Director Martin Scorsese has been appointed as an advisor to Black Forest Labs, the AI company behind the image generation model Flux. Scorsese says Flux can help him share visual ideas with his creative team, saving production time and reducing staff burden, while keeping human judgment central to his work.
Martin Scorsese has taken on an advisory role at Black Forest Labs, the company that developed the Flux image generation model. In a video released by the company, Scorsese described using Flux to recreate the Copacabana one-shot from "Goodfellas," a sequence he called "the most complex shoot." He said the tool allowed him to solve lighting and transition problems faster than traditional methods. Scorsese emphasized that the technology is a way to convey what he envisions to production designers, art designers, and cinematographers, not a replacement for cinematic judgment. He compared the adoption to his use of 3D in "Hugo" and de-aging in "The Irishman."
