Hashem Al-Ghaili has made a short ostensibly about human cloning that in my opinion is one of the best AI-generated films to date.
It dives into existential questions about originality, self, isolation, and what makes a person unique.
Dan Taylor-Watt, in his post AI-generated videos that make you feel something, says:
“This 15-minute film – a cautionary tale about human cloning – was created by Hashem Al-Ghaili, a Berlin-based producer, filmmaker and science communicator. It reportedly took him 600 prompts, 12 days and $500 to produce. I find it remarkable that one person can produce such a visually rich and engaging film in less than a fortnight, although 600 prompts hints at the level of effort and creative direction required. Although some of the more obviously AI-generated shots distract and the protagonist’s likeness wobbles off at times, the storytelling and tight editing kept me engaged throughout. The Suno-generated soundtrack is also a real toe-tapper.”
Kira Vale’s music from Suno is on Spotify.
My take: Kira is a high bar to match. Beyond the AI-generated video, the script, audio, music and editing are all top notch.
