AI tools can definitely have their place in the creative process. It can speed up production,mtake on tedious tasks, and spit out hundreds of variations quickly.
But I love that @Apple continues to go analog, hiring real teams, using physical production methods, and capturing effects in-camera.
A prompt-based execution may be fast, may be cheap, but it doesn't contain the same magical feeling as something produced with real human-powered creativity.
Go behind the scenes of Made by Sound.
A story of music, collaboration and craft with @fredagainagain1 and NEST Acoustics. Discover how sound brought the Apple Music logo to life, captured entirely in camera. Just music, made visible.
Best take I've heard in a while. Please avoid zombie UIs at all cost. AI can be a great tool and help speed up many aspects of the creative process. But it's not an end-all solution. Creative decisions still need to be appropriate, if nothing else, which takes more care and consideration than a simple prompt.
