Generative AI is no longer just about pushing a button and hoping for magic—it’s about artists guiding the machine with precision, purpose, and personal style. In this talk, we explore how a new wave of tools is putting creative control back where it belongs: in the hands of directors, artists, animators, and storytellers.
From camera moves to lighting setups, to animation timing and scene composition, today’s generative platforms are evolving to include intuitive interfaces, timeline editing, prompt refinement, node-based workflows, and real-time previewing. Artists can now steer the generative process like never before—iterating faster, directing AI outputs, and crafting visions that feel intentional rather than accidental.
