On March 17th, Beijing Shengshu Technology Co., Ltd. announced a strategic partnership between its video large model product, Vidu, and Aura Productions, a renowned American animation studio. Together, they will create the first-ever overseas AI-generated original sci-fi anime series. This collaboration marks the official integration of AI technology into the animation production workflow, pioneering the use of AI video generation platforms in short anime creation and ushering in a new AI-driven era for the animation industry.
Under the agreement, the two parties will launch a 50-episode short sci-fi anime series, planned for release on major global social media platforms this year. Vidu's multi-subject consistency function will play a core role in the production process, ensuring seamless integration of characters, objects, and scenes to achieve high-quality and coherent complex animation narratives. The significantly improved video generation efficiency of Vidu 2.0, capable of generating high-quality videos in just 10 seconds, drastically reduces video production time—a key factor in Aura Productions' decision to partner with Vidu.
The first trailer for the project is expected to be released globally soon. This marks not only the beginning of the collaboration between Shengshu Technology and Aura Productions but also a significant milestone in the application of AI technology in the animation field, signaling a future of more intelligent and efficient animation creation.
