Runway AI, an AI research and tech company based in New York, has launched a new image creation model called Frames, which signifies "a significant advancement in stylistic precision and visual quality."
Focus on Stylistic Consistency
This model seems to focus on keeping a consistent style, meaning it can create similar images while adding or removing certain details. This is an area where many other image generation models have difficulty.
Runway claims that with Frames, users can select a style for their project "and consistently produce variations that align with your aesthetic."
Showcasing Stylistic Choices
Runway presented some examples showcasing stylistic consistency with Frames on an X thread. The styles, referred to as "Worlds," include a range from 1980s special effects, 1970s album cover art, Japanese zines, realistic digital images, landscapes, and much more.
The generated images appear striking at first sight and keep a uniform theme and vision. Runway mentioned that it will slowly provide access to Frames within the Gen-3 Alpha of its video creation suite and Runway API.
Applications in Media
Runway's video generation tools have been used in movies like Everything Everywhere All At Once, and in music videos for artists such as Kanye West. They've also found their way into popular TV shows like Top Gear.
