Has AI changed your creative decision-making day-to-day?

Posted by Raj Patel in Cinematography 1 views ยท 1 replies

Hey crew, curious about something. I was recently on a commercial shoot with an ALEXA 35 and some SkyPanel X's, and the director was talking about how much pressure editors are under now, calling them 'artist-technologists.' As a focus puller, my day-to-day hasn't changed much beyond more demanding precise pulls for higher resolution cameras. I'm usually just tracking actors or a product on a slider, making sure the Canon Sumire Primes stay tack-sharp.

But it got me thinking. Five years ago, I mostly saw editors cutting footage we shot. Now, with AI tools popping up for things like generating B-roll quickly or cleaning up dialogue recorded on an MKH 8060 in a noisy location, how has that actually impacted your creative decision-making on a daily basis? Are you making different choices now than you did back then, knowing these tools exist? Specifically asking about your creative calls, not just efficiency gains.
