Charismatic (2025)

The Charismatic project was a UK consortium initiative funded by Innovate UK (£1.04M, 2024-2025) to research how generative artificial intelligence can support storytelling in film and television. Led by Charismatic.ai with Channel 4, Aardman Animations, Falmouth University, Sound Reactions, digital ethicist Lisa Talia Moretti, and the UAL Creative Computing Institute (CCI), the project developed an open-source AI prototype for generating storyboards and animatics.
