Release and use

Gen-1 applies text or image conditions to source footage, with demonstrations of stylisation, storyboarding, masks and rendering. The source supplies movement and structure, so the result should not be described as an automatically produced film without prior shooting or design.

Change in creative practice

Shooting, three-dimensional previsualisation and generated surfaces can be organised separately. Preserving source footage, masks and transformation intentions helps distinguish the contributions of performers, camera work and models.
