Can You Make Movies with a DIY Feel?! 'Let's Start Film and Video Production with Video Generation AI' Released on April 13!

Ohmsha, Ltd. (President: Mitsuaki Takada, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) will release 'Let's Start Film and Video Production with Video Generation AI' on Monday, April 13, 2026.

Numerous video generation AIs, including 'Veo' and 'Runway,' are attracting attention. Not limited to these services, the progress in image, video, and film creation technology using generative AI is remarkable, and recently, film festivals featuring movies created with AI are being established one after another.

Until now, video production, especially film production, had high hurdles such as production costs, time, and specialized know-how, making it a distant dream for amateurs.

However, by skillfully utilizing generative AI, these barriers are being lowered, making it easier for everyone to engage in film and video production. Furthermore, professionals involved in the film and video industry, such as creators and production companies for TV stations, are also beginning to partially incorporate generative AI into their production processes.

This book is written by an author who, with zero film production experience, created a feature-length film using image generation AI and video generation AI.

It explains the practical flow from the differences between traditional film production and AI film production, to scriptwriting, prompt creation, detailed visual creation using image and video generation AI, music, editing, and release, making it accessible even for beginners.

Recommended for people who:

• Have ever thought, "I want to make a movie someday."

• Are interested in video generation AI.

• Have a "story they want to film" in their head.

• Want to acquire AI as a new weapon as a video creator.

• Want to challenge film as the next stage after YouTube and SNS.
