As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the creative industries, powerful generative video tools like Vidu are empowering a new wave of storytellers around the world. From Zagreb to Mexico City to São Paulo, creators are using this next-generation video platform to turn their ideas into professional-grade visual stories without expensive studios or complex software.
India, with its massive creator economy, growing animation and gaming sectors, and a deep well of storytelling tradition, is poised to benefit immensely from these global shifts. Vidu offers a glimpse into what the future could look like for Indian animators, filmmakers, educators, and anyone looking to express ideas visually faster, cheaper, and with more creative control. Here’s how three international creators are already doing it and what their experiences could mean for India’s next generation of creators.
Goran: From Newsroom Manager to Music Video Creator
In Zagreb, Croatia, Goran spent his career running a major news website. Animation had always intrigued him, but long workdays left little time for creative exploration. After retiring, he turned to AI to pursue storytelling. His first attempts with other platforms were disappointing. The interfaces felt clunky, and the tools were too rigid.
That changed when he discovered Vidu. Its intuitive design and free trial credits allowed him to experiment with music videos right away. While learning how to prompt effectively still takes time, Goran describes his process as collaborative as Vidu responds to his ideas, helping him refine them as he works.
The real transformation? Rediscovering a sense of personal creativity. Goran’s YouTube audience has responded enthusiastically to his projects, proving that with the right tools, meaningful stories can emerge from anyone, anywhere.
In India, where tens of thousands of creators explore music videos, short films, and animations every year, Goran’s journey shows that retirement or limited experience need not be barriers to creativity. AI tools like Vidu can unlock new pathways for expression — even for those outside the traditional media industry.
Laurent: Streamlining Game Development Through Visual Storytelling
A French creative director based in Mexico City, Laurent works at the intersection of game design, visual storytelling, and rapid prototyping. She adopted Vidu early on, drawn by its ability to maintain consistent character design across different scenes, which is a key challenge in stylized narratives.
Using Vidu’s reference-to-video tools, Laurent cut down on hours of redundant editing. For Indian creators developing animated IPs or pitching narrative content to platforms like YouTube, Amazon Prime, or even regional OTTs, the ability to maintain visual continuity while working solo or with small teams could be game-changing.
Laurent’s videos, often shared along with process tutorials, have reached tens of thousands of viewers. She’s also pushing Vidu’s capabilities by experimenting with stylized three-dimensional characters, which is something she once thought was only possible with expensive rendering infrastructure.
This is especially relevant in India, where small studios and solo creators are experimenting with stylized visuals for everything from indie games to devotional content. Tools like Vidu help flatten the production curve, allowing more voices to participate in a growing digital content market.
Aria: Crafting Anime Inspired by Emotional Storytelling
Aria, a psychologist in Brazil, moonlights as an anime creator. Her characters are rich in symbolism, drawing on therapeutic themes and layered emotional expression. She first came across Vidu through a fan animation and was surprised by how well it captured her unique aesthetic.
Previously, maintaining character consistency and emotional fidelity had been frustrating. With Vidu’s multi-reference system, she was able to create trailers for original concepts like her series “Spika”—which has gained traction on TikTok for its polished style and narrative depth. Importantly, Vidu’s fast generation speeds and ability to handle multiple projects at once allowed her to scale her efforts quickly. This is key for creators in India who often juggle freelance work, content monetization, and side projects across multiple platforms. With audiences responding as if her videos were made by a professional studio, Aria is now exploring voice syncing and narrative tools to deepen her impact.
What This Means for India
India is one of the world’s fastest-growing content creation hubs. From indie animators in Kerala to game designers in Pune and filmmakers in Mumbai, creators are hungry for tools that reduce production costs and increase storytelling freedom. Vidu offers exactly that.
Its interface is beginner-friendly yet powerful. Its speed and flexibility allow for iteration without burning time or budget. And its cost-per-prompt model means experimentation is accessible, not just to production houses, but also to YouTubers, students, educators, and entrepreneurs.
As India’s creative economy continues to expand and as AI becomes a standard part of the creative toolkit, platforms like Vidu will play a key role in democratizing visual storytelling. Whether you’re a retired journalist with a dream, a game designer with a pitch, or a psychologist with a passion for anime, Vidu shows that creativity has no borders. India is already a nation of storytellers. With the right tools, it can also be a world leader in AI-powered creative production.
