How AI was used in Kindergarten for Divine Beasts production
The production integrates AI across a full broadcast pipeline. Daewon Broadcasting oversaw planning, production, and post, while Glitch Goblin Studio, an AI-focused outfit under Korea Edu Group, supported the AI animation pipeline. Producers describe AI as both automation and creative support within broadcast production.
According to the staff, AI informed direction, editing, and post-production AI work, while artists preserved the webtoon’s tone and character appeal. A Daewon Broadcasting representative said AI functioned as a practical creative tool that still met broadcast-level quality. That positions the tech beside editors and directors rather than as a standalone generator.
- Creative AI use: applied alongside human direction and editing.
- Broadcast production: built for delivery to a television slot, not experimental footage.
- Post-production AI: used to refine cuts to TV standards.
The goal, as framed by the team, is broadcast delivery without losing authorial intent. The workflow packages each cut for a 10-minute slot while keeping character appeal from the webtoon. For craft context across feature projects, explore the best animated movies of all time.
