Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly, offering a glimpse into a future where video creation could be more automated than ever before.
AI is already being used in editing, camera movements, and even scene generation. In the coming years, it’s possible that a filmmaker could input incredibly detailed instructions—such as:
“With an Alexa camera and a Sony 50mm lens, shoot a Ferrari speeding along the National Route 44 in the U.S., losing control, spinning multiple times, and crashing, with a medium light at sunset, facing south, alternating between front and rear shots, and capturing a diagonal angle during the crash”—and the AI would deliver exactly what was imagined, without the need for physical filming.
Can you imagine telling a tool these kinds of instructions, and having it generate the video you envisioned? This is something we believe isn’t too far off, and it makes us reflect deeply on the potential impact of AI on the audiovisual industry.
However, when it comes to certain genres of filmmaking, such as interviews, documentaries, and stop-motion animation, there will always be a need for human creativity and intuition. In interviews, the interaction between the interviewer and subject is what makes the conversation come alive.
It’s the subtle body language, the pauses, and the moments of real human connection that can’t be replicated by AI. These are the aspects that provide authenticity to the story being told.
Similarly, in documentaries, the power lies in human insight. Documentarians rely on their ability to adjust to the unfolding story, capturing moments that are spontaneous, unplanned, and raw.
AI can’t yet replicate this kind of intuition and adaptability. Filmmakers often rely on their understanding of context, culture, and emotion—something that goes far beyond algorithms.
Stop-motion animation also requires an artistry that AI simply can’t match at the moment. The precision involved in handcrafting every frame of a stop-motion animation, combined with the creative decision-making behind each movement, remains a deeply human process.
Although AI might assist with the technical side, the essence of stop-motion animation is rooted in the artist’s meticulous work and vision.
