AIMICI supports $15M budget feature film with AI-powered pre-viz

We’re excited to share a recent collaboration with Perfect Pictures Post Production (P4), an innovative new VFX and post-production company.

To demonstrate the latest AI capabilities, AIMICI put together a 30-second teaser & tech demo in support of a upcoming feature film production that P4 is attached to. The $15M budget film production features A-list Hollywood talent and mythological creatures that would not usually be possible to incorporate into a teaser at such an early stage. This teaser is set to be shared at upcoming 2025 film festivals, helping to support the film funding efforts and also to demonstrate the latest AI capabilities to the industry.

The Project Scope

Working within independent film budget parameters, our team delivered high-quality AI-powered video assets, without using any filmed footage, that helped to showcase the attached talent and the production’s creative ambitions. The project demonstrated our strategic approach to AI implementation in screen media, specifically focusing on:

Strategic AI Tool Selection and Implementation

Our team carefully evaluated and selected appropriate AI tools to achieve the desired creative outcomes while maintaining production quality standards. This process ensured that every technological choice served the creative vision of the project.

Qualified AI Artist Integration

We coordinated with vetted AI artists who brought specialized expertise to the pre-visualization process, ensuring that the technical execution aligned with the production’s creative requirements.

Quality Assurance and Transparency

Throughout the project, we maintained rigid quality control measures and transparent documentation of AI tool usage, establishing clear protocols for the creative process.

Technical Achievement

The completed teaser demonstrates how independent productions can effectively leverage current AI capabilities to:

  • Access sophisticated VFX solutions through validated AI tools
  • Maximize available resources while maintaining creative integrity
  • Implement responsible AI practices within production workflows
  • Create compelling pre-visualization materials suitable for festival presentation

Industry Impact

This project represents a significant milestone in demonstrating how strategic AI implementation can support ambitious independent productions. It showcases the potential for AI technology to enhance creative capabilities while working within practical budget constraints.

Looking Forward

As the UK’s leading consultancy for AI in screen media, AIMICI remains committed to empowering filmmakers with responsible AI solutions. This project serves as a concrete example of how carefully considered AI implementation can support creative excellence in independent film production.

The completed teaser will be presented at select film festivals throughout 2025, contributing to broader industry discussions about practical AI applications in independent film production.
