How smart AI tools are changing the way animation is made
"AI is changing that. Over the next five years, we'll see a shift from massive studios to small, focused teams capable of delivering high-quality results faster, cheaper, and with greater creative control. This evolution isn't just about cutting costs; it's about redesigning the entire pipeline to make better decisions sooner, iterate faster, and invest more deeply in the work that audiences actually notice."
"Previously, teams would bid on each task, render it overnight, and review it daily. However, AI now enables creators to block, test, and restyle within hours, allowing them to try multiple looks before selecting one to scale. Previs and look development can happen together. Quick composition allows teams to validate creative choices early, so that only shots that pass editorial are executed, not only saving time but also resources."
AI is transforming VFX by replacing slow, linear pipelines with fluid, iterative workflows that enable small, focused teams to deliver high-quality results faster and cheaper. Previs and look development can occur in parallel, letting creators block, test, and restyle within hours and validate choices through quick composition so only editorially approved shots proceed. Automating first passes—rotoscoping, cleanup, and plate preparation—creates AI drafts that let artists concentrate on edge cases and creative polish. AI also codifies consistency, preserving or enhancing quality while reducing resource needs. The shift reduces overhead, accelerates iteration, and increases creative control over final outputs.
