AI extends human performances, not replaces them: Jon Erwin on filmmaking with Seedance 2.5

In BytePlus's Next Frame series, director Jon Erwin explains how he brings AI into filmmaking, from script development to on-set VFX for Young Washington.
Commentator LudovicCreator highlights the key distinction: with Seedance 2.5, the actor's performance remains the creative foundation — expression, movement, timing and emotion stay human — while AI carries that performance into shots and environments that would otherwise demand heavy production, complex VFX or risky physical setups.
For directors this means a much larger creative playground: testing more ideas, exploring scene variants and pushing environments further without every new direction requiring another physical shoot.
