50:46And there's this guy called Gossip Goblin, his name is Jack London, and he has released this film called Pomegranate, which is just a short, which you can find online on YouTube somewhere. But he used real actors, like I mentioned earlier, and for doing sci-fi stuff, the image generation, this is, I think, the trailer for it, but the whole thing is here with the subtitles.
51:15titles, but you can see the level of realism that is available in this particular film, 30-minute film. And he's released a feature, he's releasing a feature film called Gods Don't Give Gifts, which has portions, I actually think, of the video from this film in it, but a full-length feature film that's going to be released in theaters. And his process is similar to like a, you know, a regular film production process where
51:43They generate looks and they have people that are generating stills in Midjourney and other devices, other AI generative devices to generate the actors' looks, the looks of all the different worlds this guy is feeling. This film, Pomegranate, is kind of a takeoff on Philip K. Dick's We Can Thank It For You Wholesale, I think, which is the basis of Total Recall, where a guy has all these dreams.
52:18He goes to this place where he plugs into Jackson to his his subcortex and plays back where he he inhabits all these different people and creatures and vacations like like in Total Recall.
