AI & Virtual Production: Shaping Character Arcs (Want vs. Need)?

Posted by Nina Kowalski in Story & Concept Development 0 views · 3 replies

Hey everyone, Nina here. I'm currently wrestling with a character arc for my latest psychological thriller script, and it's got me thinking about the bigger picture. With virtual production and increasingly sophisticated AI script analysis tools popping up, I'm genuinely curious: how do you all see these new technologies impacting how we conceive and build character arcs, specifically around the 'want vs. need' dynamic?

I've been experimenting with some basic AI tools to help identify character motivations, and while it's interesting for flagging inconsistencies, I'm wondering if something more advanced could actually help pre-visualize an arc's progression. Or, is there a real risk here of making our storytelling too formulaic, stripping away the nuanced, human element of character development? What are your thoughts on this, especially for experienced writers?
