Vigloo to Simultaneously Release Two Short Dramas Fully Powered by AI on October 2

On September 29, Spoon Labs announced that it will release two short dramas fully integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) on its short drama platform Vigloo on the 2nd of next month.

The two works set for simultaneous release are "My Savior from Hell," which centers on a contract romance with a second-generation chaebol, and "Seoul: 2053," which explores conflicts with humanoids in a ruined future Seoul. Spoon Labs explained that these two titles represent the first cases in Korea where AI was used throughout the entire production process, from planning to post-production.

Among them, "My Savior from Hell" was led entirely by the in-house production team, covering everything from character development and image generation to video production, all based on a treatment (a condensed scenario). Vigloo employed an image-to-video approach, generating character design images tailored to the treatment and each character's persona, and produced the video in a 9:16 vertical screen format focused on the characters. As a result, visual effects and location shooting costs were reduced by more than 90% compared to traditional methods, and the production period was cut in half, significantly improving efficiency.

For "Seoul: 2053," Spoon Labs collaborated with the domestic production company Johnny Bros to apply AI intensively to visual effects elements that are difficult to film in reality, such as sandstorms, dystopian cities, and humanoids. This not only broke through the genre limitations of the short drama format but also established an AI technology-based collaborative model within the industry.

Based on these achievements, Vigloo plans to spread AI production techniques across the industry. The company will operate with a dual structure of in-house and external partner production teams, aiming to expand partnerships with production companies. By supporting AI-based post-production for elements that are challenging to realize, such as drone shots, military genre fighter jet and gun scenes, and luxury car sequences, Spoon Labs intends to create an environment where production companies and creators can experiment more freely.

Choi Hyukjae, CEO of Spoon Labs, said, "These works are the starting point for establishing AI-based production techniques as the standard across the short-form content industry," adding, "We will continue to innovate so that AI technology becomes a tool that provides competitiveness for both creators and platforms."
