What a fascinating write-up. I'm amazed that those AI companies all (unless I misread?) ghosted you. It seems like it'd be a no-brain involvement for them. Don't they all want to get into the hands of major studio players? Odd. Really cool to see how you upscaled resolution and frame rate in order to manipulate things in the edit. I already knew about your more flashy use of AI in this film, but it was cool to see how you used it to facilitate those more invisible changes. I really appreciate this post, Lauren, and I can't wait to see what comes next from you.
Ideally you’d have a minimum 8GB VRAM to work with NeRFs locally. Otherwise, I suggest tools like Luma. I’m fortunate to have had 24GB of VRAM at my disposal since 2022. Part of the reason I mention in the piece that open source alternatives are not always accessible to all.
I think, I have used Nerfstudio on Google Colab and also on various builds that you can hire on the internet. I'll check it out again. Thank you, Lauren :)
Nerfstudio on Google Collab is a great option! Lots of great notebooks are publicly available, and flexible pricing for renting GPUs. Still not cheap, and definitely not free, but there are options!
This is an amazing resource Lauren!
I'm glad you found some value in it!

I appreciate the feedback! Thank you for reading
Fabulous, Lauren, thank you! Hey, quick question: what's your favourite NERF tool for a low budget GPU (less RAM)?
NerfStudio: https://github.com/nerfstudio-project/nerfstudio
There are even some Colab notebooks floating around out there: https://colab.research.google.com/github/nerfstudio-project/nerfstudio/blob/main/colab/demo.ipynb
With only 4Gb GPU RAM?

Thank you, Lauren :) My friend told me that Hugging Face had some Cloud and GPU offers going on, but I've seen nuttin'
