The Integration of Technology and Art:
Empowering Creators to Tailor High-Quality Short Videos for Online Platforms
HONG KONG, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Digital Domain Holdings Limited ( “Digital Domain,” Stock code: 547) has recently unveiled an AI-powered video creation solution named “HANBAO.” This solution utilizes AI-driven tools to help creators identify the key selling points of their products or services. Additionally, it aids in the development of a cinematic approach for producing short videos specifically designed for online platforms, thereby enhancing both visual impact and dissemination effectiveness.
Digital Domain’s AI-powered solution effectively addresses three pain points in video creation:
- In contrast to conventional methodologies, HANBAO demonstrates superior efficiency and effectiveness. By leveraging a digital asset library, Digital Domain empowers creators to access a diverse range of options while maintaining consistent investment levels.
- Throughout the entire production process, HANBAO demonstrates the advantages of AI tools in delivering hero shots. By avoiding live-action filming, it ensures the seamless integration of characters, environments, and other visual objects.
- Over the past three decades, Digital Domain has built extensive expertise in virtual humans, visual effects, and visualization, enabling artists to overcome challenges such as distortion, misalignment, and discontinuity.
Digital Domain has progressively applied this solution to the creation of advertising, game cinematics, and immersive experimental experiences.
Alibaba Cloud, one of the partners for the Paris 2024 Olympics, supported its global cloud broadcasting for the event. As part of this initiative, Digital Domain released an advertisement set in the 18th century. The ad featured a captivating opening sequence with tens of thousands of spectators gathered in an arena. The limited opportunities for live-action filming presented a challenge for Digital Domain, which needed to create a crowd of digital avatars whose appearances, facial expressions, and body movements that matched the scene. Using AI-driven text-to-image and image-to-video generators, Digital Domain produced 80 photorealistic digital avatars, effectively bringing the unique atmosphere of the arena to life.
MediaTek made a debut at the 2025 COMPUTEX with a cinematic masterpiece created by Digital Domain in collaboration with Uniwaves. Titled “Artificial Intelligence for Everyone: From Edge to Cloud”, the video showcasing the advantages of AI-driven tools in delivering hero shots.
This 2-minute and 35-second video is closely tied to AI in its production process, as MediaTek aimed to craft a visually stunning narrative with information-packed sequences that transition seamlessly, as well as MediaTek-related objects featured throughout. By controlling key frames and optimizing prompts, the artists achieved seamless transitions between various shots, replacing foreground occlusion handling, digital environment development, or other traditional pipelines. The presence of AI-driven tools avoided live-action filming, ensuring the transition of characters, environments, and other elements.
Riding the wave of AI, Digital Domain promotes the fusion of technology and art, harnessing AI to transform creative ideas into reality. The goal is to accelerate the commercialization of virtual humans, visual effects, and visualization.
Mr. William Wong, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Domain, stated: “At Digital Domain, AI is not meant to replace imaginative thinking or emotional resonance. Instead, artists view it as an efficient tool for producing high-quality visuals. By leveraging AI, Digital Domain is dedicated to advancing the production process toward digitalization and real-time responsiveness. This approach offers creators with unprecedented control, enabling them to continually enhance short videos for online platforms”
