Not looking pretty. Sustained winds of 120 miles per hour. Rain throughout the day. It s not hurricane force, but is that weather impacting the search? you know, it s quite a blessing that elsa did move to the west and so we are not getting those outer bands any more today, jim. We did get some yesterday, but even though there was pouring rain, even though there were some wind gusts, these brave men and women continue to sift through the rubble, looking for survivors. According to officials, they only took breaks when some of the lightning was very dangerous. But as you were mentioning, the big point that officials are making today is that they have access to 100% of that site. Because of the portion of the building that was still standing before the demolition, they couldn t access a third of that area. Well, now, for more than 24 hours they have actually been able to look for survivors in that entire section according to the fire chief, they continued to delayer which means they re g
Meteorologist bill karins to give us an update on elsa. If we have to cut off i ll spare you guys and go over to the press conference but talk us through, vaughn, any updates we know so far early this morning. Reporter: good morning, yasmin, we re awaiting the press conference slated to start at any minute including mayor cava as very wait for updated numbers and how the search and rescue operation went overnight. The weather stopped the operation twice last night particularly because of lightning that was here just off of the surfside shore. You can also see in video from last night when the first outer banks of tropical storm elsa struck here in surfside, you saw high gusts of winds and downpour of rain. You can see those workers trying to work through it. We ve been told by the officials here that rain would not be a damper on this particular effort, but that if the winds were too exceed 30 miles per hour, they would have to stop their operation. Again, we know that at least the ope
who s a creative director from visual effects house framestore, now, it s important to remember always when you re dealing with this kind of stuff, that the ai doesn t understand what it s drawing. and actually that s what gives it its unique, quirky animation style. and actually that s what gives it its unique, quirky animation style. you can see in that robot there, the controls on the front, all the buttons are rippling and glitching. yeah. it can t keep them consistent over the number of frames you ve animated it. so thatjust seems to be part of the thing where it doesn t necessarily understand what needs to stay the same in the animation. funnily enough, actually, there s a moment where the girl robot spins her head around, and that was something that itjust did serendipitously. i didn t ask for that, and itjust did it. i mean, it s one of the interesting things about this, the sort of serendipitous nature of it giving you something unexpected, which is also part of the
this week, nick s getting into his trunks to find out what a phone can do for a forest. now i ve just completed another survey injust under a minute. we ll find out what lara s thinking as she immerses herself in culture. i know what i m looking at now, but how do i feel? and less than two years after ai took up art, is it ready for hollywood? spencer s getting his big trailer voice ready. the ai will listen to the audio. deep trailer voice: ..and generate me a new one. jazz music plays this is the tinpot jazz orchestra. it lasts less than a minute, but it is a charming, glitchy, cartoon like production created using generative ai video tools. now, this means that the characters weren t designed by illustrators and animators. instead, they were described in english to an ai, which then created them itself. the film was made by william bartlett, who s a creative director from visual effects house framestore, and who, like a lot of generative ai creators at the moment, put it t
the characters weren t designed by illustrators and animators. instead, they were described in english to an ai, which then created them itself. the film was made by william bartlett, who s a creative director from visual effects house framestore, and who, like a lot of generative ai creators at the moment, put it together in his spare time. it started off life as a test. and i wanted to do a test that was more elaborate than just a couple of shots. i wanted to try and string together something which had a bit of narrative to try and drive the kind of ambition of the shots. will actually had to use different generative ai tools for different parts of the process. first, he asked midjourney to come up with some still images of the kind of characters that he wanted. and so i might describe a sort of vintage tin robot playing a trumpet, for example, and then you get a kind of set of images to choose from that you might or might not like. and the great thing is that it takes abou
