Creators · Creative AI · ~7 min read
The premise
AI can take temp music references and scene notes and draft spotting notes that the director and composer refine in the spotting session.
What AI does well here
- Link each cue to scene timecode and dramatic intent
- Translate temp music references into descriptive language (tempo, instrumentation, mood)
- Flag potential temp-love risk where the temp may bias the composer
What AI cannot do
- Compose the score
- Substitute for the spotting conversation
- Negotiate music rights
