By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

He believes AI cannot capture the "infinite layers of the soul" and that imperfection, such as film grain and soft focus, is essential for artistic magic. Gray now regrets shooting his last film digitally, feeling that the immediacy of digital imagery lacks the melancholic beauty and irretrievability found in traditional film. AI
