AI Creates Animated Film

OpenAI is supporting a groundbreaking project called 'Critterz', an animated film created largely with AI tools. The goal is to show that AI can produce high-quality movies faster and cheaper than traditional methods. This ambitious project aims to complete the film in just nine months, with a budget under $30 million.

The production uses a mix of AI and human skills. While AI tools like DALL-E and Sora generate images and videos, human writers create the script, and voice actors will bring characters to life. This approach showcases how AI and humans can work together in filmmaking.

If successful, 'Critterz' could change how movies are made in the future. It might open doors for more creators by making movie production faster and less expensive. However, this project comes at a time when there are legal battles between AI companies and movie studios over the use of copyrighted material to train AI models.
