Description
AI is the most controversial topic in filmmaking right now. I talk about it with the directors' duo of Julien Vallée and Eve Duhamel, artists who are now exploring the medium in the best possible way -- as an extension of their own art.
In this episode, we talk about:
how they got started in filmmaking and their exceptional career, which has included jobs for top corporate clients including Apple;
their thoughts on AI filmmaking;
the reaction to critics, who in many cases they said haven't even used an AI tool;
should AI films be segregated into their own category?
the very thin line between CGI and AI;
what's next for these innovative filmmakers and how to modernize theaters (which I absolutely love)
what Montreal, Canada is like for filmmakers;
the innovations these ultra-talented artists have coming our way.
