I've been spending a lot of time experimenting with AI filmmaking tools lately, and I've noticed something that feels a bit odd.
Most AI video tools seem to be built around generating clips:
- Text → Video
- Image → Video
- Start Frame → End Frame
But when I think about how films are actually made, the process usually starts with:
Screenplay → Characters → Locations → Storyboard → Shots → Film
It feels like there's a gap between how filmmakers think about projects and how AI video tools are currently designed.
For example, while working on my ai video, I don't really think in terms of generating isolated clips. I'm thinking about scenes, character continuity, locations, visual references, storyboards, and how everything fits together.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it sometimes feels like AI tools are optimizing for clip generation while filmmakers are optimizing for story development and visual planning.
Do others here feel the same way?
How are you currently bridging the gap between screenplay and AI-generated video?
