NYC has a lot of puppeteers, and some of my close mutuals are one.

I once attended an open mike puppet show.

@meredithnudo.bsky.social shares her idea about doing The Five Obstructions (2003) into an animated documentary due to its directors' contempt for animation.

Like any AI project, that AI project is very likely to be a Mechanical Turk grift.
“We saw the various articles on ‘Ambersons’ today. In general, the estate has embraced AI technology to create a voice model intended to be used for VO work with brands. That said, this attempt to generate publicity on the back of Welles’ creative genius is disappointing, especially as we weren’t even given the courtesy of a heads up,” a spokesperson for the Welles estate wrote. “While AI is inevitable, it still cannot replace the creative instincts resident in the human mind, which means this effort to make Ambersons whole will be a purely mechanical exercise without any of the uniquely innovative thinking or a creative force like Welles.”
