Professional Summary

I am an AI Film Director and VFX Lead, RISD alumni (BA, Film / Animation / Video — 1994–1998, First-ever 3D CGI animated degree project at RISD), with 30 years of professional experience creating cinematic visuals for film, television, and commercial campaigns. I work hands-on across the full post pipeline — Previz/Postviz, 3D + 2D CGI, Compositing, Editing, and AI-Generated Imagery — from concept through final delivery.

AI Filmmaking — 2023 to Present

Embraced generative AI since 2023 for video and stills production, including hybrid VFX integration. I use AI in preproduction for concept design, style exploration, and pitch decks. Professional commercial AI video directing experience for leading brands.

Ian M Wilmoth — What I Do

WHAT I DO

I.

AI Video Direction

End-to-end creative direction of AI-generated video — from prompt and reference through final edit, color, and composite. I speak both the creative and the technical.

II.

3D & VFX Integration

Seamlessly combining AI video with traditional 3D CGI and live action. Lighting, animation, CFX, modeling, and compositing — all under one roof.

III.

Workflow Consulting

I design and implement AI video production pipelines for studios and brands. If your team is figuring out how to work with AI video seriously, I can get you there faster.

IV.

Concept to Delivery

Starting from a brief, a reference board, or existing design frames — I take projects all the way through to final deliverable, managing every technical decision along the way.

V.

Color & Finishing

Professional color grading and finishing for AI and hybrid productions. Decades of experience knowing what a finished frame should look like.

VI.

Technical Direction

Acting as technical consultant on productions that need someone who can bridge the gap between creative vision and AI toolchain — without losing either.
