Inspiration
This film draws inspiration from the idea that innovation is the act of opening the next door. At Lenovo’s Innovation Technology Conference, every breakthrough represents a threshold to a new world. The “door” becomes both a metaphor and a visual symbol — a portal that connects the known and the unknown. Our protagonist, Lenovo’s intelligent agent Tianxi, serves as the guide who dares to step forward, embracing uncertainty and leading us toward the future.
What it does
The film presents a world where mysterious glowing portals appear across iconic global cities. As panic, confusion, and awe spread, Tianxi steps forward and chooses to walk through one of the portals. Her choice triggers a chain of transformations — the doors turn from chaotic anomalies into symbols of human progress. The story ultimately celebrates the courage behind every technological leap.
How we built it
The main image generation software is Midjourney. For video generation, Runway, Higgsfield, MiniMax, and Vidu were used.The character used Stable Diffusion to train a LoRA in order to maintain consistency.The music is generated using Suno to create epic-style chants.
Challenges we ran into
Ensuring the portals looked both alien and technologically meaningful Achieving consistent character continuity for Tianxi across multiple AI-generated shots Maintaining cinematic quality while using fast-paced AI generation workflows Coordinating multi-location environments without losing visual coherence
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Built a cohesive sci-fi world using AI tools end-to-end Successfully shaped Tianxi into an expressive, emotionally resonant AI character Created high-impact global scenes with strong visual symbolism Delivered a narrative that aligns deeply with Lenovo’s innovation philosophy Demonstrated how AI empowers creators to produce cinematic storytelling at scale
What we learned
We learned that AI creation is not just automation — it is collaboration. The tools accelerate imagination, but the emotional core still needs human intention. We also learned how to iterate quickly, refine concepts visually, and combine AI and human craftsmanship into one seamless workflow.
What's next for Lenovo Tech World Ad: Door
We plan to push AI-driven filmmaking even further — exploring real-time generation, richer interactive narratives, and character-driven intelligent agents. Our next goal is to create worlds where AI characters like Tianxi can grow, interact, and co-create with audiences in real time.
