Tim Yip x KLING AI: Courier

AI has given us boundless imagination, allowing our creative visions to explore limitless possibilities. Director Tim Yip’s first AI short film, "Courier”. Tim uses AI to depict and generate an infinitely profound cosmic world. The alien courier, Lili, embarks on a journey to awaken Earth by searching for the Silver Dragon. The ancient, mottled surface of the Earth and the swirling dust kicked up by a rapidly descending spaceship create a visually immersive experience. As Lili delves deeper into her exploration, the story gradually unveils the truth behind Earth's decline and the potential hope for its revival, offering profound reflections on life, existence, and the future.

Tim believes it’s fascinating to shift the narrative perspective from human self-reflection to that of another life form. Letting an alien observe and interpret us provides a fresh and intriguing viewpoint. Lili, with her enigmatic nature, looks at Earth with an otherworldly gaze—just one blink of her eyes evokes a strangely familiar feeling as if imbued with human essence and attitude. This surprising connection draws Tim into a more magical and wondrous world.
