‘Vibe Directing,’ Hybrid Filmmaking and Robots: Disney’s Startup Program Goes All-In on AI
On the ground at Disney’s Accelerator Day, the company’s bet on startups spanned from gray-box AI filmmaking to prompt-driven video BURBANK, Calif.
AI Summary
Disney’s Accelerator Day showcased a range of AI‑driven startup projects. A Boston Dynamics four‑legged robot equipped with a camera and AI “brains” from FieldAI moved onstage outside the Walt Disney Main Theatre. Nearby, Simile demonstrated a system that uses AI and tens of thousands of digital twins of real people to conduct virtual focus‑group testing. In a sound‑stage demo, an actress performed a terrified reaction in front of a blue “gray‑box” set designed for hybrid AI filmmaking, a technique linked to Doug Liman’s latest project.
