Summary
- Director Vikram Bhatt defends AI use in horror film.
- Many viewers incorrectly label real locations as AI.
- Story and audience enjoyment matter more than technology.
Director Vikram Bhatt has responded to criticism regarding the use of AI and visual effects in his film 'Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past.' Bhatt stated that many viewers have mistakenly identified real locations within the movie as AI-generated imagery. He suggests that the current focus on AI leads audiences to label any unusual visuals as artificial.
Bhatt clarified his stance, indicating he is open to using AI if it serves his creative vision and fits his budget. He argued that audiences should prioritize the film's narrative over the technology employed. The director further commented that horror films have always relied on visual effects to create supernatural elements, questioning the distinction between AI-generated ghosts and those created through other special effects.
He drew parallels between artificial sets and CGI environments, questioning why audiences accept one but not the other. Bhatt referenced classic films like 'Shaan' and 'Star Wars,' where audiences embraced fantastical elements without demanding strict realism. He believes 'Haunted 3D' aimed to create a specific, dreamlike atmosphere for its fictional world, justifying the use of AI.
