Anatomy of the AI Creative Process: The “MYStudio" Vision: From Ideation & Concept to Final Frame

Every great piece of AI-driven project begins with a spark, and ends with a final frame that nobody could have predicted at the start. But what happens in between? In this session, Jiajian Min and Anna Borou Yu from MYStudio will open up its creative process through a close look at how an AI-mediated project is developed from initial concept to final experience. Drawing from MYStudio’s practice across AI filmmaking, interactive installation, multimedia performance, immersive experience, this session pulls back the curtain on the complete AI production process for a forensic breakdown of how it got made. Every decision. Every tool. Every moment where the AI surprised them, failed them or took the work somewhere entirely unexpected. This is not a panel about AI production in theory. This is one specific journey from ideation to final frame told by the people who lived it.

Speakers:

Jiajian Min, cofounder, MYStudio,  Award-Winning AI +XR Artist, co-Chair, MIT Global AI Film Hack

Anna Borou Yu, cofounder, MYStudio,  Guest Lecturer, MIT Media Lab and Harvard University
