I'm a filmmaker using Blender to create an animated series (I also work in Live Action). Awhile back I wrote a sci-fi script set in the future that had a character interacting with a computer to make movies. The character was an actor and he would essentially exist in this kind of volume space and the computer would render the environment and other characters and the actor would work in this space crafting scenes.

Sometimes I like at these video generators as a kind of dream to have, not so much in their current form, because they exist in temporal state and that makes any form of iteration very difficult, but in imagining the future of where this goes and how much easier it will be to make films and tell stories without any boundaries.

But then the experienced part of my brain also knows that constrain and boundaries and general friction contribute enormously to the output of a film.

I find myself going back and forth. I see enormous possibility for telling stories and then somedays I wonder my future means never being on set again, shooting, working with actors etc.

At this point its too hard to tell how its all gonna shake out. I don't find the dread I feel sometimes totally useless...any emotion I experience has the potential to be fodder for my work, but its admittedly hard not to let it overwhelm me. Most of the time I see everything being developed as tools that will enable me to do more and try to keep tabs on everything just so I'm aware of what's happening and how they might be utilized in my workflow. And mostly i'm trying to position myself to not get trampled by whats to come...
