For my master's thesis, I conducted a practice led research titled:
How can the animation industry sustainably incorporate Generative AI into the
pre-production pipeline?
This thesis explores the ethical concerns and creative unease surrounding the use of Generative AI in the animation industry, particularly in character design. With the rapid integration of AI tools in creative workflows, understanding their strengths and limitations is essential for future graduates to navigate the industry with confidence and creative freedom.
You can find my research here.
* This research or statement is not in support of AI but to understand it's potential as a creative graduate and explore how companies can integrate it (if/when) into their workflow sustainably without leading to creative jobloss or replacing the artist.
