This story is no less than a film script. Liu Ziyu, 29, from China’s Yunnan province has proved that if the passion is true, the constraints of a technical degree cannot stop you. Liu, who once drove a train and then became a wedding photographer, has made Hollywood stalwarts his admirer with just a budget of Rs 42,000 and AI tools.
3.5 minute film and 10 days of magic
Liu’s short film ‘Zombie Scavenger’ was made in just 10 days. Inspired by the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Wall-E’, this film depicts the unique love story of a robot and a doll. As soon as the film was released on May 9, it became popular on social media. In this, the scene of the robot riding an ostrich has especially attracted people’s attention.
Liu’s ‘golden formula’ for getting work done with AI
Liu believes that AI is not just a machine, it needs to be ‘directed’ properly. He shares a simple formula for his work:
-
Activity: What is the character doing?
-
Motivation: Why is he doing this?
-
Mood: What are the character’s feelings at that time?
They don’t just give orders to the AI, but make it explain the entire logic of the story, making the output feel more natural and emotional.
Hollywood opened the door to success
The success of the film can be gauged from the fact that Hollywood’s famous AI film maker PJ Accetturo was stunned after seeing this work. He praised Liu profusely on social media and expressed his desire to offer him a job. This journey from a train driver to the doorstep of Hollywood is an example of Liu’s creativity and the right use of AI.
