more with @KristynaArcher POV: “We cast #AI as the main character. We anthropomorphized it, then wrote it as the villain. That choice reveals more about us than it does about AI. We assigned it agency, intention, presence.”
The future is hybrid, #AI is already here for workflows, automation and tools but it takes significant skill to deploy in a way that resonates with audiences. In this panel session, we will go through what it takes to be on the front lines! @promise_ai
So proud to be part of @promise_ai , leading #Technology and driving the evolution of MUSE, our hybrid production pipeline and studio OS.
One year ago today, we launched Promise because we believed generative technology could expand opportunities for filmmakers everywhere. Today, that shift is real. The tools have advanced, new storytellers are emerging, and studios across the industry are exploring how GenAI
This is Enter The Closet My first AI short film made collectively with some of my favorite AI artists and some new faces. I prompted the narrative and asked the AI community to help me visualize the world. This was a fun experimental exercise and I hope to do more in the future. Many tools were used across all 23+ artists including Google Veo 3.1, Nano Banana, Adobe Firefly, Sora 2 Pro, Elevenlabs, Topaz, Luma Ray 3, Kling 2.5, Hailuo 2.3 and more... I'll let them chime in on specific tools used.
So proud of the work we are delivering! #AdobeFirefly #HybridTech #GFX
We're thrilled to share the behind-the-scenes of "My Friend, Zeph" - a new short from Dave Clark, launched this week at #AdobeMax. The film is a tender story about connection between past and present, memory and imagination. Using @AdobeFirefly, Dave brought the film to life
@Diesol presenting #AIinfilmmaking behind the scenes, at @adobemax watch “My friend Zeph” in an hour at Creator Stage! @promise_ai
Still buzzing from our @Techweek_ by @a16z event! ⚡️ Big thanks to everyone who came out, and to Albert Cheng from Amazon MGM for an incredible conversation with @gstrompolos about how AI is shaping the future of creativity. The ideas, the energy, the people...what a night!
Heading to Adobe MAX next week to share my latest short film… a project that explores how AI can amplify creativity and open up new ways to tell stories. @promise_ai See you there! #AdobeMax
