‘Misteri di Sebalik Order’: Malaysia’s First Fully AI-Generated Animated Series Arrives
In a significant move for Malaysia’s creative industry, TV3 has announced the upcoming launch of ‘Misteri di Sebalik Order,’ an animated series that was created entirely using generative artificial intelligence (AI).
The series is a landmark project, demonstrating how generative AI tools can handle the full scope of animation, from character design to visual execution, to streamline production processes. While ‘Misteri di Sebalik Order’ is the first fully AI-generated animated series in the country, it follows other pioneering local efforts. Notably, the movie ‘Pirate Queen: Zheng Yi Sao,‘ a Malaysian and Singaporean co-production, was also made entirely using AI. This project underscores a growing trend where local creators are leveraging technology to push the boundaries of filmmaking.
The use of generative AI in ‘Misteri di Sebalik Order’ is expected to serve as a powerful proof of concept, inspiring more local studios and creators to explore these tools. The project aims to demonstrate that AI can be a powerful co-pilot for artists by handling labour-intensive tasks and allowing animators to focus on storytelling, character development, and intricate visual direction.
Industry observers also point to a broader global trend, citing Netflix’s use of generative AI for some visual effects scenes in the Argentine science-fiction series “El Eternauta (The Eternaut).” These international examples, along with local productions like ‘Pirate Queen: Zheng Yi Sao’ and now ‘Misteri di Sebalik Order,’ signal a future where technology and creativity are becoming inextricably linked in the entertainment industry.
The series is being aired on the TikTok profile @aiseyymentv3_.
