AI Space Adventure Created in Four Days for Live Concert

A lonely disco ball travelling through space in search of happiness has become the unlikely star of an AI-generated film created in just four days for a live concert in Istanbul.

The unusual production was commissioned for Turkish singer Deha Bilimlier's performance at Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Open-Air Theatre on 25 October 2026.

Created by production company Leopati and directed by Güneş Polater, the film tells the story of a small mirrored ball exploring distant planets before discovering that the happiness it has been searching for might be waiting at a concert on Earth.

The six-minute-and-42-second production combines AI-generated science fiction scenes with real footage of Bilimlier preparing to perform.

What happens in the AI film?

The story begins with the disco ball floating alone through space, visiting unfamiliar worlds without finding a reason to feel happy.

Along the way, it encounters futuristic environments filled with robots, enormous stone statues, glittering cities and strange planets.

Eventually, a signal announces Bilimlier's concert in Istanbul, prompting the character to travel towards Earth.

After a dramatic collision in space, the disco ball arrives in the Turkish city and makes its way to the venue.

The film then moves away from its artificial environments and introduces real footage of Bilimlier backstage, followed by scenes of the singer performing with his band.

Bilimlier, a Turkish pop singer from İzmir, became widely known through the television competition Akademi Türkiye in 2004.

How was the film made in four days?

Leopati used GPT Image to create the characters and backgrounds before generating moving footage through Seedance.

The team initially developed reference images to establish the disco ball's appearance, ensuring that its mirrored surface remained consistent as it moved between different environments.

This was particularly important because generative AI can alter the appearance of the same character when producing separate scenes.

The filmmakers then selected the generated shots and edited them to music provided by Bilimlier, adding sound effects and completing the colour grading.

Only the opening two minutes are entirely AI-generated. The remainder incorporates conventional footage of the singer and his musicians, with the transition designed to connect the fictional journey to the live performance.

All storytelling, direction, editing and sound work were completed by the production team rather than being independently handled by AI.

A different approach to concert visuals

The project was designed to give audiences a short story before Bilimlier appeared on stage, rather than relying on a conventional countdown or lighting sequence.

Its absence of dialogue also allows the film to communicate through music, movement and the character's journey.

The completed production was shown on the concert's stage screen on 25 October before being released on YouTube the following day.
