Dosan's Gold Mountain: AI imagery for the years no camera recorded

A documentary of about 13 minutes on the gold-mining years around Jiufen and Jinguashi and one generation's story. Almost no footage survives from the early years, so AI-generated imagery fills the gaps; where records exist we use licensed archive photos. We handle footage checks, editing, narration recording, music editing, subtitles and grading — the film is in the edit now.

The challenge挑戰

What we set out to fix

  • Decades without footage

    Early mining life left almost no footage, yet the story needs pictures.

  • Keeping real and generated apart

    Real people must never get AI-generated faces, and every archive photo has to match its licence.

  • Not a frame out of place

    The edit list, narration script and subtitles have to agree exactly.

What we built做法

How we built it

01

Frame-accurate footage check

All 88 shots checked for format and length, then joined and compared with the master frame by frame — all 18,708 frames match.

02

AI face rule

No AI faces for real people; shots that drifted from their prompt and show a clear face are flagged for the director.

03

Narration & subtitles

63 narration lines and 178 subtitles checked word for word across three documents; each subtitle stays within 16 characters, names and numbers unbroken.

04

Grading & delivery spec

Colour tags and pixel aspect unified, delivered to spec.
