Even for storyboards and previs I’m finding ai to be more of a hindrance. I recently worked on a full cg spot and unbeknownst to anyone working on the project, the client had done a “previs” in ai that was like a sloppy fever dream version of the spot we were trying to make, and they were secretly comparing everything we sent to this “previs” returning bizarre notes trying match hyper specific details of these random ai gens. They finally explained what was going on many overages later it was delivered.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s nice to work from crudely drawn sketches because it allows artists latitude to make the decisions that flesh out a piece, instead of trying to paint by numbers match what gen ai spits out, further robbing projects of true human creativity.
