SEQ 017500 K — Shade
I come from film. Not from the prompt.
Generative tools produce images. A film starts earlier — with the idea, the staging, the decision which image stays.

One workflow, not three trades
Film AI Post
Film
provides the language. Framing, light, movement, continuity — the vocabulary that makes an image mean something.
AI
expands what is possible. Images that cannot be shot, and shots that would otherwise fail on budget.
Post
turns it all into a film. Edit, grade, sound — this is where images become a story, or don’t.
The decision is made per shot, not per project. What needs to be shot gets shot. What can be rendered gets rendered. Both are held together by the same visual language and the same edit.
SEQ 035600 K — Daylight
Capabilities
Four disciplines, one pair of hands. No handovers, no friction.
AI Generative Direction
Cinematic direction within generative production. Directing here means choosing the one image out of many and discarding the rest.

Generative Postproduction
Extending and connecting shot footage generatively — so that no one finds the seam.

Film Editing
Rhythm, omission, sound. The place where footage becomes a film — including other people’s footage.

Sebastian Schmuck
Technology changes. My yardstick remains the image that ends up in the film.
I come from classic film production and from the editing room. Today I combine live-action production, generative image development and post-production in one cinematic process.
What interests me is not the tool but the decision before it: which shot, which cut, which tone. The rest is craft.

SEQ 053200 K — Tungsten
Five phases, no flying blind
Question
What should the viewer do afterwards — and what stops them today?
Treatment & Previz
The look comes as an image, not an adjective. Structure, tone, framework.
Production
Shoot, generate or both — decided shot by shot.
Edit & Grade
Rhythm, colour, sound. This is where footage becomes a film.
Master
One master, every version and format the project needs.
