Initium | Nexia's first virtual human
An internal project pushing the boundaries of creative AI. Character design, generative film and immersive WebGL experience.
Internal Nexia project. The goal: create the first fully AI-generated 10-minute short film. Virtual human, cinematic narrative, complete production.
Proving that AI can produce cinema, not just clips. A film that holds over time, with a narrative arc, characters, and consistent art direction from start to finish.
100% Nexia Studio - no external collaboration. Everything is AI: characters, sets, narration, editing. The art director supervises, selects, composes. AI produces.
The character design emerged from hundreds of iterations. Every detail is intentional - the light on the face, subtle skin imperfections, the expression between serenity and strangeness. The virtual human must not be perfect; it must be disturbingly realistic.
The 10-minute film tells the story of an emerging artificial consciousness. A purely visual narrative, no dialogue, with a bespoke soundtrack. Every shot is AI-generated and validated by the art director.
10-minute film delivered. 100% AI production under art director supervision. Nexia's signature project - studio proof of concept.
Initium demonstrates concretely that creative AI, guided by strong artistic intent, produces results that hold over time - not just 15-second clips, but cinema.
Art direction, production and finishing
Our current practice combines art direction, animation, 3D and AI according to each project. The tools used for a historical film depend on its production context.
