Recently, Dunhuang, a well-known tourist city in Gansu province of China, released an AI-generated tourism animation promotional video. According to Chinese media reports, the entire content of the video, including its lyrics and animations, was generated by an AI tool called Baidu Wenku. It ingeniously integrates local attractions and cultural customs into the two-minute cartoon, triggering a heated discussion on TikTok. After being shared to TikTok by users, the video has also sparked widespread discussion in the social media platform.
It is understood that this video was produced using the storybook/cartoon generation function of the Baidu Wenku app. Generating a two-minute animated video takes only 2 - 3 minutes. The high efficiency allows for rapid content creation, which can be extremely beneficial for timely marketing and promotion efforts.
Additionally, another remarkable aspect is the consistency of character images within this video of Dunhuang tourism. Achieving such consistency is a challenge that other AI tools often struggle with. The video generated by Baidu Wenku has managed to ensure that the characters maintain a uniform appearance throughout, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
Moreover, Baidu Wenku has made significant breakthroughs in bilingual content generation. By overcoming the complexities associated with bilingual content, Baidu Wenku has opened up new possibilities for international promotion and cross-cultural communication.
