Amana Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Takeaki Kaneko; hereinafter "Amana"), which realizes communication transformation through creativity, will hold an online seminar on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, on the theme of 'Professional Judgments and AI Utilization Points Behind Advertising Visual Production'.
To complete a single advertising visual, various specializations and judgments are accumulated. Depending on the progress, these significantly influence the completeness of the output.
In this webinar, based on actual case studies, we will introduce on-site judgments and ingenuities that are not easily visible from the finished visual alone. This includes shooting design by photographers, finishing techniques by retouchers, and team organization and progress design by producers. We will explain how the collaboration of each specialization enhances the quality of the visuals.
Furthermore, AI is also utilized in parts of the production process as a means to smoothly share ideas and images. We will also introduce how AI has been incorporated into the production process.
We will discuss how AI is not treated as the main actor but rather as a supplementary tool to advance production, from a real-world perspective of the creative現場.
