First All-Artificial Feature Film Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-takes-some-work dept.

Hugh "Nomad" Hancock writes "Machinima.com have just released the DVD version of Killer Robot, award-winning filmmaker Peter Rasmussen's buddy movie about two mining robots who set out to protect their "meat-sack" masters from a master mining robot gone insane. The twist here is not only that it's Machinima, made in 3D Game Studio, but that even the actor's voices are computer-generated using programs like Festival, making this possibly the world's first all-artificial movie."

    100% artificial? Really? So it was written by an AI, produced by robots, and distributed by that new IA64 virus? Impressive.

  2. "All-Artificial"? by grouchomarxist · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I think this is just one step towards "all-artificial". The real big step will be when the story is written by a computer.

    And the bots that built the bots were built by bots...

    hmm, I see a problem here.

    ...I'll be impressed when the computers not only *speak* the dialogue, but actually *write* the screenplay!

    :-P
