Martin Scorsese becomes an advisor to AI startup Black Forest Labs

Ten-time Oscar nominee for Best Director Martin Scorsese (who, by the way, has won only one statuette) has joined as an advisor to the developers of the Flux image generator.

➕Scorsese is already using neural networks to visualize ideas and create storyboards. According to the director, AI helps him clearly and efficiently share his vision with his team — including the production designer, art designer, and cinematographer.

➡️ The 83-year-old Scorsese is also one of Hollywood’s AI pioneers. In The Irishman (2019), neural networks were used to make Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci appear 30 years younger. Critics had mixed reactions to the result, noting that the actors’ movements and facial expressions still revealed their real age.

🔎 Nevertheless, Scorsese remains convinced that AI is an important and useful technology for the industry.

“Cinema is a relatively young art form — it’s only about 125 years old, so we should be open to its continued evolution,” the director says.

9 steps from an idea to a finished video

Sharing my workflow. It changes depending on the task, but the basic structure stays the same.

🛑 Concept and references — I come up with the idea and collect visual examples.

🛑 Claude Code + Notebook LM — I upload scriptwriting materials into Notebook LM, ask Claude to dig through them, ask a couple of guiding questions — and it expands the idea on its own.

🛑 Art direction skills — I run the concept through my custom-made tools.

🛑 Midjourney — the skill writes prompts, I add one reference image in the style section. Out of 100 generations, I keep 10 frames.

🛑 Nano Banana — one universal prompt makes the images more realistic, fixes composition, colors, and textures.

🛑 Seedance — I upload 4–5 images at once, create one 15-second generation, and cut out the parts I need. Saves time and credits.

🛑 Kling — for simple shots, since I already have a paid account.

🛑 Suno — I write music prompts through GPT or Claude; the free version is enough.

🛑DaVinci Resolve — editing and effects.

And the important part: you often need to invent the animation yourself. If you just ask for a prompt, the AI will move the camera in a boring way until you get tired of watching it.
