The Integration of Technology and Art:

Empowering Creators to Tailor High-Quality Short Videos for Online Platforms

Hong Kong, June 20, 2025 — Digital Domain Holdings Limited ( “Digital Domain,” Stock code: 547) has recently unveiled an AI-powered video creation solution named “HANBAO.” This solution utilizes AI-driven tools to help creators identify the key selling points of their products or services. Additionally, it aids in the development of a cinematic approach for producing short videos specifically designed for online platforms, thereby enhancing both visual impact and dissemination effectiveness.

Digital Domain’s AI-powered solution effectively addresses three pain points in video creation:

• In contrast to conventional methodologies, HANBAO demonstrates superior efficiency and effectiveness. By leveraging a digital asset library, Digital Domain empowers creators to access a diverse range of options while maintaining consistent investment levels.
• Throughout the entire production process, HANBAO demonstrates the advantages of AI tools in delivering hero shots. By avoiding live-action filming, it ensures the seamless integration of characters, environments, and other visual objects.
• Over the past three decades, Digital Domain has built extensive expertise in virtual humans, visual effects, and visualization, enabling artists to overcome challenges such as distortion, misalignment, and discontinuity.

Digital Domain has progressively applied this solution to the creation of advertising, game cinematics, and immersive experimental experiences.

Alibaba Cloud, one of the partners for the Paris 2024 Olympics, supported its global cloud broadcasting for the event. As part of this initiative, Digital Domain released an advertisement set in the 18^th century. The ad featured a captivating opening sequence with tens of thousands of spectators gathered in an arena. The limited opportunities for live-action filming presented a challenge for Digital Domain, which needed to create a crowd of digital avatars whose appearances, facial expressions, and body movements that matched the scene. Using AI-driven text-to-image and image-to-video generators, Digital Domain produced 80 photorealistic digital avatars, effectively bringing the unique atmosphere of the arena to life.

MediaTek made a debut at the 2025 COMPUTEX with a cinematic masterpiece created by Digital Domain in collaboration with Uniwaves. Titled “Artificial Intelligence for Everyone: From Edge to Cloud”, the video showcasing the advantages of AI-driven tools in delivering hero shots.

This 2-minute and 35-second video is closely tied to AI in its production process, as MediaTek aimed to craft a visually stunning narrative with information-packed sequences that transition seamlessly, as well as MediaTek-related objects featured throughout. By controlling key frames and optimizing prompts, the artists achieved seamless transitions between various shots, replacing foreground occlusion handling, digital environment development, or other traditional pipelines. The presence of AI-driven tools avoided live-action filming, ensuring the transition of characters, environments, and other elements.

Riding the wave of AI, Digital Domain promotes the fusion of technology and art, harnessing AI to transform creative ideas into reality.  The goal is to accelerate the commercialization of virtual humans, visual effects, and visualization.

Mr. William Wong, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Domain, stated: “At Digital Domain, AI is not meant to replace imaginative thinking or emotional resonance. Instead, artists view it as an efficient tool for producing high-quality visuals. By leveraging AI, Digital Domain is dedicated to advancing the production process toward digitalization and real-time responsiveness. This approach offers creators with unprecedented control, enabling them to continually enhance short videos for online platforms”

Hong Kong, November 11, 2024 — Digital Domain Holdings Limited (“Digital Domain” or the “Company”, Stock Code: 547), a global leader in visual effects and transformative experiences, today announced its establishment of a sponsored Level 1 American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) Programme (“Programme”) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), which became effective.

An ADR is a negotiable receipt, resembling a stock certificate that is issued by a United States of America (“US”) depositary bank appointed by the Company to evidence one or more American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each of which represents five hundred (500) ordinary shares of the Company.

Under the Programme adopted by the Company, the ADRs will be issued against ordinary shares trading on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited that have been deposited with a custodian bank under the Programme.

Under the Programme, the owners and holders of ADSs have the same rights to dividends and distributions and voting powers as the holders of ordinary shares of the Company subject, however, to enforcement procedures provided in the Deposit Agreement entered into by and among BNY Mellon, as the depositary, the Company and the owners and holders of ADSs.

The number of ADSs registered by the Company under the Programme is 300,000,000 ADSs. The establishment of the Programme by the Company is not a new offering of shares and the ADRs are based on the shares of the Company currently in issue. Therefore, the Company receives no proceeds from the establishment of the Programme.

“We are very excited about this ADR program as it has broad appeal among US institutions and will enable Digital Domain to proceed on its path of gaining high accessibility to the US capital markets,” says Seah Ang, CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company. “The availability of ADRs in the US is expected to generate significant interest among US investors that can lead to an increase in shareholder value as the Company continues to execute on its strategy of becoming a US-based entity.”

The Company has selected BNY Mellon as the nominated depository bank. The Programme operates in accordance with the Deposit Agreement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Form F-6, available at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1201935/000101915524000280/digitalf6.htm.
