Love You: Indian movie joins the list of world’s first AI-generated films!
The technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been rapid in taking over spaces like the information sector, the art sector, and as a by-product, the movie making sector. On July 26, 2024 OTT platform Amazon Prime Video played host to the world’s first AI-generated animated feature film, and the first AI anime feature film titled DreadClub: Vampire’s Verdict.
That same year, Hollywood saw the release of another feature-length fully animated movie made entirely with AI tools, titled Where the Robots Grow (2024). The impact of Where the Robots Grow was far bigger, because the 1 hour 27 minute animated movie, produced by Tom Paton’s AiMation Studios, was top notch quality, made with the most cost-effective budget of $696 K (Rs. 5.95 Cr in today’s INR rate), and a team of just nine crew members.
Now a Kannada movie in India has thrown its ring for the ‘India’s first’ AI generated feature length film. Love You, funded by a Sidedahalli village priest named Narasimha Murthy, has been made with around 30 AI tools, and a meagre cost of Rs. 10 lakhs within a span of 6 months. Additionally Love You has been made with just two crew members—Narasimha Murthy, and a graphic artist-turned-AI technician, Nuthan.
Love You has cleared censor formalities with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in India, and has been certified with an U/A. The film starring AI actors, comes with a runtime of 1 hour 35 minutes, and features 12 songs in it (all AI-generated).
