Indian Film Venture Launches Tokyo Studio To Explore AI Filmmaking
Internet Cinematic is a new film studio connected to India and Japan.
It opened a studio in Tokyo on August 2.
The studio is studying how artificial intelligence can help people make movies.
AI could assist with pictures, animation, editing and other production work.
The company says people should still make the important creative decisions.
Its goal is to help more filmmakers create ambitious films.
The Tokyo event brought together nearly 300 film professionals.
The team had already held two AI film festivals in India that received more than 1,800 submissions.
Internet Cinematic launched a Tokyo studio on August 2 to study AI-assisted filmmaking.
The studio is exploring artificial-intelligence workflows for visual design, animation, editing and post-production.
Its approach keeps filmmakers and artists involved in creative decision-making rather than replacing filmmaking entirely with AI.
Nearly 300 filmmakers and film professionals attended the Tokyo launch, which featured participants from India and Japan.
The team’s earlier Indian AI film festivals received more than 1,800 submissions from around the world.
