Chosun Ilbo’s Economy & Tech section featured CineV on March 12, 2025, in a piece titled “AI Does 95% of the Work, Even Small Studios Can Now Make Animation.” The article looks at how generative AI is lowering the barrier to entry in animation, naming CineV among the Korean startups leading this shift.
What the Article Covers
South Korea’s leading daily reported on a structural shift happening in the global animation industry — one that CineV is built to accelerate.
- AI now handles up to 95% of production — Japan’s Twins Hinahima became the first AI-produced animation to air on a Japanese broadcast network (MBS), with AI automating line art, coloring, lip-sync, and character movement
- Production time cut in half — A standard 12-episode series that once took two or more years can now be completed in roughly half that time
- Cost savings of 60–70% — Industry insiders estimate AI reduces production cost and time by that margin when planning and direction are excluded
- CineV cited directly — The article highlights CineV as a Korean solution where users input a story and AI builds it into a 3D cinematic video — with full control over acting, lighting, camera angle, and background
- China is moving fast too — State broadcaster CCTV aired a fully AI-generated animation series; Chinese AI startups are targeting 100 manga titles this year with teams as small as 5 people
CineV’s Take
That’s not a prediction. CineV was built to make it real. If you have an IP or a character you’ve been waiting to bring to life, that moment has already arrived.
