Naman Ramachandran In a spirited panel discussion at Mip London, leading production executives shared insights on how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming content creation while highlighting opportunities for independent producers to gain competitive advantages over traditional studios.

Jason Mitchell, founder of The Connected Set, demonstrated Storyboarder.ai, a $50-per-month animation tool that converts scripts into storyboards through generative AI. “What it’s going to do here is basically turn your script into a storyboard that you could then give to your human animator, although their product roadmap is to eventually do the animation in the product itself,” Mitchell explained.

Eline Van Der Velden, CEO of Particle6, revealed her company is taking AI implementation even further. “We’re starting to generate short films completely using AI… everything from synthetic humans.

We’re talking drama series completely in AI,” she said, adding that production costs are being reduced by up to 90% compared to traditional methods.
