How AI is affecting video production

The way that Artificial Intelligent (AI) machines are thinking and learning is starting to change and shape the future of technology.

AI is being used in a variety of industries to help speed up processes, and also helping to make films better in a variety of ways – and is even proving to be cost effective in some areas.

How video production is evolving

Film and video are always changing and AI is just another way technology is playing a larger role in the production stages.

Technology such as 3D printing is revolutionising film in production design, while virtual reality brings worlds to life and drones are opening up new opportunities for camera angles.

Plus, it’s now possible for automated video editing tools thanks to AI.

In Hollywood, AI is playing a huge role – especially in film reviews. Did you know that IBM created a movie trailer with AI ?

Technology that’s changing video

Looking to the future, AI will most likely play an even bigger role in everything film-related and we’re looking forward to seeing the new opportunities that it brings, alongside powerful technology.

There’s a bunch of new technology that is changing video production – particularly drones. We love drones as they allow for a variety of shots. They can follow a subject while hovering and keep it all in perfect focus. Some of what they do humans simply cannot. Obtaining a bird’s eye view shot is much simpler with drones, and this is making high-quality film more accessible.

Additionally, 360 video technology is becoming more popular this year too – as we predicted . It can make content more engaging and interactive as the viewer feels actually involved with what’s happening.

Fast turnaround videos. What we do and what our clients do to make it work. Our Managing Director, Emily Blanden, shares what we’ve learned from creating fast-turnaround videos for our clients - without the panic stations. From getting the brief nailed down early to keeping feedback clear and speedy, Emily talks through the little things that make a big difference when deadlines are tight.  My team might not thank me for writing this. We’ve just completed two motion graphics projects on extremely tight turnarounds. A three minute video briefed in and delivered within six working days. A five minute video done in four. Sharing how we did this might result in us getting even more last minute briefs, sorry in advance to my team! Short lead time work is stressful. We’d always love more time. But over the years we’ve developed a process that makes it possible to create quality work, fast and I think it’s worth sharing, because a lot of it comes down to what both sides of the relationship do along the way.

When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.
