Lill

A Gen-AI Production Experiment

To explore the cinematic boundaries of Tobias Allanson’s personal IP, we trained our generative AI pipeline using footage of his physically built animatronic characters, alongside environment models created from test footage he shot on location in Sweden. The result is Lill, an atmospheric proof-of-concept film designed to help work out the visual style for a future feature.

This test highlighted key limitations in current AI training models, as certain straightforward real-world elements could not be generated reliably. It demonstrated that a dependable production workflow still requires a strategic hybrid approach, combining traditional 3D (CGI) and practical filmmaking to bridge these gaps.
