Ways to make films about Xi'an with AI
Xi'an, known in ancient times as Chang'an, is an ancient capital; the Terracotta Warriors, the Ming city wall and the Chang'an of Tang poetry are household names, and its Tang-style streets are lively at night. Ideas:
- The Terracotta Warriors: march the figures out of the pits in formation as their painted colors slowly return, for artifact revival shorts and exhibition-hall animation.
- The city wall and the Bell and Drum Towers: cycling on the wall and watching the towers light up, as a single-shot night segment of a city image film.
- Datang Everbright City: crowds in Tang dress, lanterns and street performances, in festive night-tour shorts released before Spring Festival and National Day.
- Chang'an in Tang poetry: paint lines like Li Bai's “a sliver of moon over Chang'an” as a moving scroll, for a poetry and culture film.
- Qinqiang opera: its singing, painted faces and stage, for a heritage animation or the title sequence of a city culture program.
How Xi'an projects run remotely, and when we travel
We are based in Longgang, Shenzhen, and projects in other cities can run fully remotely: briefs and reviews over video calls, script, style, storyboards and first cut approved step by step in a project group, the film reviewed online and delivered via cloud drive.
When meeting in person or being on site matters, we can send people to you—for a kickoff meeting, a location recce with reference photos, or on-site playback support on event day. Travel and accommodation are listed separately in the quote.
Work worth a look for clients in Xi'an
We have not yet done a local project in Xi'an. Start with the Gansu Culture & Tourism Group Promo Film, which contrasts past and present by turning a camel caravan into a high-speed train and pairing flying apsaras with a rocket; our support work for CMG's Exploring China Through Idioms for telling allusions clearly; and the NDRC Mid-Autumn Chinese-Style Video for the look of Tang poetry animation.
Pricing and timeline for Xi'an projects
We take on projects from a few thousand to several hundred thousand yuan, priced by running time and production tier; a 1–2 minute film usually takes about two weeks, and a sample demo can be ready the same day. Rush production is available; timeline and price are agreed case by case.
