• 7 Commandments of Film Editing and composition

    ,

     

    1. Watch every frame of raw footage twice. On the second time, take notes. If you don’t do this and try to start developing a scene premature, then it’s a big disservice to yourself and to the director, actors and production crew.

     

    2. Nurture the relationships with the director. You are the secondary person in the relationship. Be calm and continually offer solutions. Get the main intention of the film as soon as possible from the director.

     

    3. Organize your media so that you can find any shot instantly.

     

    4. Factor in extra time for renders, exports, errors and crashes.

     

    5. Attempt edits and ideas that shouldn’t work. It just might work. Until you do it and watch it, you won’t know. Don’t rule out ideas just because they don’t make sense in your mind.

     

    6. Spend more time on your audio. It’s the glue of your edit. AUDIO SAVES EVERYTHING. Create fluid and seamless audio under your video.

     

    7. Make cuts for the scene, but always in context for the whole film. Have a macro and a micro view at all times.

    Stable Diffusion is a latent diffusion model that generates AI images from text. Instead of operating in the high-dimensional image space, it first compresses the image into the latent space.

    Stable Diffusion belongs to a class of deep learning models called diffusion models. They are generative models, meaning they are designed to generate new data similar to what they have seen in training. In the case of Stable Diffusion, the data are images.

    Why is it called the diffusion model? Because its math looks very much like diffusion in physics. Let’s go through the idea.
