Neupane is the director/co-founder of Jazz Productions (a creative production company) and Qi Studios (a 3D animation and VFX studio). Also a filmmaker, he is best known for his short film, ‘Bob’.
While many people hold an opposing view towards AI, that it is going to replace our jobs. I think it's quite different for the type of industry I work in. With the extreme amount of new AI tools, platforms and models releasing day by day, it is essential that as creative professionals, we learn to adapt our work around it. When that kind of adaptability is applied in our daily workspace, that is when our work also evolves alongside the growing technology. Overall, my approach to working with AI is to maximise my output while minimising the tedious tasks and time.
But while we are excited about utilising AI tools, there still remains a gap in accessing them. The limit of dollar payments from Nepal is a hindrance to fully using AI to its potential, as premium versions would work better in large-scale usage.
Content improvisation
As a lot of fiction and storytelling are central in my work, sometimes there are elements that go without notice. After writing my final structure, I use ChatGpt and Claude as the script doctors. No, they do not write the script but detect the tiny details that I miss. They also provide a new shape to my structuring and content. That way, I can ensure the quality of work remains intact.
Referencing
At times, when I have to produce a pitch deck for a new idea or just tell the framework behind a commercial video or project, I use Nano Banana Pro and ChatGpt images for generating such references. It makes it easier for me to communicate with clients and show exactly what we are trying to achieve.
Mainly these video generation platforms, which can be used to create B-rolls (an additional video to provide visual context), have proved to be convenient in my work process. But one thing about them is that when real-world references are given, they work even better, keeping that natural touch to the content.
Additionally, these platforms can also be used to turn animated raw renders into their final version.
AI in music
To produce various kinds of sounds and effects in the background, Suno, an AI music generator, works really well. Whether it be a jingle or customised audio, I find Suno to be effective with music.
Editing
For editing and fine-tuning photos, I use the built-in AI tool of Adobe Photoshop software. This feature makes editing a much less time-consuming process while achieving the kind of results I want.
