Direction survives revision.
Give a specific note, get that change, and keep the performance, camera and design already approved. This is the standard a film production needs, and the one we are testing against.

Feature film R&D test.
Directed Generative Production · 2026
A methodology test for a feature film in development. Shot in Northern Ireland in September 2026, now in the final stages of post.
What it is
Not a demo reel. A test of whether the method holds up under a film’s scrutiny.
A feature in development needed to know whether generated imagery could work alongside real photography at the standard its filmmakers expect. We designed a focused test to answer that: a small number of shots, each chosen to put a different part of the method under pressure.
We broke the sequence down, blocked cameras and animation in 3D, planned the capture, supervised the shoot, and are now directing the generative finishing, integration and grade through to delivery.
The production itself is confidential, so the stills below are from the stage rather than the frame. We will share finished shots and results when they are cleared for release.
On set
Prep to shoot day.
Recce, rigging, rehearsal and shoot, August and September 2026.
What we’re proving
Four questions. Answered in the work.
Performance stays real.
Photographed actors, lit and directed on a stage with a full crew, integrated into generated environments with restrained relighting rather than regenerated.
Production information steers the image.
Scene layouts, camera blocking and motion capture give the generative work structure, so environments hold their shape and shots hold their continuity.
The real cost is measured.
Preparation, capture, generation, correction and finishing, counted honestly, so the economics are based on evidence rather than on the price of model access.
Where it stands
Shot. Now finishing.
The shoot is complete and post is in its final stages. The test will be judged the way any film work is judged: by the filmmakers, on the finished frames.
