The Day’s Note
When we return to the most fundamental question—what truly
distinguishes AI filmmaking from traditional cinema, and what makes it
unique?From a technical perspective, AI allows us to bypass the professional and complex processes of lighting, camera work, and set design. With just a piece of text, we can bring to life the beautiful moments that exist in our minds. In this sense, AI lowers the barrier to filmmaking—in a positive way.
It further blurs the boundaries between director, audience, and even the characters within the film. Today, anyone has the opportunity to present their aspirations to the world, because the pen is now in our hands.
Cinema has always been a medium through which people express their imagination. AI, rather than representing an aesthetic that “doesn’t make sense,” is better understood as a tool—one that helps people pursue meaningful, beautiful worlds.
AI Filmmaking is no longer a passive reproduction of reality, but an active act of generating reality.
It should be rooted in everyday life, transforming the ordinary into a dynamic canvas full of possibilities.
Here, creation and production occur simultaneously. We no longer imitate the world; instead, we restructure and recompose reality, refining new modes of emotional and visual expression through data, as well as personal and collective memory and imagination.
AI filmmaking should be the creator’s practice of personal aspiration — an opportunity to expand the boundaries of creation.
