The project
Best Film of the first global AI filmmaking championship, made solo in 24 hours.
URSULA won Best Film of the Machine Cinema GenJam Directors Cup, the first global AI filmmaking championship: 63 nations and more than 500 films, with Poland, captained by me, crowned the first AI Video World Champion. I made it solo in the 24-hour Final against teams of five. It tells a Polish story, drawn from Jan Kochanowski's Laments and Bolesław Leśmian's Urszula Kochanowska, in a quiet East Asian structure of development, an unexpected turn and resolution instead of conflict.
How it was made
- Format
- Generated natively in 21:9, so it plays like cinema rather than a technology demo.
- Tools
- Video model, image tools and a node-based pipeline.
- Method
- Solo, in 24 hours.
