How To Productionise Technology That Doesn’t Always Work: AI in Post/VFX.
The economics of film and TV are under pressure—wastage, razor-thin profit margins, and inefficiencies squeeze the entire industry. AI is a powerful emerging technology that promises an answer to these problems, but it’s not yet fully reliable.
In an industry where productions can’t stop, workflows must be designed to withstand the failure of individual tools - so how do we build systems that keep moving even when AI doesn’t work as expected?
