Used AI video for battle scenes in a streaming series
What they did
Showrunner Jon Erwin used generative AI for crowd and battle shots in season 2 of Amazon's House of David, including Runway's image-to-video tools alongside products from Luma, Google and Adobe.
How it went
Wired reports AI shots went 'from more than 70 in season 1 to between 350 and 400 shots for season 2'; Erwin called the cost 'minuscule' next to traditional VFX and said the team ended up 'using 10 to 15 core tools.'
Worth knowing
Runway was one of 10 to 15 tools in the pipeline, so the result cannot be credited to it alone, and the cost claim is the showrunner's own.
Try it yourself with Runway
Replace anything in [brackets] with your details.
Turn this still image into a [5]-second shot: [describe the image or attach it].
Motion: [what moves, e.g. a crowd advancing across a hill]. Camera: [slow push-in / wide static / handheld].
Lighting and mood: [e.g. dusty dawn light, tense, cinematic]. Keep faces and clothing consistent and avoid text or logos.
Give me two variations, then tell me what to change in the prompt if the motion looks unnatural.Read the original
