• ONE NAME : TWO ROLES •
Edit9 was born for 3 reasons: story, structure and style. When everyone can create incredible looking shots with AI, the most important thing will always be a beautiful story, told well. Whether it’s 60 minutes, or 60 seconds, these 3 elements mean everything. So, for just over a year now, I have been exploring the depths of my imagination with AI generation. And below is some of the concept work I have produced

• WORKFLOW •
CONCEPT
Whether this comes from an object, a song, a poem, a slogan, or just people-watching outside the supermarket, concept development is without doubt the biggest and most important stage of the process. We often find that the more momentum a concept builds, the more ideas it attracts and the more layers it develops.
PLATES
Forget about the visuals, this is all about the sound. If the shots of a film are the story, then the audio is the emotion; a guide on meaning. So we build a storyboard of wish list shots cut to the soundtrack of our dreams and see if the two get along.
STILLS
At Edit9 we like AI to lend a hand but we don’t want it steering the ship. Generating the stills and developing the prompts to fine-tune the visual start-frames gives us far more control over style and consistency then just prompting directly into the motion generators. This also allows everyone to get the images out of their heads and on to the screen and make sure it’s roughly the same as what was in everyone else’s heads.
ANIMATE
By far the most exciting but also the most unpredictable stage of the process. Like trying to walk home drunk; not every thing moves the way you want it to, but there’s often unexpected beauty in that. Like all things, AI (currently) has limitations and it’s good to know what they are, but it’s also better to test them and see what happens.
EDITING

GFX
We have the story, now it’s time to tell it right. We’re going to make a series of scenes into a great film. Anything that needs fixing, adding, or removing we do now by using a suite of powerful graphics and post-productions applications in order to achieve what we set out to do: story, structure and style.
FOLEY
&
GRADE
The most transformative stage of the whole film: when you hear it speak for the first time and it comes to life. Then grade it to bring it all together and send it out into the world to see what it can do.
DELIVER
Your film has been delivered, but as devoted as you were to your creation, we can guarantee that you will have had other ideas behind it’s back. Your next story is already building momentum because that’s why we’re all here: to tell our stories. So let’s go again.
Edit9 has the ability to take all of its content from concept to completion within a single suite which not only slashes traditional production timeframes, but it also hugely cuts costs for the creator and the client.
Ideas can be born and built in the same day, it's a wonderful time to be a creator, so what do you want to make?
