cmon... this is so fun. Prompt here if you want to steal it: Continuous shot with no scene cuts. Camera is traveling forward between trees kanopes and different things are on the tree branches. The light is low, it comes through tall trees and the foliage of leaves casts an interesting patterned shadow and light on to the scene. First we see a tamarin monkey looking very close to the lens, mostly it's face is visible and on of the hand trying to reach through the lens, then a man on his laptop in brown suit and yellow ties with red baseball hat, then a yellow giant snake around a branch, we see the texture of the snake and it's wet skin from a macro view. Then an orangutan taking a selfie then lanterns hanging from the branches then a bunch an area where fluffy clouds mixing with the tree leafs where a plane wreck is smoking and slightly on fire. Handheld documentary style. Natural camera shake. Raw indie film aesthetic. Heavy grain. Natural lighting only. Unpolished, authentic look. Low budget realism. Observational feel.

I’m officially coining demarcoing: the art of making nonsense you love that no one else needs to understand. Based on Mac DeMarco describing his music process. Demarcoing: garbage to the world, gold to me.

I don't understand how anyone can be impressed by this. Okay, wow, a machine flickered some photographs together fast enough to trick your eye into seeing movement. Okay, splendid. The fundamental problem with these moving pictures — and why I will never be interested in a cinematograph show, no matter how clever the illusions become — is that I simply have no interest in the stories a machine tells. I don't want to watch a projector's story any more than I want to sit and listen to a phonograph tell me about its hopes and dreams. If the story has no soul behind it, no living actor before you breathing the words, no stage, no real theater — then it lacks the one and only thing that can make it worthwhile or interesting.

We've been working closely with NVIDIA to build the next generation of frontier models, which we debut today: our family of General World Models. We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Jensen and his team. To celebrate, Jensen sent us a special holiday message. Hope you enjoy 🐶🎄

Can AI dance and choreograph? Yes. Yes, it can. I had a song stuck in my head last morning, and before noon, I managed to get it out by making this music video. From idea to execution, it was created in a single morning with Runway. Good ideas don’t need big budgets. Just great storytelling.

Introducing 1stAI Machine, the first physical device for video editing generated by AI. "we anticipate that the quality of videos will soon match that of photos. At that point, anyone will be able to create movies without the need for a camera, lights, or actors; they will simply interact with the AIs. A tool like 1stAI Machine anticipates that moment by exploring tangible interfaces that enhance creativity." A creation of SpecialGuestX for 1stAveMachine Powered by Runway

The Vending Machine Paradox: When all constraints are removed, decisions might become harder, not easier. A machine like Gen-4.5 that can give you anything forces you to confront what you actually want. Something most people have never clearly defined.

Last week we debuted our new real-time video agents with one of the hardest demos possible: live television. The BBC is now using Runway Characters to augment segments of their programming. Wild to see this live. So excited for all the new possible applications to come.

The fact that you can create a video like this in just a few minutes is pretty insane and magical. Anyone can place themselves into any world they want, real or imagined, instantly and soon in real time. The Moore's law of generative AI was right: the quality, resolution, and control of models doubles about every year.

The new Gen 4.5 update feels like an incredible unlock, especially for narrative work and consistency across scenes. Whenever I test new models internally, I find that the best way to evaluate performance is to use them to build a story. Here’s one I’ve always wanted to see brought to life.

TIL The Matrix spent $40M for a 6-minute VFX scene. That means they spent $150,000 per second. Yes, that's per second. If you blink for too long you might have missed a couple million in production. Other major movies spent between $20,000 to $60,000 per second. h/t from the last Corridor Crew video where they ranked the most expensive VFX shots.

I haven't had this much fun with a model. Ever. Whisper Thunder delivers every time. One of the parts I like the most is how steerable it is with movements, cameras, and super specific prompts. I made this music video in just under 2 hours. Enjoy!
