Could AI replace human directors? Oscar-winning VFX legend Anthony LaMolinara – part of the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival's animation jury – sat down with CGTN to unpack AI's role in storytelling. Spoiler: It's complicated.
While calling AI a "new frontier," LaMolinara emphasized that generating images is just the start. "True filmmaking needs control over movement, camera angles, and emotional beats – that's where AI struggles," he explained. Think of it like giving ChatGPT a paintbrush but no sense of composition 🖼️➡️🎥.
The VFX pioneer revealed his team is developing a new creative language beyond text prompts to better guide AI tools. "We're building bridges between human intuition and machine learning," he said – a potential game-changer for digital narratives.
As debates about AI's creative limits rage, LaMolinara's insights remind us: Technology evolves fast, but human vision still directs the show 🌟.
