Introducing Marey by Moonvalley, the world’s first fully licensed AI video model built for professional production.

Marey transforms filmmaking today. Its unprecedented creative controls enable you to realize expansive visions, execute complex VFX sequences, and maintain complete creative authority throughout your projects.

This is generative filmmaking for those who need to control every frame.

We can't wait to see what you make.

This is interesting. Is AI an abuse of IP or a tool for creativity? https://t.co/4BSoBmJion

Kudos to Rovio and the Artists, Producers and Developers who made it happen!
