At the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival, Oscar-winning VFX wizard Anthony LaMolinara shared why AI in filmmaking is more than just cool tech—it's a "new frontier" full of promise and pitfalls. 🎥✨
AI can whip up stunning images with a few text prompts, LaMolinara explains, but making a movie is all about direction—every camera move, every beat of emotion, every dynamic scene needs precise control. "You might get a pretty shot," he says, "but can you tell the AI how to block an actor or capture a dramatic close-up?" 🤔
To tackle this, LaMolinara and his team are dreaming up a whole new "language" beyond simple prompts—think of it as the Rosetta Stone for AI movie magic. This fresh approach could help directors guide AI through the intricate dance of movement, camera angles, and storytelling. 📚🔮
As AI tools evolve, the VFX pro warns that mastering control is key. It's not enough to generate cool visuals—you have to craft a scene with intention and emotion. "This frontier is thrilling," LaMolinara says, "but we need the right tools to steer it." 🚀
His full interview with Zhang Meng on CGTN dives deeper into how a VFX pioneer is shaping tomorrow's digital storytelling. 🎞️🌟
