Generative AI for Video Production and Storytelling
http://commlist.org/archive/all/2026-all/msg01447.html

Editor: Vincenzo De Masi, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, China
Publisher: IGI Global Scientific Publishing
Expected publication: 2027

Deadline for submission of proposals: November 22, 2026

ABOUT THE VOLUME

Generative artificial intelligence is transforming audiovisual production and storytelling. Text-to-video and image-to-video systems, multimodal models, synthetic voices, AI-assisted editing, automated previsualization, and virtual production technologies are introducing new possibilities for the creation, modification, and circulation of moving images.

These developments are reshaping established relationships between screenwriting, visualization, cinematography, editing, performance, and post-production. They also raise important questions about authorship, creative control, professional expertise, aesthetic consistency, intellectual property, labor, and the authenticity of audiovisual representations.

Generative AI for Video Production and Storytelling seeks to examine these transformations through theoretical research, empirical studies, critical analysis, production-oriented investigations, and case studies of emerging creative practices.

The volume will explore how generative technologies are integrated into professional and independent audiovisual workflows, how they influence narrative practices, and how their adoption varies across industries, cultural contexts, and regulatory environments.

Communication and Media Studies scholars are particularly encouraged to contribute, alongside researchers and practitioners working in Film and Screen Studies, Television Studies, Animation, Digital Media, Visual Culture, Creative Industries, Artificial Intelligence, and related interdisciplinary fields.

Contributions combining technological analysis with critical perspectives on media production, storytelling, authorship, and cultural practices are especially welcome.
