Take complete artistic control over AI-generated videos with four revolutionary techniques. We show you how NormalCrafter enables proper relighting, Any-to-Bokeh gives you cinematic depth control, Uni3C provides precise camera and human motion, and ATI lets you draw any trajectory and watch it come to life.

We walk through complete ComfyUI workflows with practical examples, showing exactly how to integrate these tools into your creative process.

🔥 What you will learn:
Extract temporally consistent normal maps from videos using NormalCrafter
Add cinematic depth-of-field effects with Any-to-Bokeh's multi-plane approach
Control camera with Uni3C's 3D scene understanding
Draw custom object trajectories with ATI's spline-based animation system

💡 Why this episode matters

Art direction has always been what separates professional work from amateur experiments. These four papers represent a crucial shift: from accepting what AI gives us to directing exactly what we want.

NormalCrafter solves a fundamental problem in AI video - the lack of proper 3D information for relighting. Any-to-Bokeh brings cinematographic lens control. Uni3C unifies camera and character animation in a single system. And ATI makes animation as simple as drawing a path.

Together, these tools give you the control needed for professional production to complement traditional VFX workflows.
