The Uncomfortable Truth about AI and Motion Design | Motion Mondays Special Edition
Joey looks at the current state of AI in relation to motion design, and shares his predictions.
Welcome to a special State of the Union edition of Motion Mondays where we dive deep into the reality of AI in motion design. We're exploring the incredible breakthroughs like Google's Veo 3 video model that's creating nearly photorealistic footage, checking out tools like Hailuo and Moonvalley's Marey that are giving creators more control than ever before, and revealing the industry's dirty little secret: almost everyone is using AI, they're just not talking about it.
From mind-blowing examples like the "Untold: The Immortal Blades Saga" AI-generated trailer to studios like I-reel, Joyrider, and Laundry openly showcasing their AI-enhanced work, we're seeing what happens when these tools meet real creative talent. Plus Joey is sharing his predictions for where this is all heading, including Mark Cuban's fascinating "Milli Vanilli effect" theory.
Whether you're AI-curious or AI-skeptical, this episode breaks down what's really happening in our industry right now and why ignoring these tools might not be the best strategy.
