Animation First 2025 - Professional Panel: Creating Animation with AI

AI’s transformative power is available to artists more widely than ever before. How are animators and filmmakers integrating AI into their creative processes, from conceptualization and scriptwriting to production and final creation? What role can AI play in enhancing animation projects? What are the potential benefits and drawbacks of using AI in animation? Artists Boris Labbé (La Chute) and Dimitri Vallein (New Specimen), along with producers Lesly Lynch (Space Cowboys Studio) and Ron Dyens (Sacrebleu Productions) discuss their current projects integrating AI, the tools they use, AI’s capacity to push creativity to new realms, and trends they foresee in their fields.

This panel hosted at Alliance New York is organized by French In Motion and co-curated by Delphine Selles-Alvarez, Chloé Dheu, Stephanie Valloatto and Laetitia Doyle.
