Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, 1997

~~Barbie, the world's most popular doll, continues to influence the fashion world and pop culture. With the highly anticipated "Barbie" film directed by Greta Gerwig on the horizon, Barbiecore, an aesthetic inspired by the iconic Barbie doll, has experienced a resurgence in popularity, capturing the essence of nostalgia and empowerment associated with the iconic doll. This has inspired us to delve into Flim.ai to explore how artists have appropriated this trend.~~ 

**[Barbiecore](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbiecore)**, the fashion aesthetic inspired by the iconic **[Barbie doll](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbie+doll)**, has a rich history that dates back to the 1950s. Introduced by Mattel and initially associated with the “American way of life”, Barbie quickly became a cultural icon and a symbol of femininity, glamor and aspiration. 

<Grid id="1" />

Over the years, **[Barbie](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbie)** has become a symbol of female emancipation while perpetuating ultra-gendered stereotypes and an aesthetic rooted in heteronormative and Western ideals of beauty.

<Grid id="6" />

While the **[Barbiecore aesthetic](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbiecore)** continued to evolve discreetly at the turn of the 2000s and 2010s, and the Barbie doll went through a crisis due to little girls' lack of interest in this stereotypical doll, the late 2010s and early 2020s brought it a new lease of life.

Firstly, **[Barbiecore's](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbiecore)** rise aligns with the resurgence of Y2K style, which has captivated the fashion world in recent years. The fashion trend evokes nostalgia for the early 2000s, the **[Noughties](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Noughties)**, reminiscent of icons like Paris Hilton and Elle Woods, and their vibrant colors, flashy accessories, feminine silhouettes, and bold patterns. We encourage you to take a look at our [**Noughties collection**](https://beta.flim.ai/collection/6XHzOFG4gdHbX0zRPDVQ?wa=true), which will transport you right back to the early 2000s.

[Valentino's Pink PP collection in 2022](https://www.valentino.com/fr-mc/collections/valentino-pink-pp-collection) played a pivotal role in catapulting Barbiecore into the world of high fashion. The collection featured monochromatic hot pink looks, capturing the essence of Barbie's signature style and sparking a renewed interest in the aesthetic. 

Many stars and content creators have adopted this aesthetic, and the release of the highly anticipated "[Barbie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBk4NYhWNMM)" film, further propelled **[Barbiecore's](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbiecore)** into the mainstream.

The film has generated immense excitement and inspired individuals to embrace the aesthetic in their own personal style. With teasers and promotional images circulating, the anticipation surrounding the movie has contributed to the resurgence of **[Barbiecore's](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbiecore)** in fashion, music, social media and more. 

For example, while artists such as [Ariana Grande](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/QXJpYW5hIEdyYW5kZQ%3D%3D) and [Shakira](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/U2hha2lyYQ%3D%3D) still referenced the style, the year 2022 and then 2023 saw the emergence of numerous music videos with a hyper-Barbie aesthetic, now associated as much with the doll's pop culture as with a new form of freedom of expression.

These clips include "[Super Freaky Girl](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccMRL4TTEJ)" by [Nicki Minaj](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/Tmlja2kgTWluYWo%3D), directed by [Joseph Kahn](https://beta.flim.ai/director/Sm9zZXBoIEthaG4%3D), "[Princess Diana](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccDVQJUWBH)" by [Ice Spice](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/SWNlIFNwaWNl), directed by [Edgar Esteves](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RWRnYXIgRXN0ZXZlcw%3D%3D), "[Dance The Night](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccLWYWMYHP)" by [Dua Lipa](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/RHVhIExpcGE%3D), directed by [Greta Gerwig](https://beta.flim.ai/director/R3JldGEgR2Vyd2ln), and "[Barbie World](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccUNSC0AFT)" by [Nicki Minaj](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/Tmlja2kgTWluYWo%3D), directed by [Hannah Lux Davis](https://beta.flim.ai/director/SGFubmFoIEx1eCBEYXZpcw%3D%3D).

<Grid id="3" />

In a way, the search results for **[Barbiecore](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbiecore)** from our **Artificial Intelligence** reflect the entire history of this phenomenon. Our AI naturally searches for dolls, lots of pink, blonde hair, accessories, artificial settings, dreamlike atmospheres, and more.

<Grid id="4" />

But it goes further, offering more offbeat and trashy shots. Barbie Flim responds to the stereotypes associated with **[Barbie](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbie)** since her creation, as well as the modern interpretation created by contemporary artists, and the interpretation made by our AI based on its global knowledge of this mainstream and paradoxical aesthetic. **[Barbie](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbie&ygte=2020&ylt=2025&img=ZxMOpWpWpuBbgZGyMq74)** in 2023 assumes its mainstream status and is provocative. 

<Grid id="5" />

As **[Barbiecore](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbiecore)** continues to evolve, it encapsulates both the nostalgia of the past and the enduring influence of Barbie's empowering message: **"You can be anything"**. Ultimately, over the years, **[Barbiecore](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbiecore)** is about feeling confident and embracing one's individuality. It's not about conforming to societal norms but rather celebrating personal style, feeling empowered, embracing femininity, and expressing our unique bold style. The freedom to express oneself, whether through a pink bra or a long dress, defines the essence of **[Barbiecore](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Barbiecore)** .

BARBIECORE AESTHETIC

Black Is King - 2020

~~With Film AI-powered search engine you can attempt very specific searches, including searching for aesthetics across the database. Here we chose to ask the AI to search for the aesthetic **[Afrofuturism](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=afrofuturism)**. Here is a selection of images that emerged from this search. It turns out that Film has many major references of this trend. We let you discover the images and the history of this aesthetic in this article. ~~

**[Afrofuturism](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=afrofuturism)** is an artistic trend and aesthetic that appeared in the second half of the 20th century. The term was coined in 1993 by the academic **Mark Dery** in his essay "Black to the Future". However this style did not wait to be named to exist. It appeared as early as the 1960s in the context of the **African-American rights movement** and in art with the **science fiction novel _Nova_ by Samuel R. Delany.** **[Afrofuturism](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=afrofuturism)** developed through a **multidisciplinary art movement** (literature, music, visual arts) defined by **Mark Dery** as "the appropriation of science fiction technology and imagery by African Americans". This style blends elements of **science fiction**, **Afrocentrism **and **magic realism** in a non-Western setting.

## Afrofuturism in cinema

Thanks to the **struggles for African American rights in the 1960s**, black actors took on more prominent roles in films, most notably in the science fiction movie **[Star Trek: The Motion Picture](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/efe4e90c-1fb4-43db-9d82-ea8492a7e102)**, which starred Nichelle Nichols as Nyota Uhura, a lieutenant with high responsibility on a spaceship. This is **the first time a black character has played a leading** role in a television series set in space.

<Grid id="1" />

One of the most influential films in the **[Afrofuturist imaginary](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=afrofuturism)** is the cosmic and experimental **[Space Is The Place](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/AGPc5uDC6SLM3xVadi82)**, written by the musician **Sun Ra** and **Joshua Smith**. It features the jazzman and his big band the Arkestra in an esoteric and shinny universe. In the movie Sun Ra discovers a new planet that he elects as the new land of the** African Americans**, and the only possible means of transportation to this planet is music. 

<Grid id="2" />

**[Afrofuturism](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=afrofuturism)** is also embodied in the **Marvel universe** by **Black Panther, the first black superhero in the comics**. This figure is taken up and staged in the recent blockbuster **[Black Panther](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/7wRwIJFu3YxCeXuq0FpM)**, which depicts the fate of a man, protector of Wakanda, an imaginary African kingdom that would never have been colonized.

This **[Afrofuturistic](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=afrofuturism)** universe also continues in today's **music** with references taken from various **music videos**. Here is** screencaps of some music videos** from the Flim database. 

**[Floria Sigismondi](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RmxvcmlhIFNpZ2lzbW9uZGk=)** uses this aesthetic for the **Rihanna** music video **[Sledgehammer](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccZ8EFUW1Z)** which is the soundtrack of the latest Star Trek movie, **[Star Trek Beyond](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/c9b986e4-62bf-4b6b-89ba-0acfaa98741d)**.

<Grid id="4" />

The singer **[Janelle Monáe](https://beta.flim.ai/actor/SmFuZWxsZSBNb27DoWU=)** also incorporated **[Afrofuturist](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=afrofuturism)** elements in her music videos, including [I like that](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccTOVCJMAC), mixing themes like **love, identity and self-realization**.

## OTHER AFROFUTURIST STILLS FROM THE FLIM DATABASE

Searching Afrofuturism aesthetic

The Platform, 2019

~~The interpretation of our **Artificial Intelligence** is unlimited: you can type in whatever you want and our AI will interpret it to fetch the most relevant **screencaps from our stills database**. We already knew it, but we tried a new kind of search that we are particularly fascinated by: searching **web aesthetics** on Flim. And it works pretty well! By '_web aesthetics_' we mean the art movements that have been emerging on the Internet for a few years and are now part of **visual culture**.~~

As we explained in a previous article about **paintings and cinema through the scope of our AI**, our AI was trained with a combination of images and human-written texts about those images. This means that all **screenshots** resulting from a search are the common view of a subject. Therefore, our AI knows very well what people say about visual culture and especially about the **web visual culture**. For this reason, when you enter this type of search on Flim, the results are very relevant: our AI finds images in the style of those it has seen and studied.

So let us start with two famous and related aesthetics: [**liminal space**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Liminal+Space) and [**after hours**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=After+Hours), two aesthetics that have iconographic similarities but whose meaning and atmosphere are very different.

## Liminal space aesthetic: spaces of transition

You’ve probably seen disturbing images on Instagram, TikTok, or in articles of **empty spaces with cold light** that feel like you've been there before, such as a **parking lot**, a **waiting room**, or a **supermarket section**. This is **[liminal space](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Liminal+Space)**, a fascinating **web aesthetic** that started in 2019 and became very popular.

<Grid id="1" />

A **long desert corridor**, an **empty room with neon lights**, a **frozen and empty hallway**... The **[liminal space](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Liminal+Space)** aesthetic is about space, but also about time. It refers to **the place of transition** between the ‘what was’ and ‘the next’ with a both **familiar, frozen and unsettling atmosphere**.

<Grid id="2" />

Beyond the physical spaces they refer to, **[liminal spaces](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Liminal+Space)** have a deeper, metaphorical meaning: familiar everyday spaces like hallways or parking lots become spaces that our mind associates with feelings of emptiness, transition, and the unknown. The term ‘liminal’, by the way, derives from the Latin word ‘limen’ meaning ‘threshold’.

## After Hours aesthetic: spaces of contemplation

**[After hours aesthetics](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=After+Hours)** describes the feelings of **seeing a place empty at night that is usually populated**. 

For example, **[after hours](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=After+Hours)** refers to the impressions we get when we walk or drive _alone at night_ on familiar and normally busy streets. Our mind sees the silhouettes of the daily crowd but appreciates their absence at night. It can also refer to spaces where the people who are there at night are quite different than during the day.

<Grid id="3" />

This is **[after hours](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=After+Hours)**. The impressions you have when you see places from a different angle, in a different light.

With** [liminal space](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Liminal+Space**), they both explore **empty spaces**, **often at night**. The bigger difference is that liminal space evokes a deep and unsettling sense of "déjà vu," while after hours describes a **quiet and contemplative moment of solitude**, of suspended time to be captured before the crowd returns.

A way to play with our **stills database** and talk about the **dialog between art and video**.~~

 
 

## From tableaux vivants to cinematic shots inspired by artworks

**Tableaux vivants** (French for _living pictures_) are probably the first form of life-size adaptation of a painting. Very popular in Western culture especially at the beginning of the 19th century, these forms of entertainment consisted of static, costumed, carefully and theatrically set up scenes that could **reproduce or be inspired by paintings**. They were performed live, and from the late 19th century they started to be photographed and filmed.

Nowadays, the term **_tableau vivant_** refers both to its original and historical form and to life-size reproductions of paintings or static and theatrical scenes. In a sense, any shot that stages a static scene with costumes is a kind of **tableau vivant**, such as the series of images with Armenian costumes depicting verses from the life of the poet Sayat-Nova in **[The Color of Pomegranates](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/df4e9f17-a925-49ba-bfb6-e652c7442c5d)**.

**[Forrest Gump](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/hjfmq0oCIJ9D8joFZmum?img=6eEDs9REsGDDTgsv1U7a&wa=true)** ([Robert Zemeckis](https://beta.flim.ai/director/Um9iZXJ0IFplbWVja2lz)) and _Christina's World_ (Andrew Wyeth), **[The Marquise of O](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/102fa2db-0228-4d4e-b8b4-fb35e29f9c0d?img=acab1877-c7f0-4cc4-91e4-bde1b51abc63&wa=true)** ([Eric Rohmer](https://beta.flim.ai/director/w4lyaWMgUm9obWVy)) and _The Nightmare_ (Fuseli), **[Cabaret](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/SHXwYluZn0sozBCQMmWZ?ft=Otto+Dix&img=4kLRMfkGUSxPolFRh1Jh&wa=true)** ([Bob Fosse](https://beta.flim.ai/director/Qm9iIEZvc3Nl)) and _Portrait of the Journalist Sylvia von Harden_ (Otto Dix)… **Many movie scenes were inspired by art in the style of tableaux vivants**. While some are identically rendered, others are inspired by the general atmosphere (Millais _Ophelia_ painting has inspired [Justine floating in the water in her wedding dress in Melancholia](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/cqQOQfnYGNbCcAIsUeZ1?ft=Ophelia&wa=true)), the setting ([the famous snow scene in The Mirror](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/iaD22QO6WuRzrGzYqLKu?ft=The+Hunters+in+the+Snow+Pieter+Bruegel&wa=true) is inspired by Pieter Bruegel’s _The Hunters in the Snow_), or the costumes ([Leeloo's futuristic jumpsuit in The Fifth Element](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/a8ae8f40-5b4f-45c9-a531-6d90d7af98da?ft=white+outfit&wa=true) is inspired by Frida Kahlo’s _The Broken Column_)… You will find many articles on the Internet about **the dialog between art and cinema**. But often the same artworks are used as examples and limited to famous references.

## Search by artwork: the AI's ability to recognize titles

Aren’t you a lucky one? Our **AI** is able to recognize the title of an artwork beyond its literal meaning. For example, if you type **[Girl with a pearl earring](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Girl+with+a+pearl+earring)**, **AI** understands that you are searching for **stills inspired by Vermeer’s famous artwork** and not only screencaps depicting a girl who is wearing pearl earring. This kind of search can be very useful if you have a specific search intent, such as the composition of a painting, or if you want to see what other filmmakers have done. And believe us, with ** Flim database** you'll keep making connections you never intended in the first place.

<Grid id="8"/>

So let us start with one of the most famous themes and paintings in Western culture: [**The Last Supper**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper). Our **AI** finds **stills directly inspired by the Leonardo da Vinci version**, like the famous hippie version in **[Inherent Vice](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper+da+Vinci&img=oopsds18N9KWXmBFGz6j&wa=true)** or the military and dreamy version from the **music video [Agoria - Embrace](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper&img=RGGRGmaFcZ14HtWE9r9v)**.

<Grid id="9"/>

**AI** also detects shots with Leonardo's artwork or another version of [**The Last Supper**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper): hung on the wall and surrounded by everyday objects in [ATL](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper&img=BiG0XSbBxaIPNmnwUNjD), as a background that echoes the foreground in [Carrie](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper&img=H8ZzDqQTh6rvWAGCENRO), or filmed by itself as in [The Last Vermeer](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper&img=oXDduW0603qtPYDHnQ8D). These three examples are interesting because they set three **ways to show a work of art in a film.**

**Filming a work of art is about the choice of context and staging, framing, lighting, angles, etc.** The result is, in a sense, another work of art realized through the eyes of a filmmaker and with a specific meaning and artistic intent.

In the case of **paintings** filmed for themselves, as in **[The Last Vermeer](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper&img=oXDduW0603qtPYDHnQ8D)**, the place of these kinds of **shots** in the film edit is very important. They can express memories such as the bedroom in **[La Jetée](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/82M9QL7QDcr80FGIIHFq?img=CGIqfnDJpiblX8DUtnK1&wa=true)** inspired by Van Gogh’s _Bedroom in Arles_, visual and meaningful parallels like the **paintings** that punctuate the scenes in **[Pierrot Le Fou](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/bB5X1KWMexMNkFEpZLBD?ft=painting&wa=true)**, or the close-ups of _The Last Judgment_ in **[The New Pope](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/8GJ5abvKsFDBkhRqrhFU?ft=painting&img=wDOfpntB29mZflQGjOZj&wa=true)** etc., allowing us to make different associations of ideas and images.

<Grid id="10"/>

About **[The Last Supper](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper)**, our **AI** also finds **screencaps** with similarities (motifs, composition, lighting, framing, etc.) which are not clearly inspired by the Renaissance artworks. And these results are perhaps the most interesting thing about **Artificial Intelligence**. For example, some **shots** show only people eating ([Back to the Future](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper&img=d5a7e2c3-b46c-435f-b96a-14f5bb30dd55)), people sitting around a table with horizontal composition ([The Green Knight](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper&img=NFCzBjslvfuBUND5GWnk)) or people standing around a table with religious iconography ([Benedetta](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper&img=iNCuyGR1eI2v3OPrDjfn)). Are these frames directly inspired by **_The Last Supper_** as [Inherent Vice](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+Supper+da+Vinci&img=oopsds18N9KWXmBFGz6j&wa=true), or is it **AI**? In the end, it does not matter, because these suggestions are precisely the value of **AI**: it allows us to diversify the results and broaden the inspiration itself.

<Slider id="1"/>

Thanks to **Flim search engine**, you can indeed input any **visual reference** and make an infinite number of **visual connections**: some will be obvious, others much more subtle. Let us explain why.

 

## How do Flim’s AI search engine and neural networks work?

**Flim is the only platform that brings together screencaps from all genres in one place** (movies, TV series, ads, music videos, documentaries and animations) and provides you with a **powerful search engine based on artificial intelligence** and **neural network technology** instead of tag systems.

Tag systems can be very precise, but they are also very limited, since the results of a search are only the images associated with the corresponding words. **AI search engine**, on the other hand, allows for a more inspirational and diverse search.

**Neural networks** mimic the human brain and its biological processes through a series of algorithms. Thanks to its **neural architecture**, the **Artificial Intelligence** is able to interpret your search beyond its literal meaning and find instantly the **stills** in our entire **database** that best match its interpretation.

**So the search on Flim is unlimited.** You can type in whatever you want and get results just as a **human brain** would create mental representations: [objects](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=sunglasses), [feelings](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=loneliness), [situations](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=running+in+the+street), [concepts](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=imagination), or visual references like [brands](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=coca-cola) or [artistic movements](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Cubism&wa=true).

 

## Search by artistic movements: very useful for creating mood boards

**The relationship between visual arts and cinema** has existed since the invention of cinema. Artists and filmmakers have explored the cinematographic medium within their artistic movements. For example, the Surrealists used absurd imagery and "special effects" ([Buñuel](https://beta.flim.ai/director/THVpcyBCdcOxdWVs)), or the German Expressionists ([Fritz Lang](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RnJpdHogTGFuZw==)) used high angles, deep shadows, etc. to transpose the codes of their artistic movement to the screen.

What interests us here are the films made within an artistic movement, but also those inspired by it. In other words, the filmmakers who allude to artistic movements without being part of the artistic movement to which they refer, such as [Stanley Kubrick](https://beta.flim.ai/director/U3RhbmxleSBLdWJyaWNr), who was inspired by the romantic paintings of [Gainsborough](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/y1uRbtHuXAPERC4Mq9w0?ft=Gainsborough&wa=true) and [Constable](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/y1uRbtHuXAPERC4Mq9w0?ft=Constable&wa=true) in [Barry Lyndon](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/y1uRbtHuXAPERC4Mq9w0), or [Hayao Miyazaki](https://beta.flim.ai/director/SGF5YW8gTWl5YXpha2k=), who often refers to [Impressionism](https://beta.flim.ai/director/SGF5YW8gTWl5YXpha2k=?ft=Impressionism&wa=true) in his landscapes.

<Grid id="11"/>

Indeed, many filmmakers have transferred the codes of a pictorial movement into the cinematographic medium in order to assimilate them for their own meaning. **[Stanley Kubrick](https://beta.flim.ai/director/U3RhbmxleSBLdWJyaWNr)**, for example, drew inspiration from Romantic music and painting, emphasizing the tragic and fatal destiny of his characters, while paradoxically insisting on the lack of romanticism of his main character, who is driven only by ambition. As for the inspiration from **[German expressionism](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=German+expressionism&wa=true)**, distorted perspectives, high angles, shadows, etc. emphasize the frightening and creepy atmosphere.

<Grid id="12"/>

Therefore, **looking for artistic movements on Flim** is very helpful to create **mood boards**. Try with [Pop Art](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Pop+Art&wa=true): our **AI** provides **stills** from videos directly inspired by Pop Art, such as Warhol-style repetitions from [Beyoncé](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/QmV5b25jw6k=)'s music video [Countdown](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=pop+art&img=pOsQRDFYdi7sbjqUeNmn), but also **screencaps from videos** not directly inspired by Pop Art, but where the **AI** detects similarities: [colorful stills](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=pop+art&img=BGNyiGvmhKqMbqtHIG1r), [comic book-inspired iconography](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=pop+art&img=y29vdw6DGHDHfacPuuC), [close-ups on red lips](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=pop+art&img=Ee9tejpnLXdNONWiR4Mz) or [pop culture motifs](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Pop+Art&img=vNKDrbG2ibbrO9YRE3FZ).

<Grid id="13"/>

With [impressionism](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=impressionism) for example, you will get **screencaps** of [outdoor painting's scenes in the late 19th century](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=impressionism&img=xoGJjNehKfSAE6jDtbsS),
[impressionist painting](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=impressionism&img=Bz9QAbsHrtnnFBBSaBJ1) or [shot inspired by impressionist painting](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=impressionism&img=TyxcV6v4XXHxotOW3M5G), 

[nature](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=impressionism&img=INydSmAJSFAoge5GwhaA), [lights](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=impressionism&img=kDxnX0Zl2kzdgngicQ04), [water lilies](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=impressionism&img=QHv7oF3C2D5kOOXZjJ9), etc.

Also very interesting results: shots of exhibition or museum spaces. In some of them the **AI** has detected[ impressionist paintings](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=impressionism&img=a3f3f2ac-d83c-4f67-b452-f13bea399d0b) or at least [paintings from the late 19th century](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=impressionism&img=g4AEZ6jysiCEuRfwDaoZ) on the walls, while in others [the museum visitors are the subject](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=impressionism&img=CBd6khH5Un3KEFFHQQ9C), regardless of the type of paintings.

<Grid id="14"/>

This last result is very interesting to fully understand **how AI works**. It mimics the **human brain's interpretation process** using neural networks and what it has learned about images. The **AI** was actually trained with a combination of images and text created by humans. All the **screencaps** that result from a search are, in a sense, the popular view of a subject, just as Impressionism - one of the most popular movements - is associated with the subject “exhibition” in the common view.

 

## Search by painter: the AI's interpretation of an artist's style

Filming a painter is about inspirations and influences, creative process and gestures, life and artistic or historic context etc. depending on the genre and the intent of the filmmaker: tell a story or show the creative process. For example, while the biographical drama [Mr. Turner](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/AWm3Ip4ejqzey1H8MRVu?wa=true) tells us the last 25 years of the life of the artist and his universe, [Henri-Georges Clouzot](https://beta.flim.ai/director/SGVucmktR2VvcmdlcyBDbG91em90) in [The Mystery of Picasso](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/0d6c85bb-ee13-4845-b4e0-356a27c58f0a) shows [the act of creating](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Picasso&img=63d9f231-a6b1-40e8-b08d-7ccaf1587905) to precisely catch “the mystery” of creation through his camera.

When searching for a painter on the database, the results are shots inspired by his style and compositions ([Edward Hopper](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Edward+Hopper)), images with figures that look like the artist ([Salvador Dalí](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Salvador+Dal%C3%AD)), screencaps of the artwork ([Caravaggio](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Caravaggio&img=mWZnFUnWfyeyo16LBeuJ)) or stills showing the artist at work ([Picasso](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Picasso)).

<Grid id="15"/>
<Grid id="16"/>

Let’s use the example of [René Magritte, ](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=ren%C3%A9+magritte)because this search is very representative of how the AI understands an artist and his whole universe. As explained above, it orders the search results by relevance.

The first stills are images with typical patterns of [Magritte](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=ren%C3%A9+magritte)’s painting: [men in bowler hats](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=ren%C3%A9+magritte&img=JkYYpzaaJxZ7vFaCi4bj), [cloudy skies](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=ren%C3%A9+magritte&img=BtjFesEBjJkf3Q9haUrp), absurd iconography like these [two men walking through an eye](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=ren%C3%A9+magritte&img=2e028982-e64f-4a38-bac4-3c28ad67c9c7), or [Christopher Walken flying in front of a seascape](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=rené+magritte&img=vXQkQb9TdWCcDywAJSdo).

But **AI** also goes beyond motifs to try to understand an artist's art more deeply. [René Magritte](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=ren%C3%A9+magritte) highlights our perception of things and our mental images, as well as the discrepancy between an object in real life and its representation. And this still from [Perceval le Gallois](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=magritte&img=rBqkCx2F7eH2yb05PdQP), which depicts three red spots as eyes and mouth, or this one from [Brazil](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=ren%C3%A9+magritte&img=z0qUUfHa4o3RRYtAvL7B), where a white handkerchief is flying as a cloud, are very representative of how AI tries to catch the concept / metaphor behind the images.

We could search for a long time for other artists or art movements, but also for situations like “[painter in his studio painting his model](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=painter+in+his+studio+painting+his+model&wa=true)” or materials like “[watercolors](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=watercolors&wa=true)”, but we leave it to you to **play with the AI**!

Relationships between films and painting through the scope of our AI

Love, Death & Robots S1 • E2, 2019

**[Final Fantasy](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/ff9562c0-d53a-4bbb-9242-d8b38d329df0)**, **[Silent Hill](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/khkt25qQNdCRqgu0RL8H)**, **[Resident Evil](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/e7c2dbcf-8ead-476c-a2a6-b7fff4c12555)**, **[Tomb Raider](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/ux9QAJYFgYSLCJetB4F0)**...: for decades, **film adaptations** and, more recently, **TV series adaptations of video games** keep on increasing. This is not surprising, considering the cinematographic potential of video games (graphics, universe, screenplays, characters etc.) and the financial aspects, especially given the exponential growth of the** video game industry**.

While for years many **movie adaptations** were quite criticized precisely because of this lucrative aspect, their lack of originality and subtlety ([Lara Croft: Tomb Raider](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/da1a24a6-8989-454e-b53c-32989f52f074)), their design (remember when [Sonic the Hedgehog](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/c56f9312-08a0-4ee0-b328-e0825274d02b) was redesigned after the release of the trailer to better resemble Sonic's video game design), adaptations now seem to be experiencing a new era. In fact, they continue to increase and many **TV series adaptations** such as [Arcane](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/g7RQBclW2LXw5LbwKlmX) or [The Witcher](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/KSym572Du03Cdde1ycVW) have been highly praised. We collect many of these **movies and TV series adaptations**, so feel free to browse our stills database.

And what about video games that have not been adapted yet? **What would a video game look like if it were adapted into a movie, or had been a movie?** It's a question we often ask ourselves while playing our favorite video games, and one that our **AI-powered search engine** is able to answer with its own understanding of what **video game imagery** is.

While we wait for the release of the TV series based on [**The Last of Us**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+of+Us), let us see what our **AI** gives us: [post-apocalyptic city](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+of+Us&img=1UmBFdowpqupiAwPh6pO), [desolate landscape](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+of+Us&img=TE2gK9jMD21XOj1b6RH8), [third-person view](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+of+Us&img=RUpL2pZ3xoWPI53DYWIs), 
[illuminated shots with lens flare](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+of+Us&img=gyAPcHglOSYmAguHNOnJ), [armed man in a foggy forest](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+of+Us&img=hj1LirTjuDLdUs241iBu)... : it really looks like the video game, doesn't it? Try any visual reference and see for yourself, here are some suggestions: [Half Life](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Half+Life), [Tetris](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Tetris), [Gran Turismo](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Gran+Turismo), [GTA](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=grand+theft+auto+), [Cyberpunk 2077](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Cyberpunk+2077), [Metroid Prime](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Metroid+prime), [Steep](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Steep).

<Grid id="1"/>

As we explained in our article about **Relationships between painting and cinema**, our AI is able to recognize and interpret proper names or titles and make connections with the **screencaps** we collect. Try it with any video game and see: some of the shots look straight out of video games! Two reasons explain these results: first, **the deep understanding of our AI** and second, the fact that **video games are inspired by cinema imagery and cinema by video games imagery.** Let us explain.

 

## How does cinema inspire video games?

Cutscenes that interrupt gameplay are a perfect example of **how video games were inspired by cinema**, like those of [Metal Gear Solid](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Metal+Gear+Solid&wa=true) which have marked an entire generation. Thanks to technological advances, cutscenes are no longer the only moments in video games that are very "cinematic ". Over the years, video games have become a narrative medium in their own right, and modern games offer an amazing experience that sometimes further **blurs the lines between games and cinema**.

For example, the development team of [The Order: 1886](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Order+1886&wa=true) decided to make the game more filmic by adding imperfections such as lens flare or dirt on the screen, as if it were a real dirty camera, to immerse the player who is used to this kind of imperfections from live action movies or documentaries, in the game.

[**Naughty Dog games**](https://www.naughtydog.com/) like **Uncharted** or **The Last of Us** offer spectacular graphics and settings and, above all, very subtle narratives and characters, guaranteeing an experience that goes beyond the game.

Another interesting example is **Red Dead Redemption**, which has received critical acclaim for its narrative and graphics. The development team did research through America and analyzed classic Western films to develop the game. So when you type [**Red Dead Redemption**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Red+Dead+Redemption), our AI fetches** spectacular screencaps from Western movies** that are very similar to the video game, and some of them probably directly inspired the development team.

<Grid id="2"/>

Through these searches ([The Last of Us](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Last+of+Us), [Uncharted](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Uncharted) or [Red Dead Redemption](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Red+Dead+Redemption)), we can also see how much our **AI** is able to deeply understand and interpret them, from their iconography to their color palette, but also their characteristics as a video game.

 

## How do video games inspire cinema?

When we search a **video game** in our database, our **Artificial Intelligence** looks for images with the same atmosphere, color palette, settings, postures, etc. but also for [**images with a video game aesthetic**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=video+game+aesthetic).

We allude to the obvious iconographic elements such as [**player character**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=video+games&img=hFGIuEJMfZbOyqRBBQkb), 
[**game over**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=video+games&img=zAtgb4Mgo72okmhSnPf2), etc., that are common in **science fiction films whose story takes place in a [virtual reality](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=virtual+reality) or in a [video game](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=video+games)**(such as the movie [Scott Pilgrim](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/qxmUBtFhDnv9ZV9SkY2d) or the [Tekken-inspired episode Striking Vipers](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/EJJwCwPp3HCmiwQHPXt2?ft=tekken&img=0%239xcnq8HSLYKW1c1bX0YZ&wa=true) in [Black Mirror](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/EJJwCwPp3HCmiwQHPXt2), but mostly to the way the story is filmed and told.

 

![Black Mirror S5 • E1, 2019](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Black_Mirror_S5_E1_2019_ee5e490a02.png)

 

Firstly, among results, our AI finds [**computer-generated images**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Metal+Gear+Solid&img=E55aLBKFpAaDVqN9jxNZ) or images with a [texture that reminds us of video games](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Metal+Gear+Solid&img=4LV7oRdk0qhKIhP5nv5X). This can be easily explained by the fact that **the cinema industry uses more and more FX and tools from the video game industry**. For [**The Mandalorian**](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/j0C5AmBr18qodKIYwnZx), for example, **the Unreal Engine game engine** was used for creating backgrounds in real time to large LED screens.

Secondly, **the issue of framings and viewpoints** is very interesting and representative of the way our **AI interprets video games**, such as [**first-person shooter viewpoint**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=first-person+shooter) or [**wide-angle shots with characters in front of a landscape**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=the+witcher&img=18cf1716-5624-40bc-9f00-4ac15ebe3181).

 

![ Altered Carbon S1 • E7, 2018](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Altered_Carbon_S1_E7_2018_6d95f0c24d.png)

 

![Justice League, 2017](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Justice_League_2017_1a2ae8c87c.png)

 

Indeed, AI finds many **images with angles similar to those in video games**: ** third-person**, rendered from a fixed distance behind the player character, as in [Tomb Raider](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Tomb+Raider&img=f6jEOOn9M2m20GniS77R), or **first-person**, rendered from the viewpoint of the player's character, as in [Call of Duty](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Call+of+Duty&img=12f60005-39cd-40b0-855c-def0ab6a6fca). Many results from our database seem to be taken directly from a video game.

While this type of shots certainly predates video games, it's also becoming more common in movies and shows **a new way of conceptualizing the cinematic experience**.

One of the best examples of this **gamification** in recent years is undoubtedly [**1917**](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/NkqtKPiQx17rmlqFFC6P) by [Sam Mendes](https://beta.flim.ai/director/U2FtIE1lbmRlcw==), both in the screenplay (the viewer follows two soldiers on their mission), in the editing and in the simulated long take shot (the viewer moves forward with them step by step) and in the immersive angles used. As a result, many viewers and critics have compared [1917](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/NkqtKPiQx17rmlqFFC6P) to [Call of Duty](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Call+of+Duty).

<Grid id="3"/>

**While cinema provided storytelling codes and developed high-end tools for decades** - the 1982 movie [**Tron**](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/VtGQxcAqKWFhHJsu3Wqm), for example, looked more like a video game than a video game itself at the time of its release, with its virtual reality script and sophisticated graphic tools - the trend seems to be reversing more and more.

Today, **modern video games are sparking new directions and creative innovations for movies, TV series, ads or music videos**. And we can see that through our database and thanks to our search engine: search for the name of any video game, whether adapted ([**Arcane**](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/g7RQBclW2LXw5LbwKlmX)) or not ([**The Binding of Isaac**](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=The+Binding+of+Isaac&wa=true)), and our AI will find **screencaps in the style of the game**, both iconographically and aesthetically.

**So what would a video game look like if it were adapted into a movie, or had been a movie? Ask our AI and see.**

Video games, Cinematic Images and Artificial Intelligence 

~~[Daniel Morcos](https://danielmorcos.com/) is a talented, award-winning director, and we’re proud to count him as a committed user of Flim. Daniel wears two hats: he directs commercials and music videos, and he also works as a development consultant, helping clients prepare for investment, pitching, or fixing creative challenges. In his consulting role, Daniel relies on Flim’s Magic Tools ([Style Transfer](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/30) and [Image Mixer](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/29)) to bring creative visions to life. We had a chat with him to get a better grasp of how he uses these tools on a daily basis.~~

 
 

 ###“How did you first start using Flim in your creative process?

As a director, I initially used Flim for more traditional purposes like searching for visual references and building decks. It’s great for color-picking and pulling together similar images. Often I have one image as an idea but I need more: Flim’s capacity to point me in the right direction is very useful.

 
 

###What led you to start using our Magic Tools?

I also work as a development consultant, which means I’m building worlds, in most cases for clients, trying to sell a project’s vision, its time and setting, its characters… It’s not like concept drawings (which I always refer clients to real artists for), but more about showing images that feel like they could be pulled from actual films. That’s where Flim’s Magic Tools are helpful. Sometimes I have a specific image in mind, but it doesn’t quite fit the setting or the tone I need. Flim's ability to tweak an image with just a few clicks has been really useful. 

 
 

###What do you find valuable about Style Transfer and Image Mixer compared to other AI image generators?

Mainly, what sets Flim apart is how close it stays to the source images. With other AI tools like MidJourney, it often goes way off track, and you need to put in a lot of work to train it to understand your style. It's incredibly time-consuming: I can spend a whole day to get three usable images, because I want tasteful, familiar visuals that won’t confuse a reader.
 
 
With Flim, it's two clicks, and I get something I feel confident using in a deck, on a whole slide. It maintains the integrity of the original image, which makes it easier to integrate into projects that often will be using existing works for reference.
 
 
Here’s an example of how I use these images in my decks.
 
 

![ ](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/_1bd010ed9e.png)
 
![ ](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/_22606e027f.png)
 
 

###Could you share an example of a time when Flim’s Magic Tools made a difference?

Sure! For this project I needed an image of two young men walking into the sunset in an open field. I found two references that contained different aspects of what I was looking for. By using the Image Mixer, I got a great result! What I love is that with Flim, I’m not questioning whether it looks like a real reference.
 
 
 
![ ](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Image_Mixer_Blog_304fe1b0aa.png)

 
 

###Do you have any tips to share with us about how to use those tools?

Definitely! I found that when [Style Transfer](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/30) and [Image Mixer](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/29) work best is when the main image is already 80% to 90% right, meaning it already has the right composition and camera angle.
 
 
That’s because these tools aren't great at grasping abstract thinking. You still have to search visually and get as close as possible before using Flim for those final touches. I think it applies to all IA image generation: if you can’t imagine the result you want, you’re kind of playing russian roulette and most of the time it’s not good (but can be amusing). 
 
 
Another tip is that you can combine the tools: using [Image Mixer](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/29) first, and then adjust the setting with [Style Transfer](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/30). The grain and lens effects are spot on. Also if you use [Style Transfer](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/30) twice, it refines the result. It’s a powerful way to fine-tune.
 
 
 
![ ](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Style_Transfer_Blog_93974b1636.png)

 
 

###If you could add a new tool to Flim, what would it be?

It would be great if we had more editing parameters. Like, selecting a specific part of an image to change. That could help world-building much faster than days and days on Midjourney, trying to create something out of thin air.
 
 
Basically, Flim is a training sample: because it has a fantastic library of movies and music videos, the results of image generations are already amazing. So if we have more control over this training sample, for example prompting “use the style of this sample of images”... that could be a powerful tool!
 
 

###Funny enough, that’s exactly what we’re working on next!
###Thanks so much Daniel for sharing your insights with us."

Crafting Pitches with Flim's Magic Tools

Apeshit, The Carters, 2018

~~Music and fashion have always been closely intertwined, with many cultural movements of the 20th century starting with music. Indeed, fashion and high fashion have become a significant aspect of the music industry, and music videos have played a crucial role in this relationship as a medium for artists to express their visual identities, especially since the launch of MTV in 1981.~~

~~[Flim](https://beta.flim.ai/) is not only a tool for creative people, but also an important catalogue of images, an archive of the music videos from the 1960s to the 2020s. So here is an overview of some of the music videos we have and how they relate to the fashion industry and society in general. A way to explore our database and to see how AI allows you to dive into the connection between music and fashion.~~

 
 

## 1940s TO 1970s: AN HISTORY OF MUSIC, FASHION AND SOCIETY

The links between music and fashion run throughout the **20th century**, but especially after the **Second World War**. The claim to belong to a group and its music, its codes, its beliefs, its clothes, its attitude, etc. developed, giving rise to as many **cultural movements** as there are musical styles and thus looks. 

<Grid id="1"/>
 
From the **1940s** onwards, teen-oriented popular music had become common. Fans began to adopt the **style of their idols**, like the 'Bobby-Soxers' and Frank Sinatra, teen pop and Elvis Presley, etc.: the **teen fashion industry** was born.

<Grid id="2"/>
 
In the **1960s**, music videos were not yet widespread, but the **Scopitone**, a visual jukebox, had some success in France. Its use spread to other countries and similar machines such as the **Cinebox** in Italy and **Color-sonic** in the USA were developed. 

At the same time, many **subcultures emerged**: the [Mods](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=mods+style) in the 1950s, [Beatlemania](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Beatlemania) in the following decade, then the [hippies](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=hippies)... They all had one thing in common, **music and clothing** were unifying elements and the expressions of their beliefs and lifestyles.

<Grid id="3"/>

**1970s** and **1980s** were the years of **visual experiences and effects**, performances and costumes, like the outrageous and androgynous costumes, make-up and hairstyles of [Glam Rock](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Glam+rock) or the glittering and flamboyant ones of [Disco](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Disco).

 <Grid id="4"/>
 
Among the icons of these years: **[David Bowie](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/RGF2aWQgQm93aWU=)**, the **Glam Rock icon** known for his many collaborations with high fashion designers such as **Yamamoto**, [Freddie Mercury](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/RnJlZGRpZSBNZXJjdXJ5) and his eccentric, flamboyant and **high-glam style** brought to life by the dramatic musical biographical film [Bohemian Rhapsody](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/sWFSasWVhvCyXCIDc3ht), **[Michael Jackson](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/TWljaGFlbCBKYWNrc29u)**, the king of pop who immortalized the [Thriller jacket](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/HSE3Xl5jULjKaBtMIDQq?ft=Thriller+jacket&wa=true) and [the Fedora](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/HSE3Xl5jULjKaBtMIDQq?ft=Fedora&wa=true). 

 <Grid id="5"/>
 
All of them are representative of a growing cultural fact: bands and musicians claimed a bolder style and collaborations with designers intensified.

 
 

## 1980s TO 2020s: THE BIRTH OF MTV AND THE RISE OF MUSIC VIDEOS

In the [1980s](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS&ygte=1980&ylt=1985), the music and **music video industry** flourished greatly. The **launch of MTV in 1981** marked the beginning of a new era in the **history of music videos** as we know them. From the mid-1980s to the 2000s, music videos explored all genres and played a central role in the marketing of popular music and thus also in the **fashion industry**. 

Some were conceived as short films like the famous music videos by **Mylène Farmer** or **[David Fincher](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RGF2aWQgRmluY2hlcg%3D%3D)** for the stylish neo-noir video **[Freedom! '90](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/cc0U0NNQC5)** by [**George Michael**](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/R2VvcmdlIE1pY2hhZWw%3D) featuring the world's most famous supermodels: Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz. 

 <Grid id="6"/>

On the side of subcultures, many styles emerged with their **own visual codes**: Rap, Hip-Hop, Punk Rock, Goth, Grunge, New Wave, Death Rock, etc. The clothing style of these movements became as much a question of **identity** as of **marketing**. 

 <Grid id="7"/>
 
**Rap and Hip-Hop**, for example, which had become the predominant way for artists and young people to express their **feelings** and **social injustices** in the 1990s, brought **loose clothing** into fashion, while Hip-Hop, R&B or pop styles in the following decade were characterised by short and tight clothing (for feminin gender at least). We have made a collection about the [Noughties](https://beta.flim.ai/collection/6XHzOFG4gdHbX0zRPDVQ?wa=true) (a style very much back in fashion today!): take a look at it will bring back good memories.

<Grid id="9"/>

At the same time, **collaborations between fashion designers and musicians** continued and became more and more important in shows or music videos.

<Grid id="12"/>

In the **2010s** and **2020s**, the music industry continued to flourish even though the internet, platforms and social networks have changed the way we listen to music and watch videos. In response, the music video industry was investing more than ever in **sophisticated, artistic videos**: [**Beyoncé**](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/QmV5b25jw6k=), **[Lil Nas X](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/TGlsIE5hcyBY)**, **[Kanye West](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/S2FueWUgV2VzdA%3D%3D)**, **[Rihanna](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/UmloYW5uYQ%3D%3D)**, **[Harry Styles](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/SGFycnkgU3R5bGVz)**, **[Cardi B](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/Q2FyZGkgQg%3D%3D)**...

<Grid id="13"/>

**Clothes and collaborations with fashion designers** played a very important role in these music videos as marketing and artistic products. Today's celebrities have even become **fashion icons and trendsetters**, creating their own fashion line and entering into numerous collaborations (**[Lil Nas X](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/TGlsIE5hcyBY)** & Jean Paul Gaultier, [**Kanye West**](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/S2FueWUgV2VzdA%3D%3D) & Adidas…)

Most recently, **Björk's** two music videos from her tenth studio album Fossora have been critically acclaimed for their incredible **phantasmagorical and organic world** that mirrors her experimental sounds and the concept behind this album: **the return to nature**. In ovule, Icelandic singer-musician wears a dress designed by Gucci's Creative Director **Alessandro Michele** with whom she collaborated in 2017. Gucci produced a [short film](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLBt4L_pDBg) of it, describing the craftsmanship behind the 'Ovule' dress.

## YOUR TURN TO PLAY WITH AI 

We hope you enjoyed this overview of **[music videos](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS) and fashion** through our [screenshot database](https://beta.flim.ai/). These examples are just a glimpse of the many subcultures that highlight this connection. At Flim, we strive to keep our database updated by regularly featuring new music videos in our 'New Stills of the Month' articles. So keep an eye out for them and continue to explore the dynamic **relationship between music and fashion**!

Now let's play with AI. Because beyond fashion in music videos, our **AI-powered search engine** allows you to explore **the influence of various cultural movements on visual creation** as a whole. By entering words as music styles, bands, or musicians, our AI will find the most relevant images and showcase how music has shaped and continues to shape the fashion industry and visual arts in general as both social and aesthetic phenomena. 

It's a well-known fact that **musical and fashion styles are closely intertwined**, to the point where certain clothing styles are named after the musical genre that originated them. Flim's **AI-powered search engine** is particularly useful for this type of research, allowing you **to create moodboards** by searching for specific keywords. For example, searching for "[rock'n'roll](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=rock%27n%27roll)" will yield images of [rock'n'roll shows](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=rock%27n%27roll&img=19f0e8de-fc94-4a31-ab02-c62c217a015c) or [rock'n'roll attitudes](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=rock%27n%27roll&img=m4xoAdWDCy1Je6iLrlMB), while searching for "[rock'n'roll looks](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=rock%27n%27roll+looks)” or “[rock'n'roll fashion](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=rock%27n%27roll+fashion)" will return images of specific outfits.

<Grid id="18"/>

We now invite you to dive into the depths of the Flim database and explore the relationship between music and fashion for yourself. Have fun!

Search Engine.png

~~Flim.ai is ushering in a new era of creativity in 2024 with the **release of an innovative suite of AI-powered tools**. To kick things off, we are unveiling our groundbreaking **updated search engine**, designed to transform your search experience.~~

~~**Now faster, more accurate, and more advanced**, it's perfectly aligned with your visual mind, creative references or filmmaking needs. That means you can finally search for specific techniques such as **composition** or **camera angles**. It was already great, and now it's even better. Witness its power through before-and-after examples and get ready for a new level of searching that's in sync with your creative flow.~~

## VISUAL & FILMMAKING TECHNIQUES 
 
One of our key objectives was to train our new search engine to grasp the** intricacies of cinematic language** and **visual techniques**. This means that on Flim, you not only benefit from technical filters, such as frame size and ratio, but you can also articulate your creative intent directly in the search bar. The engine is attuned to understand the complexities of filmmaking and artistic expression, allowing you to **search for specific shot types, explore cinematic lighting, and refine your queries based on composition** and more.

 
 

### Shot Type

![Low angle of girl in the street.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Low_angle_of_girl_in_the_street_d2bd6fd755.png)

 
 

###Lighting

![LIGHTING.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/LIGHTING_9bb68605a8.png)

 
 

## AESTHETICS & REFERENCES

 

With the latest update, our engine is attuned to **contemporary cultural trends**, embracing **new aesthetics, pop culture, and recent film releases**. For instance, what we particularly love at Flim are "aesthetics" and especially aesthetics from the internet. While our previous search engine recognized well-known ones, the new engine now encompasses a wide range of aesthetics which have gained popularity on platforms like TikTok. A fun way to make searches. We'll let you explore it yourself.

 
 

![CITY POP.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/CITY_POP_5762c77e4a.png)

 
 

## ICONOGRAPHIC & CONCEPTUAL SEARCHES
 
Finally, we were already very proud of our old search engine for simple or **complex iconographic searches**, but we've worked hard to make this update truly amazing. We've made sure that outgoing results are less "interpreted" by the AI and more in line with your actual intent. It's less random, much more exact. Less out of touch, more direct. And less dark. It's still Flim. Only better.

Magic Tool — AI Suggestions

Stranger Flim

We are very proud to announce this news, because since we launched Flim two years ago, we have managed to add [**movies**](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=MOVIES), [**documentaries**](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=DOCUMENTARIES), [**music videos**](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS), [**anime**](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=ANIMATION&wa=true), [**ads**](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=ADS) and now [**TV series**](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=TVSERIES). And you know what? We are by far the image database that collects the most TV series stills! More than **38.000 screenshots** from 54 series are already available.

We are also the only database that collects all genres in one place. This is a part of our global vision of artistic inspiration and consequently what we want to create with Flim: **a platform where all video creations can be linked and connected**. 

Nowadays, movies inspire other media and vice versa: the latest music video by Kanye West can be an inspiration for a TV series episode or an advertising for new shoes. It was therefore obvious to have[ **TV series stills**](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=TVSERIES), especially in this time when they have become indispensable in **contemporary visual culture**. 

From **Netflix** to **HBO**, from **drama** to **anime**, we have cult series like [**Dragon Ball Z**](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/MEBdAGKEP5xLhPMRdmrB), current releases like [**Arcane**](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/g7RQBclW2LXw5LbwKlmX), but also more intimist series like [**Food Wars**](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/H2QiruHllL8jHTuXjFxR). And that's just the beginning! In the meantime, discover a part of our database with a **selection of TV series stills** we love.

<Slider id="1"/>

**Flim's tips:** If you want to search for the images within one episode, it's possible thanks to a new filter we have specially designed. Try it with the first episode of [**Black Mirror**](https://beta.flim.ai/tvserie/Gb1ulLSLLJx1zhsgm5ku) for example.

TV Series now on Flim

500,000 stills now on Flim

~~It took us more than a year, but finally we are there: **[Flim database](https://beta.flim.ai/) now contains more than 500,000 images**! We are very proud of this result, and it's not just about the number of stills, but above all about the selection and the quality of them.~~

~~We want to show the video visual creation in its entirety ([movies](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=MOVIES), [TV series](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=TVSERIES), [documentaries](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=DOCUMENTARIES), [ads](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=ADS), [music videos](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS), [animation](https://beta.flim.ai/?wa=true&oa=true)), and to bring you **the best screenshots of each video**. For that purpose, we carefully select each screencap thanks to **the combination of AI and human approval**. And this is just the beginning: **over 1 million images next year!**~~

~~To celebrate this first step, here is a selection of some stills recently uploaded on the database. Enjoy!~~

Ugly Boy, Die Antwoord, 2020

From mainstream to alternative music, from the 1980s to the early 2020s, we've uploaded 29,661 HD screenshots extracted from 1,235 [music videos](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS) so far. [Pop](https://beta.flim.ai/?g=POP&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS), [hip-hop](https://beta.flim.ai/?g=HIP-HOP&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS), [electronic](https://beta.flim.ai/?g=ELECTRONIC&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS), [rock](https://beta.flim.ai/?g=ROCK&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS), [rap](https://beta.flim.ai/?g=RAP&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS), [R&B](https://beta.flim.ai/?g=R%26B&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS), [indie](https://beta.flim.ai/?g=INDIE&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS)… All genres are on our images database! We especially appreciate music videos because they're certainly one of the video genres that experiment the most with visual creations: they combine a wide range of styles (narrative, abstract, documentary…) and techniques (anime, live-action, live…). Thanks to all this experimentation and the artists's ingenuity they've become very important in the music industry and in the audiovisual world as a whole.

The history of music videos is a story about the combination of images and sounds. Early musical shorts, cartoons such as [Fantasia](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/98ae3daa-644b-4a06-953c-2b9ffbe52f83), musical films like [Singin' in the Rain](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/pExdhSvmifAqW0Cf8zeh) or [West Side Story](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/2a6bew8YrrOxJu9RA7LA): the connections between video and music have marked the 20th century. Promotional videos have flourished from the late 1950s with the introduction of the Scopitone (in France first!), but the real beginning of music videos as we know them started in 1981 with the launch of the MTV video channel.

From the mid-1980s to the 2000s, music videos explored all genres and grew to play a central role in popular music marketing. We dedicated an article to music videos remastered in 4K from this period we have. Go take a look: [Michael Jackson](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/TWljaGFlbCBKYWNrc29u), [Freddie Mercury](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/RnJlZGRpZSBNZXJjdXJ5), [Pink Floyd](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/UGluayBGbG95ZA==), [Whitney Houston](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/V2hpdG5leSBIb3VzdG9u), [The Notorious B.i.g.](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/VGhlIE5vdG9yaW91cyBCLmkuZy4=), [The Cranberries](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/VGhlIENyYW5iZXJyaWVz)… It'll bring back good memories.

Since then, music videos have been the vehicles of an aesthetic experience that's not limited to what they say or depict, but that aims above all at what they make people feel, precisely thanks to the combination of music and images.

So let's start with one of the most obvious connections and the resulting iconography: music and dance. Many music videos are an extraordinary catalog of different choreographies designed to make the viewer dance and immerse him or her in the flow of the music. And you're in luck, we collect all styles!

For example, pop music videos often feature long or medium-length shots with groups of synchronized dancers, like [Ariana Grande](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/QXJpYW5hIEdyYW5kZQ==), [Beyoncé](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/QmV5b25jw6k=), [Dua Lipa](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/RHVhIExpcGE=), [Lil Nas X](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/TGlsIE5hcyBY) and all the kings and queens of pop music, while electronic music videos can feature hypnotic choreography like [Sweat](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccIUJCGKPA) by [Major Lazer](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/TWFqb3IgTGF6ZXI=) and directed by the great [Ryan Staake](https://beta.flim.ai/director/UnlhbiBTdGFha2U=) or the slow-motion and solo shots in [The Blaze](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/VGhlIEJsYXpl) music videos like [Territory](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccTPVQ64GH).

<Slider id="1"/>

To find more examples of interesting stills with dancers you can search "[synchronized people dancing](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=synchronized+people+dancing&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS)", "[hypnotic solo dancer](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=hypnotic+solo+dancer&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS)", "[disjointed body dancing](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=disjointed+body+dancing&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS)" or "[lascivious dance](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=lascivious+dance&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS)" throughout music videos or in a specific genre.

As for hip-hop music videos, we also have a large collection of still images with one of the typical codes of this genre: shots where the singer makes expressive gestures and is surrounded by his team. Try it out! Just type in "[singer and his crew](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=singer+and+his+crew&g=HIP-HOP&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS)" in the hip-hop genre and check it out: [Drake](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/RHJha2U=), [Orelsan](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/T3JlbHNhbg==), [The Notorious B.i.g.](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/VGhlIE5vdG9yaW91cyBCLmkuZy4=)etc.

<Slider id="2"/>

The interesting thing about music videos is that the music exists before the video. The music is the source for the movement of the images: They illustrate both the lyrics and the musicality, so there's a primacy of music over images - which is uncommon in the audiovisual world where music usually accompanies images. That's certainly why music videos are an extraordinary field of experimentation, because the goal is to create a total work of art. And that's why some directors have a narrative approach and tell a story (with or without illustration of the lyrics) like [Romain Gavras](https://beta.flim.ai/director/Um9tYWluIEdhdnJhcw==) for the disturbing and violent [Born Free](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccRNPMTJKG) by [M.i.a.](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/TS5pLmEu), or [Dave Meyers](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RGF2ZSBNZXllcnM=) in [Way 2 Sexy](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccI9WTS7NF) in which [Drake](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/RHJha2U=) alternates between various pop culture's ideals of sex appeal, while others take a much more conceptual or abstract approach.

Some artists actually choose not to tell a story but to show images based on the sounds, atmosphere and general mood of their music. This is very often the case with electro, electropop or alternative music but not only. The results are conceptual videos like [Hostage](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccY9UIVVTB) directed by [Henry Scholfield](https://beta.flim.ai/director/SGVucnkgU2Nob2xmaWVsZA==) for [Billie Eilish](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/QmlsbGllIEVpbGlzaA==), [Projector](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccT564N6V5) by [Eden](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/RWRlbg==), in which the artist moves in a dream-like and unreal universe, [T69 Collapse](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/cc0MQ0FEN6) by [Aphex Twin](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/QXBoZXggVHdpbg==) or [Tides](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccAFG28DOM) by [Bonobo](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/Qm9ub2Jv), completely abstract and without character. For more, you can type « [abstract](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=abstract&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS) » or « [conceptual](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=conceptual&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS) » and our AI will provide you with these kinds of still images.

<Slider id="3"/>

Moreover, some music videos are shot during [concerts](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=concerts&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS), like as [Niggas in Paris](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/cc8HTSFWI6) by [Kanye West](https://beta.flim.ai/director/S2FueWUgV2VzdA==) filmed in Paris or during [studio recordings](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=studio+recordings&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS) (or reproduce them) as [Leave the Door Open](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccETOTIHU9) by [Bruno Mars](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/QnJ1bm8gTWFycw==) directed by [Florent Dechard](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RmxvcmVudCBEZWNoYXJkIA==), in which the singer seems to show himself more authentically than in other of his music videos. Some others combine concerts and studio recordings with filming, like [Don't speak](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccVMGW705X) by [No Doubt](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/Tm8gRG91YnQ=).

In addition to the iconographic elements that are inherent or at least widespread in the music video, such as choreographies, concerts or abstract approaches, music videos also offer images of extraordinary settings and costumes. Just think of the outfits of [Lil Nas X](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/TGlsIE5hcyBY) and [Cardi B](https://beta.flim.ai/artist/Q2FyZGkgQg==). And we also have a lot of lesser known artists in our database as . Try out "[dream-like landscape](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=dream-like+landscape&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS)" or "[fantastic costumes](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=fantastic+costumes&mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS)", for example, and discover artificial and crazy images from all over the world, from all genres.

Hope you enjoyed this brief overview of what we have. Our teams work hard to bring you the best stills from music videos and new stills are uploaded every day, so keep an eye on them!

Music videos are on Flim!

Never Idle, Valvoline, 2017

Last year was the year of new genres on Flim: [music videos](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=MUSIC_VIDEOS) and [TV series](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=TVSERIES) were launched and we are very proud of this diversity. Today it's the turn of [ads](https://beta.flim.ai/?mt=ADS) to have their own stills selection here. We have to date collected 13,262 stills from 709 ads: [Clothes](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Clothes&mt=ADS), [sneakers](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=sneakers&mt=ADS), [cosmetics](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=cosmetics&mt=ADS), [food](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=food&mt=ADS), [drinks](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=soda&mt=ADS),[cars](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=cars&mt=ADS) , [banks](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=bank&mt=ADS), [phones](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=phones&mt=ADS), [furnitures](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=furnitures&mt=ADS), [pet food](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=pet+food&mt=ADS)... We are interested in all areas. But as you probably know, we are very demanding when it comes to the stills we collect. We want to show ads created with a real artistic vision and consequently ads that can in turn inspire advertising or any other form of visual creation. So let's review what we have in a few images.

As with the other types in our database, you can filter your search by color, number of characters or release year. And the oldest ad we have is [The Film](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aaRBWYNTMM) by French director [Michel Gondry](https://beta.flim.ai/director/TWljaGVsIEdvbmRyeQ==) for Motorola, in which we find the whole world of its director: childish onirism made of cardboards and strings. At that time [Michel Gondry](https://beta.flim.ai/director/TWljaGVsIEdvbmRyeQ==) was already a famous director of music videos, movies and other ads. He is, among so many others, an example of how brands and advertisers seek the genius of great artists to translate their artistic vision into promotional videos.

<Slider id="1"/>

We can also mention [Nicolas Winding Refn](https://beta.flim.ai/director/Tmljb2xhcyBXaW5kaW5nIFJlZm4=), from whom we have collected five advertisements, such as the recent [Where Fashion Comes to Life](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aaR77T33WH) for 24 Sèvres, in which we find his red, purple or blue lights, his sophisticated composition and his artificial and unreal atmospheres, or the more urban [Shangai Fast](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aaVKGR15FZ) for Nike. Nike, Adidas, Puma and other sneaker brands always offer ads about rising above thanks to sports. Sometimes with a humorous tone as [Choose go](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aa4Y6VPX0U) by [Edgar Wright](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RWRnYXIgV3JpZ2h0) in which the director, known for his satirical genre films, uses the codes of disaster movies, often with a very serious tone, like [Your future is not mine](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aa7EEOINFW) for Adidas by [Terence Meale](https://beta.flim.ai/director/VGVyZW5jZSBOZWFsZQ==) and [Limitless](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aaBR9NWPYZ) for Puma by [Jovan Todorovic](https://beta.flim.ai/director/Sm92YW4gVG9kb3Jvdmlj).

And that's one of the most interesting things about advertising: the way an everyday life product like sneakers or cars can lead to very aesthetic videos. We all have in mind the spectacular "[extreme wide shot of landscape with cars](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=Extreme+wide+shot+of+landscape+with+car&mt=ADS)", driving through shady landscapes like [Storm](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aaCS8NWCVM) by [Salomon Ligthelm](https://beta.flim.ai/director/U2Fsb21vbiBMaWd0aGVsbQ==) for Mercedes Benz or [Adaption](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aa546MSAKG) by [Dorian & Daniel](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RG9yaWFuICYgRGFuaWVs) for Peugeot for example.

You can also try the search "[in the bathroom](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=in+the+bathroom&mt=ADS)", which offers images filmed as funny genre scenes, like [Buttery Dunes](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aaJJUHUB6V?img=14%23F0FBzQBshgHPo4LxJEgc&wa=true) for Dollar Shave Club or [The New Axe effect](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aaHYI09X98?img=1%23wGWSS8Lq5lqf3JT0Slt1&wa=true), or try just "[food](https://beta.flim.ai/?ft=food&mt=ADS)", which proposes refined and pop images, like the spot [Celebrating 150 Years of Heinz](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aaD0NTVC2F) by [Dom & Nic.](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RG9tICYgTmlj) It features the famous catsup crossing the ages in plates filmed from above: a very creative and colorful ad for what is surely one of the most popular products in the world.

As you can imagine, fashion and luxury brands make up a large part of our images from advertising. Fashion advertising is certainly the industry where we find the most collaborations between famous great directors from cinema. [Gaspar Noe](https://beta.flim.ai/director/R2FzcGFyIE5vw6k=) and his mysterious and psychedelic short film [Summer of 21](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aa2UL3K7JR) for Saint-Laurent, inspired by [Suspiria](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/CshpfE5Z3QBSKZZS3IHo), [Eyes Wide Shut](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/LGhjXMKKPBYl9bFtON4V) and [Davyd Lynch](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RGF2aWQgTHluY2g=) aesthetic. [Jean-Pierre Jeunet](https://beta.flim.ai/director/SmVhbi1QaWVycmUgSmV1bmV0) and his epic ad [Chanel](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aaLCQHY0V6), which is a great example of how advertising wants to reproduce the emotions generated by cinema. We can also mention [Yorgos Lanthimos](https://beta.flim.ai/director/WW9yZ29zIExhbnRoaW1vcw==) with [Of Course a horse](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aa3OARTL76) for Gucci, in which we find the director's pastel palette and his absurd iconography.

<Slider id="6"/>

<Slider id="7"/>

Even if these examples show the links between advertising and cinema, ads nevertheless keep their own codes because the goal is to represent the identity and vision of a brand. And there are directors most dedicated to advertising, such as [Kim Gehrig](https://beta.flim.ai/director/S2ltIEdlaHJpZw==), [Daniel Wolfe](https://beta.flim.ai/director/RGFuaWVsIFdvbGZl) or one of our favorites: [Salomon Ligthelm](https://beta.flim.ai/director/U2Fsb21vbiBMaWd0aGVsbQ==), who has produced numerous commercials and video clips so far, like the very powerful and impressive [Mictlan](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aa2Q1GUET7) for the Mexican beer Victoria, inspired by Aztec mythology, or the contemplative [Speak We're Listening](https://beta.flim.ai/ad/aaA52PCR4N) for Hillsong Conference.

100 Talents in 30 Days

35QZ6Nh13xEWFi957YZL.png

**We're Flim.ai**. Founded by two creatives — a director and a producer — our vision is to provide artists with an endless source of cinematic imagery. Our ambition: to become a global reference for cinematic visual archives.

From the start, we embraced new technologies. Flim evolved into Flim.ai: a diverse database of images and videos powered by AI. Thus, we were ushering in a new era in visual research, offering a more inspiring and conceptual tool tailored to creative minds.

**Now, we're taking it a step further by embracing Generative Artificial Intelligence into our project.**

 

## WHY?

Flim.ai is a constantly evolving space, in tune with creatives and creativity.

As we continuously enrich our database with original content and new tools, we've eagerly observed the recent developments in AI, especially generative AI. However, we don't see it as a replacement for human creation or a means to replace original content. Instead, we view it as a complementary tool in the creative process. 

**AI represents an extension of creativity that aligns seamlessly with our mission: to inspire you.**

## WHAT?

Our goal is to provide creatives with a variety of tools to enhance their visual research, allowing for experimentation and effective communication of ideas.

While the concept of "infinite creation" is often discussed in the excitement surrounding generative AI, we acknowledge this potential while also regarding AI-generated works as "unfinished." We make a clear distinction between finished original works, central to our platform, and AI-generated works, intended to assist creatives in their process. That's why we will continue Flim.ai's core mission of introducing diverse original content while carefully integrating the capabilities of generative AI.

**From inspiration to ideation, Flim assists you at every step of your creative process.**

## HOW?

For all these reasons and convictions, we commit to: 

- Systematically and clearly distinguishing images generated by Flim's AI tools with a **watermark**. 
- Ensure that each user signs and adheres to a **strict code of conduct**. 
- Do not allow any generation of images containing child nudity, images containing recognizable or existing individuals, and images that could be perceived as deepfakes. 
- Prevent the generation of images with content from **copyright holders** who would not consent to the use of their images for AI generation purposes. 
- **Do not authorize images generated by AI on Flim for commercial purposes**. Generated images on Flim.ai are not royalty-free and are subject to the identical terms and conditions as the rest of the images on Flim.

##Focus on Artists, Stylists, MUA, & more

~~**It’s Time** - The celebration of 1 Million Stills on Flim & The 100 To Watch is drawing to a close. We hope you've enjoyed this event as much as we have.~~

~~Following our spotlight on numerous Directors, DOPs, Production Designers, and more, it's time for another facet of Art Direction to step into the limelight. Today we've handpicked **artists, stylists, MUA**, and more who've worked on 2023 music videos and campaigns that we've won't forget.~~

~~When music collides with high fashion and visual artists, when sports brands team up with the trendiest musicians of their generation, welcome to our final curation of 2023.~~



##Larissa Bechtold & Clare Byrne for Troye Sivan

[Got Me Started, 2023](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccS5SQDAYG)

 

Got me started and Rush appear to follow the same vein, featuring the same director and DOP. We can't talk about these clips without mentioning the stunning fashion outfits chosen by **Clare Byrne** and **Larissa Bechtold** . We love the gorgeous Swarovski crystal top Troye wears walking the streets of Bangkok as much as the eyelet-red Rabanne one in Rush. And of course, there's the utterly resplendent silver jumpsuit from Gucci's SS24 series, which incorporates tiny mirror squares to create an iridescent mirror ball outfit from head to toe, fully embracing the metallic look. Through these styles, Troye Sivan confirms that men's fashion is now more liberated and sexier than ever.

##Billy Lobos for Eartheater

They collaborated with influential figures among the new generation, such as musicians Joy Crookes and Stormzy, filmed by director Yoni Lappin.

 

##Oh Seong Seok & Ivan Núñez for Kali Uchis

![yHKmcKtwWOSJXFygjA86.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/y_H_Kmc_Ktw_WOSJX_Fygj_A86_01c6c565b7.png)

Lindsey Hartman's styling work and, above all, **Chelsea Delfino**'s prosthetics, assisted by **Jason Hamer** (@hamer_fx), crafted the beautifully disturbing squid-like "mermaid" tail in just two weeks, making the crustaceans look more real than life. **Santino Ferrese** (@sffxstudios) sculpted, molded, and painted a total of 8 shrimp faces for the shrimp heads.

 


##Anna Gloria Flores for Ashnikko

Ashnikko wears designer **Anna Gloria Flores**' latex costumes, intended to mimic a human membrane. Flores used a chemical process to permanently alter the latex texture, resulting in a silky, smooth feel. The interlacing tubes and latex texture create an atmosphere that is both futuristic and organic.

[Nsera](https://beta.flim.ai/music_video/ccAK9813QF)

 

‘Nsera’, or destination in Bambara, is an anthem to the landscapes, people and colors of Mali. This vision is reflected in the styling selections of **Dabby Naval**, who won the Uk Award for Best Music Video Styling in 2023. With an Afrofuturist touch and vibrant colors, the stylist combines ancient traditions with modernity.

100 TALENTS IN 30 DAYS 

cover.png

~~Following the **[Image Mixer 1.0](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/20)**, we’re thrilled to unveil the **Image Mixer 2.0** — the next generation of our innovative AI tool.~~
~~Designed to **speed up your creative process**, this tool now delivers better results, **more realistic and professional**. Let’s take a closer look at the upgrades with some striking before-and-after examples.~~

 
 

##How Does it Work?

 

1. Open the **AI dock** and click on the **Image Mixer icon** 
2. **Drag and drop** two images from the grid 
3. **Add the percentage to each image** to determine the importance of one or the other
5. Click **Generate** and let the magic of AI operate

 
 

<center>![Image Mixer.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Image_Mixer_af3e631514.png)</center>

 
 


In mere seconds, the AI **analyzes and harmonizes the aesthetics and composition** of the stills you selected, resulting in instantly **downloadable, unique visuals** – no prompts needed, just a few clicks. All generated images will be saved in your 'My Generations' page. You have **100 AI credits per month** (1 credit = 2 generations). 

 

Image Mixer is designed for **rapid ideation**, enabling you to quickly experiment with composition ideas, settings, aesthetics, backgrounds, and more. 

 

##What has been improved?

###Human Form Redefined

 

**Image Mixer 2.0** brings **clarity and precision to human figures**, reducing awkward distortions, cursed faces, and uncanny creatures. 

 

<center>![01_Human Form Redefined.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/01_Human_Form_Redefined_4e4170b796.png)</center>

 

###Real Scale and Perspective

 

**Image Mixer 2.0** offers a major improvement: **proportions and perspectives** feel more grounded and well-balanced.

 

<center>![02_Real Scale and Perspective.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/02_Real_Scale_and_Perspective_26f2889647.png)</center>

 

###Grain and Texture

 

Gone are the days of cheap-looking or overly vintage grain. **Image Mixer 2.0** better respects the original quality of the images with **improved realism and a more photographic finish**.

 

<center>![03_Grain and Texture.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/03_Grain_and_Texture_d68f2eec05.png)</center>

 

###Color Refinement

 

We’ve also worked on **color rendering** to make it more realistic. The result may seem slightly less vibrant, but **it avoids the overly saturated, artificial look** often associated with AI-generated visuals.

 

<center>![04_Color Refinement.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/04_Color_Refinement_088021cc16.png)</center>

 

###From Artistic Interpretation to Precise Fusion

 

AI’s interpretation has become more literal and less ‘poetic’. Think of Image Mixer 2.0 as a true **fusion tool**—blending elements, composition, and atmosphere—rather than an illustration generator that can take creative liberties.

 

<center>![05_From Artistic Interpretation to Precise Fusion.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/05_From_Artistic_Interpretation_to_Precise_Fusion_58305c7cf1.png)</center>

 

###Finer Control Over Image Blending

 

The slider that used to determine the weight of each image in the final result has been replaced by a **percentage-based system**. The principle remains the same, but this adjustment has a much stronger impact on the final output. Make sure to fine-tune it according to your vision and regenerate if needed to achieve the perfect balance.

 

<center>![06_4_Finer Control Over Image Blending.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/06_4_Finer_Control_Over_Image_Blending_d937f2bf97.png)</center>

 

###Improve You Workflow and Unlock Infinite Possibilities

 

Our Magic Tools **Image Mixer** and [**Style Transfer**](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/30) are designed to work together seamlessly. Whether you’re working with existing or generated visuals, **each image can be reprocessed endlessly with either tool**, giving you the freedom to refine and perfect your ideas until they fully align with your vision.

**FROM IMAGE MIXER TO STYLE TRANSFER**

For example, use **Image Mixer** to add an iconographic element to a shot, then use [**Style Transfer**](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/30) to adjust the lighting, the season, or the weather.

 

<center>![07_01_Improve You Workflow and Unlock Infinite Possibilities.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/07_01_Improve_You_Workflow_and_Unlock_Infinite_Possibilities_9f6dce2817.png)</center>

 

**FROM STYLE TRANSFER TO IMAGE MIXER**


Another handy tip: If a [**Style Transfer**](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/30) result appears low-quality, lacks sharpness or feels a bit off, simply blend the image with itself using **Image Mixer**. This will enhance the overall definition and impact of the visual, giving you a cleaner, more polished result.

<center>![07_02_Improve You Workflow and Unlock Infinite Possibilities.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/07_02_Improve_You_Workflow_and_Unlock_Infinite_Possibilities_a6c00ec2b1.png)</center>

~~Welcome to Boards, the new innovative workspace designed to streamline your creative process and where technology fuels creativity. This fresh approach to saving, organizing, and sharing your discoveries is tailored to enhance your workflow and foster collaboration.~~

~~The Boards system will be enriched with new features over time, as Flim.ai is currently undergoing a complete website update. Here's the first drop!~~

## The Saved Page

### One click, one central folder 

**The Saved System ensures that you always keep track of the content you interact with.**

 

#### How does it work?

When you press the Saved icon to add images in a Board, they are automatically stored in your personal Saved folder. An easy way to revisit your favorite images and never lose an image again. 

![01_BOARDS - SAVED SYSTEM .png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/01_BOARDS_SAVED_SYSTEM_c496a8b36c.png)

Remember: any image you choose to remove from your Saved will be fully removed from all of your Boards.

) to find out all about this new system. 

 

## The Boards

### VISUAL CURATION - Smoothly explore content & build your Boards 

**The new interface offers versatile options to create Boards, seamlessly and quickly integrating into your workflow without disrupting your creative process.**

![02_BOARDS - CREATION .png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/02_BOARDS_CREATION_21371e602a.png)

You can now create a Board from either the visual grid or your dashboard, add or remove one or multiple images at a time, and much more.
 
![03_BOARDS - MULTISELECTION .png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/03_BOARDS_MULTISELECTION_8bbc8ef133.png)

To enhance your Boards, stay tuned for **Prompt to Board** and **AI Suggestions**- two AI-powered features coming soon. In the meantime, leverage the Find Similar tool for swift recommendations based on your selected visual.

 
 

### BOARDS MANAGEMENT - Seamlessly organize your creative projects 

**The new dashboard offers a multitude of options for managing your creative projects by organizing sorting, filtering and customizing your Boards.** In the same way, you can now sort the stills within each Board according to several criteria.

![04_BOARDS - MANAGEMENT .png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/04_BOARDS_MANAGEMENT_199af6bdd2.png)

Overall, the new Boards system streamlines the curation process. From idea to project organization, it offers customizable features to improve your work.

 
 

### FAVORITES - Always keep your ongoing Boards in sight

**To highlight specific Boards and keep them in sight, mark them as favorites from the Board page.**

As a result, they'll appear first in your dropdown menu when browsing for images.

 
 

![05_BOARDS - FAVORIS ETAPE 1+2.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/05_BOARDS_FAVORIS_ETAPE_1_2_94a3c9286a.png)

 
 

### COLLABORATION - Share your Boards with everyone, improve teamwork

**Finally, Boards were designed to enhance teamwork and get insights. Many collaborative features will be added in the future. For now, enjoy essential functions like sharing as viewer or editor, and make your Boards public to reach a wider audience.**

![06_BOARDS - COLLABORATION .png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/06_BOARDS_COLLABORATION_0f40777b4a.png)

**Sharing as viewer or editor:** This feature is currently available only to those who already have a paid subscription. 

**Make Public:** Everyone, including those without a Flim.ai account, can consult a public Board.

 
 
 

**We hope our new Boards system transforms the way you work, whether you're solo or collaborating with your team, and allows you to create stunning curations that capture the essence of your creative vision.**

Stay connected for more exciting updates as we continue to expand our features, and now experience the power of Boards for yourself!

## How Does It Work?

**Drag and drop images from the grid to the dock, adjust the slider, and choose the number of images you want to create. Then, witness the magic of Image Mixer.  Your generated images will be stored on the 'My Generations' page.**

![HOW DOES IT WORK_.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/HOW_DOES_IT_WORK_91802e9d8f.png)

 
 

## GUIDELINES

**AI offers endless possibilities, sometimes mind-blowing, sometimes bewildering. Additionally, Image Mixer is currently in beta, meaning there may be occasional results that are approximate or unexpected. But rest assured - we are actively working to refine and improve its performance!**

**That's why, to ensure that your creative intentions lead to results that are as relevant and consistent as possible, here are a few tips to optimize your use of Image Mixer. It's not exhaustive, it's not set in stone. It's just some advice from the Flim Team.**

 

### Landscape & Settings

The blending of settings works wonders with Image Mixer, whether it's interiors, exteriors, or a combination of both. The AI superimposes the two images seamlessly, giving rise sometimes to dreamlike images, sometimes to highly realistic ones, depending on the iconography selected.
 
 
 

![landcape & settings.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/landcape_and_settings_c9f49e705e.png)

 
 

### Background & Patterns

A simple way of integrating elements into a composition is by juxtaposing an image containing figurative or narrative elements with another that leans towards minimalism or lacks narrative, such as a landscape or a pattern.
 
 
 

![background & patterns 2.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/background_and_patterns_2_b0fda7191d.png)
 
 

### Grain & Texture

Beyond mere imagery, Image Mixer generates images imbued with the distinct aesthetic of the originals. This means that Image Mixer also considers the grain of the images / the graphic style. You can thus give your result a specific image grain by merging images from the same era or combining a recent image with an older one to achieve a vintage look. You can also have fun mixing animation with live-action, for instance.
 
 
 
![grain & texture.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/grain_and_texture_873f5eedc2.png)

 
 

### AI Touch & Stylized Creation

Image Mixer also introduces an element of randomness, or 'magic', creating unique atmospheres and vibes, with less emphasis on composition and more on the mood. This aspect is particularly useful for generating out-of-the-ordinary images. It's both a matter of luck and often the result of merging two images with surreal, mystical iconographies. Give it a try!

### Play with the Slider

Adjust the Slider to determine the importance of images in your results.

_That is why we certify that:_

_- Generative AI at Flim is not intended to replace human creativity. We clearly distinguish between images generated by Flim's AI and original content. That is why images produced by Flim's AI’s tools will be systematically distinguished by a watermark._

_- To prevent any misuse of these AI tools, our users will be required to adhere to a strict code of conduct. Specifically, we will not allow the generation of images containing child nudity, recognizable or existing individuals, and images that could be perceived as deep fakes._

_- Finally, images generated by AI on Flim are not royalty-free and cannot be used for commercial purposes. We also commit that if copyright holders do not consent to the use of their images for generative AI purposes, we will immediately prevent generation with their content._

##Some Cool, Interesting Things You Can Do With Our Magic Tools 

###Improve You Workflow and Unlock Infinite Possibilities Combining Style Transfer with Image Mixer

Transform, remix, and re-envision — **Flim.ai’s tools are designed to seamlessly work together**, giving you infinite ways to iterate and refine your ideas. Images generated with [**Image Mixer**](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/29) can be reimagined with **Style Transfer**, and vice versa.

**FROM IMAGE MIXER TO STYLE TRANSFER**

For example, use [**Image Mixer 2.0**](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/29) to add an iconographic element to a shot, then use **Style Transfer** to adjust the lighting, the weather, or add some special context to the original image.

 

<center>![2_01_Combine Style Transfer with Flim.ai's Image Mixer for infinite creative possibilities..png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/2_01_Combine_Style_Transfer_with_Flim_ai_s_Image_Mixer_for_infinite_creative_possibilities_99ada21ff3.png)</center>

 

**FROM STYLE TRANSFER TO IMAGE MIXER**

This synergy doesn’t just open new creative horizons; it also helps solve challenges. For instance, if a **Style Transfer** result appears low-quality, lacks sharpness or feels a bit off, simply blend the image with itself using [**Image Mixer 2.0**](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/29). This will enhance the overall definition and impact of the visual, giving you a cleaner, more polished result.

###Harmonize Your Vision to Build The Perfect Mood Board

Harmonize your visuals with consistent tones, settings, seasons, and more. No more frustration with finding a near-perfect image — **Style Transfer** helps you ensure a **visual continuity** across your images selection, **matching your storytelling and pitch constraints**.

###Give animated images a live-action, realistic touch

**Style Transfer** lets anime lovers reimagine animated scenes with **a live-action, realistic touch**, keeping core narrative elements. The results are unpredictable—sometimes stunning, other times surreal—making it an exciting tool for **creative experimentation**.

 <center>![2_03_Give animated images a live-action, realistic touch (1).png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/2_03_Give_animated_images_a_live_action_realistic_touch_1_061b1c8435.png)</center>

##Limitations

**Style Transfer** is a powerful tool, but as with all AI, surprises are part of the experience. To ensure you achieve the **best outcomes**, here are a few limitations to keep in mind and stay in control.

###Highly intricate visuals

AI may simplify or omit certain elements, particularly in images with a high density of detail, where fine patterns, textures, or small objects might not translate accurately. 

 
 
<center>![3_01_Limitations_Highly intricate visuals.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/3_01_Limitations_Highly_intricate_visuals_c09b77c347.png)</center>
 
 

###Unexpected Backgrounds

AI may sometimes take creative liberties, particularly with too uniform backgrounds.

 
 
<center>![3_02_Limitations_Unexpected Backgrounds.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/3_02_Limitations_Unexpected_Backgrounds_6c4edd2a2c.png)</center>

 

###Altered Perspective

Perspectives may appear exaggerated and inconsistencies may arise, giving an unintended sense of disjointed, surrealistic spatial logic. 

 
 
<center>![3_03_Limitations_Altered Perspectives.png](https://flim-strapi.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/3_03_Limitations_Altered_Perspectives_d06eacac78.png)</center>

 

Our vision with Flim.ai is to offer an **all-in-one platform where creatives can find and design their own inspirations**. It’s about offering a place for **fast ideation and concepts visualization**. Today, you can [**mix**](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/29) and modify images — tomorrow, we’ll take generative AI even further. However, as we expand our Magic Tools, we remain committed to making AI an assistant, not a substitute, for human ingenuity. Learn more about our stance in our [Manifesto](https://flim.ai/blog/new-features/23).

We can't wait to see where **Style Transfer** takes your projects. Cheers to the stories waiting to be told.

Magic Tool — Style Transfer

The Shining, 1980

We have recently developed an important feature in our search engine: find similar images. This feature is made to help you find a similar atmosphere to the one you are working on. This new tool is very useful to create moodboards and get inspired and can be used endlessly in our database. First, select an image, you'll find at the bottom of it similar images and a Find similar button, you can click on it and then just follow the flow of our algorithm that will guide you through similar images with the same colors, esthetics and structure.
Depending on how you start your search, our AI interpretation can be literal or more conceptual. For example, if you search for "quiet motel in a parking lot at night," start with this still from Battle of the Sexes and discover several images with horizontal composition, floating time, static atmosphere, and iconographic elements like cars, streetlights, or smooth asphalt.

<Slider id="1"/>

If you start with a more abstract still image, our AI will take into account shapes, colors and the general mood. Try this still from [Suspiria](https://beta.flim.ai/movie/CshpfE5Z3QBSKZZS3IHo): this time our search engine is less interested in the iconographic element (the ceiling and its stained glass) than in disturbing perspective, geometric shapes and bright colors like a kaleidoscope.

<Slider id="2"/>

Your turn: explore our database and dive into the infinity of Flim.
