Our Creative Labs team set out to answer this intriguing question through a creative experiment that reimagined Gandhi for modern India. Here’s how we turned this thought-provoking idea into reality.

‍

The Big Idea

The spark for this project came from an unlikely source: Ganpati celebration reels. These fun, engaging videos inspired us to create something that would bridge history with the modern world. We envisioned Gandhi visiting India in 2024, bringing his timeless values into today’s context. The goal? To connect with our audience in a way that was both reflective and contemporary.

‍

The Challenges We Faced

Every creative journey has its hurdles, and this one was no exception. Our challenges included:

• AI Struggles: Creating an accurate, recognizable version of Gandhi’s face proved to be tricky. Balancing authenticity with modern relevance required multiple iterations.
• Learning New Tools: We used RunwayML for the first time, which involved a steep learning curve and a fair share of trial and error.
• Tradition vs. Tech: Striking the right balance between Gandhi’s historical authenticity and his modern adaptation was a constant balancing act.

‍

How We Brought Gandhi to Life

Transforming this ambitious idea into a polished output required a blend of creativity and technical expertise:

• ChatGPT for Ideas and Visuals: We crafted detailed prompts to generate visual concepts of Gandhi in 2024, imagining how he would look and interact with the modern world.
• RunwayML for Animation: To make Gandhi come alive, we used RunwayML to add subtle movements and lifelike expressions.
• Photoshop for Refinement: The final touches—from his iconic facial expressions to the vibrant settings—were polished in Photoshop to ensure every detail felt authentic yet modern.

Behind the Scenes

Every project has its memorable moments, and this one was no different. One of our funniest? Realizing we’d used up all our RunwayML credits just as we were perfecting Gandhi’s animations! It was a lighthearted reminder of the dedication and effort that went into bringing this experiment to life.

Perfecting the Details

From Gandhi’s iconic smile to the landmarks surrounding him, every element was meticulously crafted. We worked tirelessly to ensure he looked right at home in 2024 while staying true to his historical essence.

The Outcome

Despite the challenges, the result was a fresh and innovative take on Gandhi in modern India. The final product is a visual narrative that brings Gandhi to life in a way you’ve never seen before, showcasing how creativity and technology can come together to honor history while making it accessible and relatable for today’s audience.
