“AI simulates thinking, but it doesn’t think.” Aa an Art Director and former Vehicle Lead on Asphalt 8 & 9, Damiano De Cataldo, MBA (prev. Vehicle Lead @ Gameloft) shares his perspective on the real role of AI in game production. From leading AAA racing titles to restructuring art teams and testing 3D AI tools in production, Damiano explores: 🛠️ The difference between cool outputs and actually usable assets 🎨 Why pipelines, not creativity, are often the real bottleneck 🎖️ How good leadership matters more than ever in the AI era Are we using AI to execute our vision — or letting it define it for us? 🎧 New episode: https://lnkd.in/g3jAgsHT

Transforming an electric SUV into a mechanical robot using AI. Focused on realistic panel movements, structured mechanics, and cinematic timing instead of simple morph effects. AI is quickly becoming a powerful storytelling tool for motion designers. Excited to keep experimenting. 🚀 #AI #MotionDesign #VisualStorytelling #CreativeTech #Veo3

The challenge with the AI arguments about making everything possible visibly is that great visuals don’t make great productions. Limitations are the birthplace of creativity and innovation (Star War OG vs Lucas’ prequels). Great scripts shine in the shadows of limitations (Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel - good movie single location). AI should be just like VFX advancements; we should all be returning to the written page.

AI video is moving fast and everyone has an opinion on which model is best, but almost no one has tested them under controlled conditions. We wanted to find out for ourselves. So we did. Same prompt. Same reference frame. Four models: Runway, Google Veo, Seedance, and Grok, all generating a cinematic human walk sequence, which is the most demanding benchmark we know. Human motion is where photorealism either holds or breaks, and there's no hiding it. The results gave us a clear picture of where each tool actually excels and where the gaps are still real. If you're evaluating AI video tools for production work in 2026, this is the kind of signal worth paying attention to. #AIvideo #AIexperiment #generativeAI #Seedance

I didn’t shoot this car commercial. AI did. And honestly… that changes everything. I wanted to explore one question: What happens when AI becomes the creative director? So I created CHANGAN AI DRIVE — a cinematic automotive concept built using AI tools, motion thinking, and storytelling direction. No camera crew. No physical production. Just imagination + AI. What surprised me most wasn’t the visuals… It was how fast ideas turned into reality. We’re entering a new era where creatives don’t just design. We direct intelligence. Curious to know: Do you think AI will replace production… or redefine creativity? #AIDesign #CreativeDirection #AutomotiveDesign #MotionDesign #AIContentCreation

AI has significantly increased production speed, but... AI-only pipelines still have many problems with consistency and flexibility regarding adjustments. Relying solely on AI or being an AI hater aren't good paths for artists and studios nowadays. Implementing AI tools into the classic 3D pipeline is the smartest decision. Therefore, you can still change anything your client wants, but do it faster with modern AI tools. Here are my favs in the carousel! Are you still using AI only for generating memes, or can you no longer imagine your workflow without image and video generation tools? #AI3D #ProductiveThinking #CG #3D #ProductVisualization

30 layers. One final composite. Even with the rise of AI tools, shots like this still rely heavily on human judgment, creativity, and attention to detail. AI can assist workflows, but compositing still needs an artist’s eye — balancing light, color, and realism across multiple layers to make everything feel natural. As artists, we should keep evolving — learning new tools, adapting to AI, and updating ourselves just like technology evolves. Because in the end, great visuals come from the combination of technology and human creativity. #VFX #Compositing #Nuke #VisualEffects #AIinVFX #PostProduction

A fascinating benchmark for AI video may not be technical — but cultural. What happens when creators use generative tools to “rewrite” iconic endings? A new concept trailer set 25 years after Game of Thrones imagines Jon Snow’s final chapter. Produced by @deepframelabs using Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0, the project highlights how rapidly AI video quality is approaching cinematic standards. Beyond fan fiction, this signals a shift in storytelling: AI is moving from experimental clips to emotionally driven, franchise-level narratives. The question is no longer whether AI can generate video — but whether it can reshape how stories continue. What’s your take on AI reimagining cultural classics? #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #AIVideo #MediaInnovation #FutureOfEntertainment

It’s wonderful to see the people quietly working behind the scenes on bettering vfx tools and incorporating the power of Ai in meaningful artist-focused ways. Ai will be a great addition to our current workflows once the control is fully in the hands of the filmmaker and artist and not vice versa.
