What it means for a brief: The runtime of a corporate AVP or a long-form brand story. If the question is whether AI video can hold attention for three minutes or more, this is the piece to judge.
What was AI, and what was human.
The shots are AI-generated. The script, the direction, the edit, the color and the sound are done by people. That split is the same on client films.
- 01
Brief and script
HumanStory, structure and runtime are written first. The script decides how many setups the film needs and where the hard shots are.
- 02
Photoreal boards
Human-directed, AI-assistedFraming, mood and look are approved as boards before any shot is produced, so the world is fixed before production starts.
- 03
Shot production
AI-generatedShots are generated against the approved boards, with character, wardrobe and world held consistent from cut to cut.
- 04
Finishing
HumanEdit, color and sound are human passes on every frame. This is the step that stops a sequence from reading as generated.
