Hollywood director uses Seedance 2.5 to previsualize films and get AI VFX 30 seconds after cameras stop
minchoi · x · 2026-11-14
Director Jon Erwin ("Young Washington") is integrating AI VFX directly into live-action production, arguing AI will create more filmmaking jobs, not fewer.
Key points of his workflow:
- Previsualization: He uses Seedance 2.5 to visualize scripts before shooting, letting directors see scenes and refine creative decisions — calling it "bringing Pixar's process to live-action filmmaking."
- VFX during filming: Instead of VFX starting after wrap, his AI team delivers footage about 30 seconds after cameras stop rolling, moving effects work onto the set in real time.
