Just launched my new short film: Re…fresh…ing… (~8 min). A worn riverside tavern. A crew of stubborn old sailors. And one brass "Smart Waiter" robot that has read your profile, analyzed your liver, and politely refuses to pour you a beer. It's a steampunk comedy about the day artificial intelligence came to the pub, started "optimizing the database," and discovered that progress is a thing a man can roll back with a glass of water. Based on a short story by Erdős Sándor. Directed by me, Valics Lehel. The twist: it's an anti-AI film, and I made it, with full awareness of the irony, using AI. Voices, images and motion were all generated. So the film is both the joke and the proof of the joke. How it was made (for those curious about the pipeline): - Frames: Nano Banana Pro - Motion/video: Seedance 2.0 + kie.ai (Gemini Omni), plus Kling motion-transfer for the fight beats - Voices: ElevenLabs - Edit/grade: Premiere The hardest part by far was the fight scene — AI really struggles with believable physical combat, so I ended up driving it with real motion references and a "hologram" gag that turns the AI's weaknesses into the joke. Honest feedback welcome, good or brutal. And I'm curious: if an AI waiter refused to serve you and recommended lemon water instead… what would you have ordered? 🍺

Finished another - Partial 07. Less than a week, which is an improvement for me. Maybe I'll finish the project after all.

On the man in the red jacket and the robot looking at him. The robot is only a hologram, it is not physically there. The man in the red jacket wants to punch him, he winds up, he strikes, but because the robot is not physically there, only a hologram, his fist passes through the robot and the man in the red jacket loses his balance and falls. I need some ideas :) I cannot "punch" through the air.
