"You can use your own model to remove the wires on stunts, reframe a shot, get a shot you missed, shape the lighting, enhance the backgrounds. InterPositive's technology helps filmmakers to build their own, proprietary AI models based on the scenes they've already shot, and then use that data to help solve otherwise laborious details."
"Despite his tech interests, Affleck has expressed a desire to keep humans at the center of the creative process. He is among the hundreds of Hollywood insiders to sign on to the Creators Coalition on AI. The group, established late last year, describes itself as a central hub for cross-industry discussions about how AI is impacting the entertainment industry."
Netflix has acquired InterPositive, an AI-powered filmmaking technology company founded by Ben Affleck, for an undisclosed amount. The technology allows filmmakers to create proprietary AI models based on their existing footage to streamline post-production work, including removing wires from stunts, reframing shots, recovering missed footage, adjusting lighting, and enhancing backgrounds. Affleck has joined Netflix as a senior advisor. This acquisition follows a major multi-year partnership between Netflix and Affleck's production company Artists Equity with Matt Damon, granting Netflix first access to their streaming-focused projects. Despite his technology investments, Affleck remains committed to keeping humans central to creative processes and has joined the Creators Coalition on AI, which facilitates industry discussions about AI's impact on entertainment.
