Had a great time at @A24 with @BernieSu, @arthuregao the crew @Pickford_AI. We are using @fal's Max and Pickford StoryKernel engine to build the next version of Whispers, the next gen of interactive/immersive storytelling.
I tested 5,000, 8,000, and 10,000 step runs with the dataset. The captions mattered, adding an explicit matte toon style and descriptions of individual areas within each set helped anchor the look we wanted.
