The Convergence of AI and VFX: Speed, Control, and the Future of Creative Workflows

AI image generators can produce high-quality visuals in seconds, accelerating ideation, iteration, and concept art workflows. However, VFX tools have always prioritised control and precision—frame-by-frame refinements, detailed PBR texturing, physics-accurate lighting, and fine adjustments to motion and composition. The future of VFX will see these two strengths converge, blending AI’s rapid iteration with the modular flexibility and precision of professional post-production tools.

What should I do if I can’t get a job immediately after I finish my course?

“Create your own project work whilst you look for work in the industry”. I worked on various projects in my professional journey but the ones I enjoyed the most were the personal ones as I had a full creative control on them and presented me with the most challenge as well. This is the same as if you are a freelance painter, or sculptor of designer creating artwork for exhibitions. Film making these days means it is not difficult to produce work on your own and if you try you can learn from your own experience what it takes to produce a film.
