    Mx-Shell: From Zombie Scavenger to a Longer Film (new tab)

    Jingrui TALK interviews Mx-Shell · Jingrui TALK · republished by Sanshidai on The Paper · 2026.10.17

    Mx-Shell recalls using reference assets for consistency, retaining an unexpected generated action and choosing music for Zombie Scavenger. He contrasts this with more detailed prompts and longer-scene continuity in his later project, Jin Haitang. The AI music experiment belongs to that later work.

    • Asset control and unexpected results.
    • Short-film and longer-film production differences.

    The series is produced by the Orca AI talent programme and promotes its competition; payment arrangements are unconfirmed.

    • Define the action before revising AI suggestions.
    • Check movement continuity and musical timing.
