Inspiration
The science fiction I grew up with, like Flash Gordon, Star Trek, or Star Wars, and the stop-motion and puppet films of Jim Henson.
What it does
Is a AI pilot for a Science Fiction Space Opera series
How we built it
Regarding the creative process, the guidelines have followed the traditional steps for a project of this kind — idea, synopsis, script, storyboard, and so on. As for the production itself, I have tested practically all the AI tools available for generating images, video, and sound.
Challenges we ran into
AI content generation works based on probability, so achieving the desired shots and maintaining coherence has been quite a challenge. There is also some compositional work done through traditional post-production.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
To create a piece with a soul of its own that pays tribute to the handcrafted artistry of stop motion, while embracing the new techniques that AI puts at our service.
What we learned
We’ve learned a great many things throughout the entire process, and I would highlight that, as of today, AI tools in the audiovisual field are still not ready to replace the entire creative process — but rather to enhance it.
What's next for SPACE DIPLOMAT
If it attracts enough interest, we would like to produce a series with short episodes.
