It’s mainly fair replacing letters here and there. You can do this in ProTools yourself, but we had so much dialogue in Hungarian that we repartner necessitateed to speed up the process otherwise we’d still be in post.”
“It is contentious in the industry to talk about AI, but it shouldn’t be,” Jancsó said. “We should be having a very uncover converseion about what tools AI can provide us with. There’s noleang in the film using AI that hasn’t been done before. It fair produces the process a lot rapider. We participate AI to produce these minuscule little details that we didn’t have the money or the time to shoot.”
