In this episode

Steve Sowrey has been making video for thirty years, from VHS tape-to-tape editing to waiting overnight for five-second 3D renders. Now AI lets him create in seconds what used to take months and cost millions. He walks through the move from traditional production to AI filmmaking: making his first AI short film "Sync" for a festival at two in the morning on ideas that arrived in dreams, and interviewing at HeyGen surrounded by a crew who were working out that they were all about to be replaced.
