A deadline becomes a pilot
AIST’s ARTIFICIAL opens with a job interview that becomes a same-day music-video assignment. The studio uses a problem it knows well to give its generated office mockumentary a simple test of character under pressure.
Staging action
Danioros reduced the amount of detail in the Storm-Born Part 2 previs after rough elements appeared in the generated shots. The reference still carried the camera plan. For CHUMBO, the production team used overhead staging and specific hand directions to make a fight over a bottle legible. Magnific also reports that more than half the working hours were spent after generation, and that the characters’ nonverbal sounds were performed by human actors.
