Effects of AI in the film industry.
1. Actors/Models: The people depicted in the ad are AI-generated, meaning no human actors were hired, resulting in lost opportunities for:
• Adult actors (parents)
• Child actors (kids at the table)
2. Photographer: No photographer was hired to shoot the family scene, losing a job that would typically involve:
• Location scouting
• Lighting setup
• Equipment rental
• Post-production editing
3. Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists: If the scene had been shot with real people, each actor/model would require hair and makeup services.
4. Wardrobe Stylists: AI eliminates the need for selecting, purchasing, or renting clothing that suits the desired look and feel of the family in the advertisement.
5. Set Designers/Art Directors: Traditionally, a set would be created or rented to depict a family dining setting. This includes:
• Props (bread, fruit, utensils, tablecloths)
• Furniture rental
• Background decor (window, curtains, wall art)
6. Food Stylists: The bread, fruits, and other food items would typically be sourced, arranged, and styled to look appetizing, requiring skilled food stylists.
7. Prop Suppliers: Bread, fruits, utensils, and other items would need to be purchased or rented.
8. Gaffers and Lighting Technicians: Proper lighting setup is crucial for photography and videography to achieve the desired mood and ambiance.
9. Location Scouts: Someone would need to find the ideal location to shoot the scene or organize a studio setup.
10. Logistics and Transport Personnel:
• Delivery drivers to bring in the props and equipment.
• Assistants to transport actors/models to the location.
11. Catering Services: If a real shoot were conducted, the crew would typically be provided with meals or refreshments.
12. Editors and Retouchers: Post-production editing to enhance the image, adjust colors, and ensure a polished final product.
13. Graphic Designers: To layout and finalize the advertisement with branding, slogans, and hashtags.
14. Advertising Agency Staff: The overall creative direction, including conceptualizing the scene, scripting, and coordinating the shoot, would involve:
• Creative directors
• Copywriters
• Account managers
• Project managers
15. Printing and Production Teams: If the ad were to be printed on the truck using real photography, a production team would handle printing and application.
16. Fruit and Bread Suppliers: If real food were used, local vendors or suppliers would provide the produce and bread.
17. Casting Directors: To source and audition suitable actors/models for the shoot.
18. Talent Agencies: They would typically receive a commission for providing actors and models for the advertisement.
19. Legal and Licensing Teams: Contracts and image rights would need to be managed for all actors/models and photographers involved.
20. Insurance Providers: A physical shoot would require insurance coverage for crew, equipment, and actors/models.
By using AI to generate the entire image, all these roles can be bypassed, dramatically reducing production costs but also eliminating numerous job opportunities
