our approach

We utilized a hybrid-AI workflow to create realistic visuals that transport viewers through different historical periods and civilizations. The production employs a documentary-style approach with scenes depicting ancient storytellers, biblical narratives, and mythological recreations – including the 4,000-year-old Pygmalion myth that continues to inspire modern films like Pretty Woman.

Myter is part of the Tænkepauser series.
