[00:00:00] Speaker 1: My take when it comes to filmmaking and storytelling in general is that technology is an incredibly powerful tool when it comes to assisting and helping the storyteller communicate their story. And I think the better the tools are, the more easy it is for the storyteller to communicate their narrative. I started making videos way back in the day when the hardest part of communication of making that video was the actual process itself. And now the process has been so streamlined with, you know, TikTok of the world and having a really high quality 4K video camera on your phone, all of those encumbrance are out of the way. And my bet is that as technology continues to make it easier for people to create shit, especially when it comes to AI, where it's just simply a prompt, I think the value is going to be really put on the individual and stuff that feels inherently human. The more I see AI proliferate, the more I want to pull back from it and have my videos feel even more raw and more human and more real, because I think there's going to be a thirst for that.

Summary

The speaker argues that technology has increasingly removed barriers to filmmaking, making it easier to communicate stories—from earlier, process-heavy video production to today’s streamlined creation via smartphones and platforms like TikTok. As AI further reduces friction (even to simple prompting), they believe the audience will place more value on uniquely human, raw, authentic storytelling. Consequently, the speaker feels inclined to use less AI and make videos that feel more real and personal to meet an expected growing thirst for authenticity.
