Vietnamese director makes 3-hour sci-fi film using AI

The film is produced entirely using artificial intelligence (AI), with a duration of up to 3 hours, conveying to the public a message calling for human awareness against the destruction of the wild natural environment, as well as warning about the unpredictable consequences of disregarding ethics to research physical and biological warfare weapons.

The film “Curse under the Moonlight” is the result of a combination of cinema, technology and humanistic philosophy. The film was produced in 3 days, under the coordination of Solentic Group, a pioneer in the orientation and development of synthetic technology art and AI research organization, founded by director Pham Vinh Khuong. The film revolves around a genetically mutated wolf, possessing almost human intelligence and emotions. When discovered by military and scientific forces, it becomes the target of a genetic modification campaign to create biological weapons.

The message of the film “Shadow of the Wolf” is to call for awareness of the destruction of the wild natural environment, as well as the price to pay for the deviations in viewpoints and ethics in research on physical and biological warfare weapons.

The film is not only a cinematic work, but also a profound warning about how humans are gradually losing their ethical boundaries in exploiting technology - bringing unpredictable dangers if mistakes or unexpected variables occur.

The movie “Curse under the Moonlight” was created entirely using a proprietary AI system, called AS (Art Supper/AestheticSynth) - a tool developed by director Pham Vinh Khuong and Solentic Group.

This is a specialized AI synthesis platform for film academics, not only supporting rendering, but also helping users self-study and simulate the director's personal style, from lighting, composition, film color to editing rhythm. This platform helps users automatically combine multiple filmmaking styles at the same time, creating unique and unprecedented aesthetic effects; completely eliminating the need for physical film editing, allowing processing of a 3-hour timeline in just a few minutes while still being seamless and visually logical. The platform also helps users create background music, sound effects and customize audio entirely with prompts; integrates personal film digitalization tools, including an academic library, a proprietary shooting/editing technique identifier, and the ability to recognize visual emotions by scene...

According to director Pham Vinh Khuong, the entire production process was produced entirely using iPhones, without a studio or large team, demonstrating the efficiency, economy and creativity of the high-tech cinema model.

Director Pham Vinh Khuong said that the film “Curse under the Moonlight” is produced in the graphic style of the 3D role-playing game genre - a specialized, completely new creative language, and will be released completely free of charge in 2D format (1080p), along with the soundtrack MV (OST) on digital platforms.

The 3D version (up to 8K quality) will be released in theaters with hyper-realistic hologram technology, screened in limited numbers for special guests, including professors and doctors in the digital technology industry; at the same time, the AS technology will be announced and the direction to expand the ecosystem to support young filmmakers around the world...

In the context of AI reshaping creative fields, director Pham Vinh Khuong, a pioneer in the smartphone filmmaking movement, believes that young people should not see AI as a savior, but rather as a tool and humans are the masters. Therefore, young people need to focus on studying, accumulating practical knowledge, and using AI as a powerful tool to carry out artistic projects in the best and least expensive way.
