Azeez Danial & Liyana Hanif: The Proposal, The Creative Scene, and A.I.

In this episode I got to sit with two powerhouses from the creative industry; Azeez Danial & Liyana Hanif who also happen to be engaged and soon (like, real soon) to be married. I took the chance to get to know them better by asking how they came together and talk about the proposal video that went viral. After that we got down to a serious, but still light-hearted conversation about the state of the creative and film industry and how the progression of technology, mainly Artificial Intelligence could affect designers and filmmakers in the near future. 00:00:00 - DAN and LIYANA, welcome to IZZY DOES IT!00:05:45 - Let’s get to know them both and how they met00:08:10 - Dan did not enjoy working with Liyana the first time00:12:17 - Liyana tried flirting with Dan00:15:22 - The age gap made Liyana second guess00:19:05 - They reunited at an art exhibition00:26:09 - When the topic about marriage was brought up00:29:01 - The proposal video that went viral00:31:33 - Nature was against Dan when he wanted to seek blessings00:35:33 - Dan’s masterplan to propose to Liyana00:44:30 - Let’s talk about the state of the creative scene00:49:44 - Why it’s difficult for designers to succeed00:56:28 - Existing opportunities in the creative industry01:01:47 - Dan is hopeful about the film industry because of the students01:04:42 - The reason why some cinemas don’t support local films01:10:12 - How technological advancements affect the creative industry01:16:11 - Work with AI, not against it01:23:27 - AI will not replace you, someone with AI will01:31:56 - How mainstream media utilises AI01:40:22 - Making their first AI video together Join us every Wednesday night at 8:30pm on YouTube, Spotify, and Google Podcasts!
