ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE www.postmagazine.com 27 POST MAR/APR 2026 THE INVISIBLE EVERYWHERE CREATED ENTIRELY WITH A.I. TOOLS DALLAS — The Invisible Everywhere: Believing Is Seeing is a new independent feature that demonstrates how emerging AI tools can be used to explore enduring spiritual questions. The 80-minute documentary was created by film- maker Dr. Michael Guillén's using consumer-grade artificial intelligence tools on a standard desktop computer. Guillén is a former Harvard physics instructor and Emmy Award-winning ABC News Science Editor. The Invisible Everywhere looks at his own surpris- ing journey from atheism to Christianity, as well as his conclusion that modern science points beyond materialism. To produce the feature, Guillén purchased a gaming desktop from Best Buy, which would serve as his main workhorse. The Ibuypower Y40 cost rough- ly $2,000 and is outfitted with Intel Core i7 14700KF processors, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, DDR5 RAM and 2TB NVMe. The workstation is paired with an Acer SH322Q Hbih 31.5-inch full HD display and Logitech Z207 2.0 Bluetooth speakers. "I began working on the movie at the start of March 2025," recalls Guillén. "At that time, there were not many AI video generators on the market. Runway was the main one. As I recall, it generated a :05 clip at a time and the results were not great. I had to prompt it many times before getting something close to what I envisioned." He was inspired when Runway introduced Act One and Act Two, which allowed him to generate still photos as well as emote. "The lip synch and facial expressions weren't great at first, but they were magical," he recalls. "Then I became aware of Hailuo and Kling. And after that, the number of AI video generators on the market started exploding. I could hardly keep up with all of them and their constant updates." He's since transitioned from Runway and Sora to Gemini, Flow and Whisk. "I use Midjourney a lot as well," he adds. "I like being able to generate a still image to my liking before committing to animating it. Lately, for generating still images, I've been using Nano Banana more and more. Its results are stunning." Guillén used Eleven Labs to generate audio, mostly to simulate voices and to clone his own voice for the narration. Artlist was used for its royalty-free music and sound effects, and he called on Topaz Labs' Starlight and Starlight Mini to enhance video elements. As for editing, he relied on several AI-enabled video editors, starting with Wondershare Filmora, along with Adobe Premiere Pro and CyberLink's Power Director 365 suite. "All in all, it was a grueling but ultra-satisfying effort," he shares. "Grueling because I had to construct an 80-minute movie by editing together video clips that typically were no more than :10 long apiece. That's a huge amount of work! I worked 12-hour days, seven days a week, for the better part of a year." The Invisible Everywhere premieres worldwide on April 8th exclusively at www.theinvisibleeverywhere.com. EDITSHARE USING ANALYTICAL A.I. TO MANAGE CONTENT LIBRARIES BOSTON — EditShare (editshare.com), which specializes in collaborative media workflow solutions, is demonstrating its latest advancements in AI-powered media operations at the 2026 NAB Show. The company is highlighting how post facilities and production teams can manage growing content volumes without increasing operational complexity. EditShare's approach centers on analytical AI — technology that analyzes me- dia to identify and structure information, such as speech, faces, text and scenes. Unlike generative AI systems that create new content, analytical AI focuses on understanding existing media, automatically enriching files with metadata that makes video searchable and easier to find. Integrated across the EditShare plat- form and accelerated by high-bandwidth shared storage, these capabilities allow teams to quickly find the clips they need across their media libraries. "At NAB 2026, we're showing how analytical AI has moved from an interesting tool to a foundational part of the EditShare platform," says Brad Turner, CEO of EditShare. "The real opportunity is the ability to analyze video at scale and make that intelligence usable across the entire workflow. Whether media lives on-premise with our Flow asset manager or in the cloud with MediaSilo, teams can instantly search their libraries and find the moments they need."
