Problem
Film and TV productions rely on expensive, time-consuming manual workflows to create digital assets like screen graphics, prop photographs, and background plates. Traditional methods require dedicated photo shoots, weeks of motion graphics work, and high-cost CGI, putting polished visual elements out of reach for productions with limited budgets.
Solution
Mindbend applies generative AI to produce production-ready digital assets faster and cheaper than conventional pipelines. The company generates fully interactive screen graphics that talent can operate live on set, motion graphics such as logos and in-world brands, and character-consistent prop photos built from cast datasets with unlimited variations. For vehicle scenes, Mindbend is building a generative virtual production platform that leverages real-world datasets originally developed for autonomous vehicle training, enabling realistic environments in any location that can be rendered to match the shot. Every asset is designed for cinema-grade output and tested in real productions by a team of working filmmakers and developers.
Target Audience
Primary customers are film and television production companies of any budget, including independent productions and studios that need cost-effective, high-quality digital props and virtual production assets for on-set use.
