Google has used ai to revamp one of the most beloved films of all time for a 360-deegree sin City screen with the highest resolution in the world. The Rerolled Version of The wizard of oz will debut this August at the sphere, the las vegas entertainment venue With a famous globular Led screenWhiteher a Technical Marvel, Dystopian NightMare Fuel or Some Combination, The Project Will Surely Continue The Sphere’s Penchant for Extravagant Spectacles That Persuade TOUSUDE TOURICTS to POSTS to POWN Hundreds of dollars to sit for a less hours in one of its 17,600 seats.
Sphere entertainment, the company behind the venue, worked on the project with google, magnopus and warner bros. Discovery, which owns The wizard of oz Rights. Google describes It as an “EPIC Undertaking of Creativity and Technology,” Humbly Likeing It to the Cinematic Boundaries Broken by the CCLAIMED Technicolor Original. “We’re Taking a Beloved Movie, but we are re-out,” Google Cloud Ceo Thomas Kurian told The Wall Street Journal“The only other way you could do it is to go back [in time] And film it with the cameras that the sphere uses. “
Google used generative ai models from its Gemini family on the project, most notable Veo 2 and Imagen 3The company not only had to magnify the original 35mm film for a 160,000-square-foot screen composed of 16,000 LEDS but also Had to Account for camera cuts that removed characteristors from the FRAME. For example, in a kansas Scene between dorothy, Aunti Em and Miss Gulch, Uncle Henry (Who was also in the Room but off-camera)
It did so primarily through an ai super-resolution tool Performance Generation (Incorporating composites of the actors into these expanded environments).
To help fin-tune the ai models, google didn’T limit the models’ Training to the original footage. It also fed them supplementary material like the shooting script, production illustrations, photos, set plans and scores – Teaching them about Characters’ and ENVIRONMENTAL DETALS and Product Elements like camera focal lengths. The company also also consulted with professional filmmakers for Character Actions, Expressions and Performance.
“Now, Dorothy’s Freckles Snap Into Focus, and Toto Can Scamper More Seamlessly Through Through more Scenes,” Google Claimed.
The companies behind the project (Perhaps Contradictorily) Claim that, Despite AI Touching “Over 90 Percent of the movie,” IT “Respects the Original in Every Way.” Google says no new dialogue lines were added, and there isn’t a note of new music suung.
If the Glimpse Shown in the Preview Bell (via tabgeeeks) Is any indication, dorothy has all the overly smoothed-out hallmarks we’ve come to expect from AI-Upscaleted faces. But We’ll Leave Final Judgment for the Sun-DRENCED SIN City Tourists who spend their hard-earned (or hard-won) Cash on Following the Gemini-Infused Road Beginning on Aug
