So you sat in a room with Marty Scorsese

0:02

and showed him your tools.

0:04

>> Exactly, yeah.

0:05

>> And what was his reaction?

0:07

>> Yes, clearly

0:09

um a a vision in his head

0:11

of like a scene or

0:14

a scenery where like maybe a a new movie

0:17

um will be shot.

0:19

And he's trying to explore that and kind

0:20

of like um we we we basically looked at

0:23

the scenery of like a village in Eastern

0:25

Europe somewhere and he was describing

0:27

it. We saw some outputs, we iterated on

0:29

the outputs.

0:31

Um and ultimately I think and that's

0:33

what he said in the end is like the like

0:35

getting like the mental picture of

0:37

something out of your head and

0:38

communicating it in a visual way

0:40

by making like these images

0:43

um or the series of images um

0:46

is something that it just makes it like

0:48

easier to communicate and convey convey

0:50

like an idea of like what is actually in

0:51

your head and I think that's like one of

0:53

the like very interesting and powerful

0:55

ways to use this technology. And I think

0:57

ultimately

0:58

>> Is to get the inspiration to get the

1:01

vision out of his head

1:03

onto an image.

1:04

>> Yeah, I mean like language ultimately is

1:06

like a little bit of like a lossy um

1:09

communication medium, right?

1:11

>> Yeah.

1:11

>> Um it's also interpreted in different

1:13

ways, but then visual information is so

1:15

rich so rich

1:17

like an an image or video there's so

1:18

much signal in it and it's just like

1:20

another way of communicating. And I

1:23

think that's like one of the beautiful

1:24

things that this technology ultimately

1:26

enables
