[Commlist] Call for Chapters – Generative AI for Video Production and Storytelling

CALL FOR CHAPTERS

Generative AI for Video Production and Storytelling

Editor: Vincenzo De Masi, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, China

Publisher: IGI Global Scientific Publishing

Expected publication: 2027

Proposal submission deadline: November 22, 2026

About the Volume

Generative artificial intelligence is transforming audiovisual 
production and storytelling. Text-to-video and image-to-video systems, 
multimodal models, synthetic voices, AI-assisted editing, automated 
previsualization, and virtual production technologies are introducing 
new possibilities for the creation, modification, and circulation of 
moving images.

These developments are reshaping established relationships between 
screenwriting, visualization, cinematography, editing, performance, and 
post-production. They also raise important questions about authorship, 
creative control, professional expertise, aesthetic consistency, 
intellectual property, labor, and the authenticity of audiovisual 
representations.

Generative AI for Video Production and Storytelling seeks to examine 
these transformations through theoretical research, empirical studies, 
critical analysis, production-oriented investigations, and case studies 
of emerging creative practices.

The volume will explore how generative technologies are integrated into 
professional and independent audiovisual workflows, how they influence 
narrative practices, and how their adoption varies across industries, 
cultural contexts, and regulatory environments.

Communication and Media Studies scholars are particularly encouraged to 
contribute, alongside researchers and practitioners working in Film and 
Screen Studies, Television Studies, Animation, Digital Media, Visual 
Culture, Creative Industries, Artificial Intelligence, and related 
interdisciplinary fields.

Contributions combining technological analysis with critical 
perspectives on media production, storytelling, authorship, and cultural 
practices are especially welcome.
