AI generates reference images from shooting instructions, reducing search time and improving shoot preparation efficiency.
1. Issue: The burden of searching for reference images
The director and web designer write the shooting instructions on the work request form, and the shooting assistant checks the contents and prepares for the shoot. When it is difficult to convey the image with only text, the person requesting the shoot finds a reference image that is close to the desired image and attaches it.
The previous method was time-consuming and labor-intensive due to the need to search for suitable reference images and communicate work requests. Additionally, if a matching reference image was not available, the photography assistant had to rely solely on textual descriptions to understand the requester’s vision, leading to increased communication and potential misunderstandings.
2. Solution: Automatically generate reference images from shooting instructions
The Process Owner integrated a “Reference Image Auto-Generation” Step into the Workflow. This step utilizes the OpenAI (ChatGPT) API to automatically generate reference images based on the shooting instructions provided by the requester. By automating this process, requesters can receive visual references, enabling them to provide more specific and detailed shooting instructions when making requests.
As a result, the camera assistant can quickly and efficiently prepare for the shoot by checking the automatically generated reference images and, if necessary, by simply communicating with the requester.
AI image generation helps requesters quickly find reference images, speeding up work requests and improving efficiency.
