Two quick bits of AI generative video news.
I recently released the feature length horror movie H.P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow Over Innsmouth – the micro-budget horror film has gone down with a storm on YouTube, with 10,000 views in month or less, and lots of enthusiastic comments and fans appearing online to sing the praises of a film which was made with a budget of less than a £1,000 and shot mostly over a handful of days.
The film was made in conjunction with my production company Warehouse Transmedia, and one of the elements of post-production was the use of generative ai video – which was a fast and cheap way to add production value but also assist the best telling of the story (without the need to use expensive CGI).
Launch of new AI FILM STUDIO – GENERATIVE AI VIDEO PRODUCTION COMPANY
The use of generative AI video for the film, has convinced myself and some partners that Ai video, can be used to tell stories in a cost effective and efficient manner. This has led to myself and Warehouse Transmedia launching our own AI film and video studio – All our work going forward will harness new generative AI technology to make films, series and video content.
We intend to push the limits of new AI video technology as a storytelling tool.
Keep an eye on the Warehouse Transmedia blog for more info – we do have a slate of feature film projects and series projects that will begin production in 2025.
