Today, Chinese-Canadian singer Kelly Yu released a new video for her song Werewolf. The music video was made in collaboration with generative AI company CreateAI as a partnership to test the capabilities of the model. This is the first time a major recording artist has made a complete music video with the technology.
About Kelly Yu’s Werewolf
In an unprecedented fusion of technology and artistry, renowned Chinese-Canadian Singer and Actress Kelly Yu has teamed up with CreateAI (OTCMKTS: TSPH) (“CreateAI” or the “Company”), a global artificial intelligence company, to produce a revolutionary music video for her new single “Werewolf.” The partnership signifies the first time a music video by a major recording artist has been created from concept to completion employing generative AI.
The collaboration also highlights the power of the combined efforts of human directors, production artists, and a cutting-edge generative AI model, bringing Ms. Yu’s creative vision to life in a way never seen before. Through leveraging CreateAI’s model, the creative team seamlessly integrated human drawn key-frames and direction with AI-generated videos, resulting in fine detail and nuance perfectly buttressing the song’s emotional depth and complexity.
The three-and-a-half-minute video presents an air of dark mystery, offering a shadowy theme of a fairy tale with elements such as castles, forests, werewolves, and romance. The male and female protagonists use dance to weave a story of desire. Unlike past AI-generated videos, the difficult dance moves in the film are presented in a more refined manner, with consistent and fine facial characteristics seen in the characters.
