Director Gareth Edwards at @aionthelot
- AI is good for iteration and discovery
- AI is like giving people an electric guitar: anyone can strum, but only a few will make a hit song
- Tough to beat algorithm now to get your content seen
'If I was in this era I'd be f'd!'

'I view it as having a second unit director who is a billionaire on acid.' - May be batshit crazy

AI Film Studios show their work @aionthelot
Most use AI for ads, and short films, vertical videos, micro dramas
Gen AI used for backgrounds, VFX (fire, flood, explosions), action sequences, realistic / talking animals etc, would otherwise be $$$$
