From Green Screen to Gray Box: AI Is Stepping Onto the Hollywood Sound Stage - CNET
On screen, a woman runs toward a cliff and peers anxiously over the edge, teetering as she looks down at a perilous mountain dotted with boulders, her hair flying in the wind.
She’s not, though. I can see her from where I’m standing in the middle of a Disney sound stage in Los Angeles. She’s standing in a “gray box,” a small, walled-off space on the studio floor, neutral-colored walls speckled with small cross marks for positioning. She’s next to a stack of blue-carpeted boxes that serve as a stand-in for whatever large prop that post-production decides to add in digitally later.
A camera is pointing at her, following her every move. And an almost instant rendering on a screen has placed her on that cliff, perfectly lit, wind tousling her hair, thanks in part to AI.
