Brisbane’s Red Empire Prods. and Taipei- and Los Angeles-based Organic Media Group have unveiled their first animated vertical series, “Home Away AI.i.Ce,” at Hong Kong FilMart.

Created and written by Cherelynn Baker and directed by Amie Casey, the 12-part sci-fi microseries uses a hybrid approach that combines AI tools and animation to tell the story of Al.i.Ce, a part-girl and part-machine character that’s been left in space following her father’s death. In the series, she makes her way towards Earth to look for her estranged family. Georgie Saunders stars as the hybrid alien protagonist, while Ellie Popov voices Vera the plant.

The team describes the series as a next-generation hybrid-AI animation pipeline that incorporates both real physical and vocal human performances into the animated product.

“We’re not using AI to replace human performance, we’re using it to preserve and keep humans in the AI mix,” said Casey in a statement. “We capture our actors’ physicality and vocal expression and integrate that data directly into the animation. It allows us to create scope and intimacy simultaneously.”

The series is also produced by SoundVisionGC in association with Lions Rest Studios.
