Leading filmmakers sought to lay to rest several misconceptions about AI during a Cannes March\u00e9 du Film panel titled \u201cFrom Creative Possibility to Production Reality: Kling AI in Cinematic Workflows\u201d. The main one is that AI is somehow a \u201cmagic button\u201d for making movies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wei Li recalls that when he started working in the industry, animation was a painstaking, labour-intensive craft. \u201cI was very happy and passionate when I was doing the drawings for days and days,\u201d he recalled. He used to have a student who helped him scan storyboards into digital files. This student stayed up \u201cfor the entire day and night. I felt very sorry for him. I was enjoying the session but he was just doing the repetitive work. Standing beside him, I felt I was watching a robot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The veteran Chinese animator reminisced about a working environment a decade ago in the era of…<\/p>\n
