The AI film making is going to be a whole new industry, there is hardly any doubt about this and one very creative studio, a home for AI filmmakers, online AI filmmaking course host and a group of professional educators, Curious Refuge has just proven the point. The filmmakers has just released the world’s first ever AI documentary and it doesn’t look a tiny bit creepy. The consistency in style, color correction, the narrative, sound, all plays together really well. The story of their choice is yet another good move of the creators. Bull’s eye. Do you know the story of Milli Vanilli? This is a short AI doc explaining the bizarre (but true) story behind one of the greatest scandals in pop music history. Grab a tiny popcorn cup and enjoy the doc.

Cats Eears are in space! We found them. On the other side of the Internet we have found a proof. It is incredibly well designed, very convincing and designed by using only prompts and AnimateDiff. Just imagine a whole comic book like this. That would be remarkable achievement, if not a milestone for the comic industry. Ladies and gentlemen, a story of Cat Ears exploring space by 鳥篭
