Description: A fictional short story about the origin of Merlin and King Arthur. This was an experiment, using Ai tools to generated the visuals, then edited, sound design crafted, colour grading all done in post. I was fortunate enough to be given access to Artist and really see for myself what the tools can do in the hands of a filmmaker. Am I going to change to Ai completely? No.

About the film

A fictional short story about the origin of Merlin and King Arthur. This was an experiment, using Ai tools to generated the visuals, then edited, sound design crafted, colour grading all done in post. I was fortunate enough to be given access to Artist and really see for myself what the tools can do in the hands of a filmmaker. Am I going to change to Ai completely? No. I enjoy so much of the process and collaboration but I learnt a lot about the Ai tools, what they can and can’t do and I think education is the most important aspect.
