In an interview, Director Kang Yoon-sung discusses his latest movie "Midgard," Korea's first AI-driven feature film that combines live-action and AI-generated visuals. Scheduled to release on October 15th, "Midgard" explores new cinematic formats with a shorter 61-minute runtime, marking the first attempt at a 'series film' in Korea. Kang shares insights on leveraging AI's cost efficiency and creative potential in film production, with AI generating creatures and augmenting action scenes. Despite recognizing AI’s limitations compared to traditional CGI, Kang is optimistic about AI's future role in filmmaking. The film's narrative is enriched with Korean cultural icons like the Buddhist afterlife and traditional Korean zodiac signs, which add a unique flavor to the movie. While AI offers new avenues in filmmaking, Kang emphasizes the irreplaceable role of actors, stating that AI cannot replicate their emotional and expressive capabilities.
