Stephan Bugaj, Genvid Chief Creative Officer and winner of last year’s Emmy Award for Outstanding Innovation in Emerging Media, has commercially released , a sci-fi feature film created using Generative AI for all visuals and music, as well as all voices except for two.In the film, a deep-space Seeker who retrieves and sells artifacts of dead civilizations is visited by a mysterious Stranger.
“I made because I love philosophical sci-fi stories,” said Bugaj, “and Generative AI gave me a chance to make a movie, almost entirely by myself, on a budget I could afford without any outside financing, in that genre that otherwise almost never gets greenlit by studios.” “By lowering the cost and therefore risk of making credible looking films, the great opportunity AI provides for filmmakers is to take filmmaking power back into their own hands and tell stories beyond the over-broad blockbusters that become necessary when a huge budget needs to be recouped,” added Bugaj.He also noted that took less than 1/10th the number of iterations of most other AI short films and was produced for less than $2,000 worth of AI usage credits.will be available in the future through Amazon and Apple platforms, and is now available for purchase through Genvid’s direct channels.
Genvid, which released last year’s with Warner Bros.Discovery and 2023’s Emmy Winning with Sony Pictures Core, has also announced general availability of its new Studio-Grade AI platform, which was built in partnership with MASSIVE Studios to allow professional studios to create long-form content with AI video.“Similar to CG studios in the late 80s and early 90s,” said Genvid CEO Jacob Navok, “those who experiment and build with AI technology now are poised to take the creative lead like Pixar, with MASSIVE Studio’s Alex Patrascu resembling John Lasseter in his work with the burgeoning craft.”
