AI Film's Unfillable Gap: Director Kim Sung-soo Says the Space Between Cuts Stays Human
lmoroney · x · 2026-10-14
Director Kim Sung-soo (Asura, 12.12: The Day) resumed production of his Kafka-inspired AI short 'Warm Train' at Busan's Asia Contents & Film Market forum. Kling 3.0 drew the giant insect well, but its collision with a packed subway looked fake; a Kling 4.0 preview in September finally gave the scene weight, and the film is 70% done. Kim staffed it like a real set — VFX supervisor, four artists, animation art director, live-action editor, music director — with daily reviews of performance, camera, lighting and movement. His conclusion: no matter how well AI generates images, the space between cuts, where scenes collide and tension emerges, remains a human task.
