I’m glad that right now this model is being used as a visualizer for the film making process instead of filmmakers utilizing it for their final projects, right now it is being used as a tool and while I do think a human could be doing all these concept shots instead I suppose ai would make it easier for smaller teams to get the preliminary work done faster. However if a model is designing your shots for you then I do think it takes the artistry away from your film, while there are other parts of film directing I think the camera angles are a massive consideration that every director goes through and usually thinks about themselves(exploring different options with their team and collaborating on that front) the end of the article also worries me a bit with the editing line, while it may seem like editing is just a tedious process there are a lot of talented film editors out there and I’m worried this model would decrease their work prospects
