Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly in the field of visual effects, but there is a clear difference between what we see in demos and what is actually feasible in production. This talk is based on an original mini-sequence where AI tools and traditional techniques are combined to achieve a result that neither could achieve on its own.

Based on this case study, a technical breakdown focused on the process is presented: how these results are built within a real pipeline, what kind of control is possible today, how creative iteration is managed, and what the current limits of the technology are.

Beyond the “how,” the talk addresses the relationship between traditional VFX and these new tools: what changes, what remains the same, and how both approaches coexist in production. The goal is to offer a clear, practical, and hype-free view of AI’s current role in the industry and how it is redefining the artist’s role within the pipeline.
