Martin Scorsese uses AI image generation to visualize scenes for upcoming films

What was said

"It was insane sitting in the same room with him multiple times and actually him seeing like exploring our models. He has clearly a vision in his head of like a scene or a scenery where maybe a new movie will be shot and he's trying to explore that. We basically looked at the scenery of like a village in Eastern Europe somewhere and he was describing it, we saw some outputs, we iterated on the outputs. And ultimately I think what he said in the end is like getting the mental picture of something out of your head and communicating it in a visual way by making these images is something that just makes it easier to communicate."

Legendary director Martin Scorsese is actively using Black Forest Labs' AI image generation tools to visualize scenes for potential films, according to CEO Robin Rombach. The director demonstrated the technology by iterating on images of an Eastern European village setting, using AI as a medium to communicate his creative vision more effectively than language alone, similar to how directors traditionally use storyboards but with dramatically faster iteration.
