The challenge

Turn a spectator’s longing for adventure into a complete character story for an international AI film competition.

The idea

The film moves its movie fan from watching adventures to having one. Its scarecrow protagonist gives the premise an immediately recognisable visual character. The public festival project includes the finished film and the generated character and scene assets used to develop its world.

Results

  • Festival cash prize: US$100,000.
