Feature film direction
AI is a production language. Directing is still the work.
Richard works from story, performance and edit. The method can combine practical filmmaking, controlled capture, previs, VFX and generative production according to what the film needs.

From commercial direction to AI direction
The tools changed. The standard did not.
Story and point of view
Concept, script, tone, casting logic and visual authorship are set before the production method is selected.
Performance and physical truth
Live action, gray box, practical objects and controlled capture keep movement, light and behavior credible.
Previs and generative production
Shots can be tested early, refined in context and carried through a managed AI and VFX pipeline.
Edit, finish and delivery
The edit governs the process. Every image serves timing, meaning, continuity and the final audience experience.
