Bridging creativity and AI for the future of cinematography

Our projects

The projects showcased here offer a glimpse into what can be achieved through the synergy of your artistic vision and the creative intelligence of mAI Studio.

Each project begins with a simple thought or prompt from a cinematographer. mAI’s Specialized General Intelligence (SGI) interprets this idea and generates multiple variations—exploring how your vision can be brought to life using different techniques, lenses, frames, themes, and movements.

To help you turn your cinematic idea into reality, mAI also provides a step-by-step execution guide, offering detailed skills, tools, and techniques needed to recreate the visual scene.

In some cases, mAI can even suggest real shooting locations across India that best match your scene.

From a single, simple prompt, mAI uses its cinematic intelligence to think, interpret, and ideate powerful visual storytelling possibilities

So you can step onto the set, execute your craft, and leave the world applauding.
