The film only took a few days to produce, thanks to AI image generator Midjourney, which created all the visuals, and ChatGPT, which wrote the script. Ward then edited the resulting clips on his laptop into the final product.
"I was curious to see how AI tools could be applied in a filmmaking context, so I decided to combine various AI tools to create a single video," says Ward, noting that the idea was inspired by the success of the Harry Potter by Balenciaga videos, an AI-generated series of Harry Potter clips that went viral in April.
"In a way, AI was the director, I only played a supporting role," he says of the process, stressing that "the core idea, script, shot list, scenes, animations, description and tags" of the trailer were all conceived using AI tools. "Instead of hiring a voice actor, I used an AI voiceover generator for the VO artist. Whenever I needed a script, I simply asked ChatGPT to write one."
