Read the article (new tab)ADIC · original interviewOh describes AI dialogue arriving too quickly, without the hesitation before a person speaks. For ZERO, he prompted small actions such as blinking, exhaling and swallowing to create pauses. Familiar real actors served as character references, supporting consistency and continued collaboration.
- Direct the beat before a line, as well as the line itself.
- Oh credits storytelling experience; this is his view, not a universal judging rule.
