AI Project Polis: Creating a 2050 World Using Neural Networks

The "Polis" project is an experimental work created by a team consisting of Konstantin Muravyov, Zakhar Nasakin, and Andrey Trenin. Four months ago, a pipeline was implemented that closely approximates traditional animation.

The complexity lay in accurately reproducing the timings and acting from the animatic without using 3D previsualization. The main tool for video generation was the Seedance 2.0 model.

The action takes place at an Antarctic station in 2050, exploring the history of human-AI interaction. Initially conceived as a series teaser, it is now being transformed into a game prologue.

• Story, art direction, and animatic were created manually
• Video content generation was primarily done via Seedance 2.0
• Music accompaniment was created using Suno 5.5
• Sound design was performed by Vasily Filatov, using part of the SFX from video generations
• Voice acting was performed by Alexandra Kuragina and Zakhar Nasakin

More detailed information about the production is available on the project's official channel.
