Since 2025 a growing part of my work is made with generative AI. The craft is the one I have practised as a cinematographer for twenty years: casting, light, framing, continuity, edit and grade. Those decisions come before any image is generated, and they hold the film together from the first reference to the finished master. For clients that means one person responsible for the look of the whole film.
