iQIYI opens a studio where scenery and props are changed after the actors go home
iQIYI opened what it calls China's first AI film studio, a 110-square-meter stage in Shanghai where footage syncs straight from set to its NadouPro production platform. Directors can then generate new visual elements and change sets, lighting, costumes and props after filming while keeping the actors' performances. NadouPro offers nearly 30 video models, including ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 and Kuaishou's Kling 4.0. The first production, the internet feature "Cop in Trouble," began filming on October 28th. iQIYI gave no savings figures for the new studio. SourcesA
