Little Things - Filmcraft + AI
Filmcraft + AI is my approach to combining practical filmmaking with emerging AI tools. Beginning with real miniature sets, motion-control photography and carefully planned cinematography, I use AI to extend what was captured on set—enhancing performances, visual effects and motion while preserving the tactile qualities of the original production. This NSW Government campaign demonstrates how strong source material and traditional film craft can unlock more believable, controllable and creative AI-assisted outcomes.
