When I was approached to re-envision Next Stop Paris, I saw the opportunity to harness innovative AI technology to serve storytelling, and found that incredibly empowering as an artist. But as an Actor's director, it was also imperative that we preserve the human element. While you are looking at AI-generated characters — their hair, their bodies, their clothes, and the world—- they are grounded in the real, raw performances of talented actors that we filmed. Without that, the tech is just, well, tech. What makes NSP unprecedented is, we achieve actual scene work; camera coverage, character consistency, precision dolly and Steadicam moves all motivated by character. Every shot storyboarded and designed. In other words, we figured out a way around the current limitations of AI to do what we do best as filmmakers. I am thrilled to have been at the helm of our extraordinary team, and am excited to explore what’s next.
