AI Filmmaking: Navigating Creativity in the Generative Era
LocalhostHQ x Latent Aurum
Session 274
From Script to Screen
Generative AI is fundamentally rewriting the rules of video production. By lowering the barriers to entry, these tools are empowering a new wave of global creators and dismantling traditional industry gatekeeping. However, this rapid transformation also brings complex economic, ethical, and creative questions to the forefront of the media landscape.
This workshop offers a practical look at the future of production. Attendees will be guided through a detailed AI video workflow demonstration, moving from ideation and scripting to final video and audio generation. Following the demonstration, the session will open up for an interactive audience discussion to weigh the profound opportunities of AI enablement against its emerging ethical and industry tensions.
