The use of AI for cinematics in game trailers.

Feedback?

My new game is a 2D platformer inspired by old B-movies, and we’re currently preparing for a Kickstarter launch. Because of the theme,

I want to shoot some 70s-style cinematic scenes to use both in the game and in the trailer.

The problem is that we don’t have the budget for that yet.

So I’m considering using a bit of AI-generated cinematic footage in the trailer for now (not too much, just enough to convey the vibe).

that kind of cinematic could really help explain the game on the Kickstarter page.

If you saw a trailer like this, what would you think about the game? Would it bother you if some of the cinematic shots were AI-generated?
