FILMMAKER PANEL

FREE TO THE PUBLIC

So, Dave, do you feel secure at your desk when cutting an independent film, or do you worry about your editing job getting figuratively sucked out of the airlock by a renegade Artificial Intelligence? Award winning film industry expert and AVID Executive Sarah Priestnall is here to talk about modern AI and how it affects media post-production.

So, before you decide to make your computer sing “Daisy Bell” while you slowly unplug it, be sure to first hear Sarah’s insight. She, along with other panelists, will showcase impressive new AI tech, including those which are part of the groundbreaking work being done by Avid’s RADLab.

As these bits of programming grow in the creative marketplace, the strategies on how to utilize them evolves. All platforms and software will be part of the discussion. Adobe. Apple. Midjourney. ChatGPT. AVID. etc.

What exactly can be done these days? What should be done?

This panel will explore AI as a transformative device. From coming up with ideas for movies to helping with production, it’ll delve into how AI can potentially help and inspire.

Or, perhaps you’re just too worried that AI will send us all to Hades in a hand basket and want some reassurance that it’s all going to be okay?

Here’s a bit of advice from a famous robot:

“I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.”

( editors note: …and attend this panel! )

“This conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Good-bye.”
