Al Clark vs A.I. Slop: Traditional Automotive Film Directing and the New-Age Artificial Intelligence
Al Clark is an automotive film director with nearly 20 years of work to his name. His clients have included Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Bugatti, and his work has also appeared in BBC productions such as Top Gear and even a Bollywood blockbuster. Most recently, Al has used his social media presence to critique the ever-increasing use of generative A.I. videos, which are now making waves in the automotive video industry, too. Al's humorous take on the often hilariously bad use of A.I. in car adverts has been watched and enjoyed by many hundreds of thousands of followers online. In the first episode of season 4, John Marcar joins Al in his home to talk through his career and discuss what the future might look like for automotive film creation. Follow Al and enjoy his videos via @AlClark on Instagram._______________________________________________This episode of The Driven Podcast is sponsored by Q-PARK Prebook your parking with a 20% Discount by entering the discount code DRIVEN20 at checkout via q-park.co.uk Offer applies for a limited time only._______________________________________________The Driven Podcast brings you motoring-focused discussions, observations from the automotive world, and interviews exploring our guests' careers, exploits, and anything else worth discussing.We will also keep you up to speed with the latest automotive news stories and insights into the cars and motorcycles we're reviewing at Driven.
