Staircase Studios AI, a new maker of films, TV series and video games, is promising to deliver “near-major-studio” levels of quality at budgets under $500,000.
The new company was founded by Pouya Shahbazian, producer of the Divergent franchise. With input from Brett Stuart, Head of AI Filmmaking, Staircase has built a proprietary AI workflow called ForwardMotion, which the company says “revolutionizes the process of studio filmmaking.”
The studio says it will aim to produce more than 30 projects in the next three to four years, with photorealistic results. (Take a look at the first film in the video above and read on to see more film and TV titles on the company’s launch slate.)
