AI tools are also being used to automatically generate storyboards and previsualized animations based on script requirements.

How to make virtual characters in films appear lifelike has long been a challenge for the film industry. But now, more and more Chinese films are making digital creations seem to leap off the screen, blending seamlessly with real actors, storylines, and scenarios.
