The Generated Awards Aftermath!

We just wrapped the first Generated Awards in New York, and you all showed up in force. Hundreds of people came to the gala, and we screened work that reflects where generative video is right now: fast-moving, technically sharp, and getting closer to real production standards. The goal was not to praise the tools. It was to spotlight the people behind the work, the choices they made, the taste, the editing, the pacing, and the problem-solving that still takes a human.

We’re going to do more of these, and we’re also planning a series of conferences focused on AI video creation and production, with an emphasis on process, craft, and what holds up under real deadlines. Please watch this newsletter for updates!

Remember we also have a Meetup that will feature speakers and workshops this year so please sign up for that as well! Until we meet again, check out these seven amazing winners.
