The Colorless Man (AI-Assisted Short Film)
I’m happy to share my new AI-assisted short film, “The Colorless Man.” This film took 2 weeks to complete during my free time, with a budget of $600 USD. I used various AI tools to explore how far AI-assisted film production has come.
Based on estimates from other producers and filmmakers, a film like this would typically cost between $300K and $500K without AI, depending on the scale of production. It would also require around 70 people and at least 2 months of work. Thanks to AI, this was reduced to just 1 person, $600 USD, and 2 weeks of non-continuous work.
First, I wrote the story and screenplay, then I used various AI tools to turn my script into visuals. I used ChatGPT, MidJourney, and Dreamina for images; Kling AI for videos; ElevenLabs for voices; Dreamina AI for lip sync; Suno AI for music; and MMAudio or ElevenLabs for sound effects.
Thank you for watching!

Not a fan of AI stuff, but I have to admit that the story is very decent and the style and execution of it is outstanding.
The AI-ness of the movements are very prevalent
AI films will take time to be there, but if you read the description, it only took him $600 to make it.
I do wonder about the future of acting. I suppose real actors will transition to stage theatet, and the era of blockbuster acting is likely over
