How is that not directing when literally a decent amount of effort was placed into ensuring the output meets desired criteria? It's not like they were using prompts of a couple sentences and rolling with the first result; they were highly detailed and the results expectation-gated.

Directors talk to actors. There is no actor here. At best, this is the equivalent of sending multiple 3000 word emails to a casting agency and letting them figure out what to tell their actors.

I think you need to go look up what film directors do. Getting “the shot” is just one aspect of their lives. You can not tell me directing 1,000s of people to unite behind a common scene is the same as prompting a LTX2.3 workflow. It just isn’t. That’s more like being a cinematographer than a director.

I’m not taking anything away from those that use AI to make videos but to call yourselves directors… rofl.
