An AI-generated film clip is rapidly going viral on social media, claiming that the equivalent of a “high-budget” film worth $200 million (approximately 60 billion Pakistani rupees) in just one day has been produced with the help of artificial intelligence. This statement has caused a stir not only in the entertainment industry but also among Hollywood filmmakers and digital creators. German creative studio ‘The Door Brothers’ released a nearly three-minute science fiction short film, which features scenes of major city destruction, explosions, and cinematic shots reminiscent of the quality of traditional major film studios. The studio says the video was produced entirely by AI in 24 hours, without involving filmmaking processes such as cameras, actors, real sets or traditional VFX processing. Although $200 million was mentioned not as the film’s actual budget but in the context of the production value of a “major film production”, the experiment nevertheless highlights the rapid capabilities of AI and shows how AI generative systems can create large cinematic scenes today. The video was created by the studio using tools from its DorLabs platform, where the concept, visuals, and editing were all done with the help of AI. The project incorporated elements such as cinematic camera motion and large city scenes, which would normally require months of work and hundreds of visual effects artists. The video has received mixed reviews from users after it went viral online. Many viewers praised the photorealistic scenes and animation, while others pointed out the physics errors, lack of character development, and lack of depth to the story, saying it was more of an AI technical demo than a full-fledged film. This experiment not only showcases the capabilities of AI, but also raises questions about traditional methods and the future of human labor in the film and visual effects industry. According to many analysts, it is an example of how large scenes and visual quality of a film can be achieved in a relatively short time, although AI is still not fully reliable in human factors such as character and story depth. This viral video clip shows that AI can participate not only in short videos or VFX, but also in long feature films in the future, which could change the structure of the film industry, whether it is creation, imagination, or tradition.
