• Abstract: The integration of Generative AI (GenAI) into audio-visual production is often presented as a radical break from past traditions. However, through a sociomaterial and historical lens, this paper argues that GenAI represents a new development in the long-standing negotiation between creative labor and technological possibilities. Moving beyond the limiting framework of human-machine co-creativity, we adopt an STS-based approach to investigate creativity in the making within the Filmmaking industry. We analyze Filmmaking as a distributed process where agency is shared across diverse human experts and non-human actors, showing how technological innovations have historically reconfigured Filmmaking practices long before the advent of AI. The article introduces an analytical taxonomy of GenAI techniques to illustrate how these technologies do not merely "assist" but can actively reconfigure professional roles, production temporalities, and film aesthetics. By linking sociomaterial configurations to aesthetic outcomes, this reframing suggests that AI technologies in Filmmaking should be seen as mediators that could enable new aesthetic possibilities by blurring the boundaries of traditional filmmaking workflows.

  We propose a classification of the creative system with a hierarchy of 5 classes, showing the pathway of creativity evolving from a mimic-human artist to a Machine artist in its own right. In art creation, it is necessary for machines to understand humans' mental states, including desires, appreciation, and emotions, humans also need to understand machines' creative capabilities and limitations. We propose a novel framework for building future Machine artists, which comes with the philosophy that a human-compatible AI system should be based on the "human-in-the-loop" principle.
