I work with a lot of VFX Prep vendors around the world (Primarily Asia). Moving forward, I am going to prioritize those vendors who use AI to speed up their workflow. IMO integrating AI reduces costs and in many cases speeds up turnarounds. Vendors not using AI today or not actively looking to integrate AI in their pipeline are going to be left behind. With fantastic AI enabled tools like Slapshot (love it), Boris FX (Silhouette - very good), ComfyUI (learning curve - but very powerful) etc, there is no excuse. Start integrating and innovating! #AIinVFX
Surely the fastest, highest quality work wins regardless of techniques used?
Yes! You have to do this! Filmmaking is both business and art. One has to look to the tools that help to cut some costs so more money can be put toward the creative process. Using both old school and new school tools is the only way to stay current.
Absolutely agree! AI integration is no longer optional, it’s essential for staying competitive. At our studio, we are already integrating AI into our pipeline to optimize efficiency and turnaround times. We actively use AI powered tools across various stages of production to streamline workflows and maintain high-quality output. We handle Roto, Prep, Comp, Matchmove, and Rotomation projects, and AI has significantly helped us improve speed while maintaining precision and consistency. Always excited to innovate and collaborate with forward-thinking partners!
You Ai bros seem nervous about no one using Ai. Who’s going to watch the slop? 😆😆😆
I’ve tried them all, comphy using various models, silhouette ai machine learning, Da Vinci, AE magic brush and mocha, But none can match the fidelity of the worlds best sophisticated lens that can track, see in several spectrums and iterate with precise feedback, yes you guessed it, a kean motivated vendor and there awesome team!
Thank you for the kind words Jon!
Sure we are trying to build small studio in small town soon with AI enabled workflows we would love to collaborate with you

1moWho cares how they get their roto done as long as it’s fit for purpose and fits the budget ? Would you apply that same logic to every vfx operation . I’ve personally not seen any AI that didn’t represent an unreliable time sink hazard and I especially don’t think roto is a oarticukarly good candidate for gen AI techniques . The only reason that’s even a thing is because of marketing people with no clue about roto or vfx targeting it as being low hanging fruit. Roto needs to be precise , gen AI is anything but . I’ve got much better things to do than wonder how the roto gets created as long as its fit for purpose. Why make that an issue ? Most vfx vendors would probably politely ignore that mandate from a vfx supe albeit with a few slightly bemused looks around the table .
