AI-Assisted Cinema is a short, practical book about what actually changes when artificial intelligence enters a film production pipeline. It follows the work in the order the work happens: script development, previsualization, 2.5D animation, editing, VFX, sound, then the marketing that carries a finished project out into the world.
The argument is simple. AI does not replace the person making the film. What it changes is the loop around that person. Ideas get tested sooner, visual worlds take shape before large budgets are committed, and a small studio can show a collaborator what a project feels like while it is still cheap to be wrong.
It also spends real time on the uncomfortable parts. Credit and consent. What happens to taste when generation costs almost nothing. Why the filmmaker remains the author even when a machine sits inside the workflow.
I wrote it for filmmakers, producers, creative directors, and digital storytellers who keep hearing that everything is changing and want to know how, specifically, without the hype.
