# AI video production workflow creates editorial abundance through 20x generation ratio rather than traditional single-asset VFX crafting
|

House of David's production workflow generates '20 times' the number of AI shots compared to final VFX shots used in the show. 'Batches of AI content are given to editorial to sift through like traditional footage. Only shots that make the cut get upscaled to final quality.' This represents a fundamental inversion of traditional VFX workflow. Traditional VFX operates on asset scarcity: each shot is expensive to produce, so production plans specific shots and crafts them individually. The AI workflow operates on editorial abundance: generate 20x variations through prompt iteration, treat the output like raw footage, and select the best through editorial judgment. The cost structure shifts from 'expensive to generate, cheap to select' to 'cheap to generate, editorial selection becomes the bottleneck.' This has implications beyond per-shot cost: the workflow model itself changes. Instead of pre-planning specific VFX shots and executing them, the AI workflow enables exploratory generation where creative decisions move from pre-production planning to post-production selection. The 20x ratio suggests the current generation quality is high enough that 1-in-20 outputs meets professional standards, but not so high that first-attempt generation is reliable.
