Artificial Intelligence as applied to audiovisual production<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tom Paton, a pioneer in the application of AI to audiovisual production, will discuss about this technology which, despite offering huge opportunities, is still largely mistrusted, and he will expose how AI tools (such as Pigeon Shrine\u2019s “synth-assisted production”) can in fact dramatically improve timings, costs and workflows, effectively putting independent films on par with major studio productions.<\/p>\n
