Image Generation

AI filmmaking tools can speed up pre-production, but they work best when used with intent. Here's when AI reference images actually help.


Overview

Image generation is best used to:


  • Visualize coverage before production.

  • Align your team on framing.

  • Present concepts to producers or crew.

  • Build confidence in creative decisions.


When Not to Overuse It

  • Early rough-pass shotlisting.

  • When a shotlist is enough. Let's be honest, most projects don't need reference images for every single shot.


Use it strategically, after your coverage logic is solid.
