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”

Utilizing biometric data from real-world people to create high-quality virtual humans that can be provided for diverse services

Hong Kong, March 4, 2025 – Digital Domain Content (Hong Kong) Limited (“Digital Domain”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Domain Holdings Limited (stock code: 547), and TOPPAN Holdings Inc. (“TOPPAN Holdings”, TYO: 7911) have jointly announced the launch of a comprehensive collaboration this month. This follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to work together in the field of virtual humans, utilizing high-resolution data gathered from biometric scanning of real individuals.

The collaboration aims to create innovative solutions by integrating virtual humans developed from this high-precision biometric data into Digital Domain’s Momentum Cloud™.[1] The biometric data is captured on a Light Stage[2] at TOPPAN Holdings’ VIRTUAL HUMAN LAB™.[3]

Alleviating Labor Shortages and Accelerating Virtual Human Applications Development

Industries worldwide are facing labor shortages. According to a report by the McKinsey Global Institute, labor markets in advanced economies are among the tightest in two decades. Aging workforces have made this challenge a long-term trend, pushing companies and economies to explore new ways to expand labor capacity and boost productivity. Among the promising solutions is the development of AI technologies.
Technologies and applications related to virtual humans are evolving rapidly due to advancements in three-dimensional computer graphics and artificial intelligence. Virtual human technologies unrestricted by time or location, can flexibly meet the needs of global markets and are expected to be utilized in a range of fields, from entertainment to hospitality, retail, education, and healthcare, to enhance service experiences through creating innovative applications. Photorealistic virtual humans featured in corporate advertising and video content have garnered growing attention in recent years, and they are now being deployed for functions such as reception desks and facility guidance.

TOPPAN Holdings has been producing high-quality virtual humans based on biometric data captured on its Light Stage since 2020. The virtual humans created function as user interfaces for various services. Digital Domain, with over 30 years of experience in visual effects, AI virtual humans, and visualization, continues to develop cloud-based virtual human solutions through advanced production and cloud technologies.

By combining TOPPAN Holdings’ Light Stage scanning technologies and Digital Domain’s virtual human technologies, the collaboration aims to offer high-quality virtual human solutions to meet market demand and help alleviate labor shortages.

Mr. Hiroshi Asada, head of TOPPAN Holdings’ Business Innovation Center, stated, “TOPPAN has been promoting business development in the frontier field of virtual humans by using a Light Stage, a piece of cutting-edge human scanning technology. Digital Domain has a long track record of experience in the film industry for light stage production and also has a market-ready solution for the industry called Momentum Cloud™, so we expect significant synergy from this collaboration. We look forward to accelerating the market development of virtual humans and creating various use cases for each industry.”
Creating an Efficient Production Flow to Meet Market Demands

TOPPAN Holdings will conduct face scanning on a Light Stage, evaluate quality, develop business models for customized virtual humans, and provide original virtual human characters, while Digital Domain will import the high-resolution data obtained from the Light Stage into its Momentum Cloud™ platform to create and operate photorealistic virtual humans.

The collaboration will establish a high-quality, efficient production flow for virtual humans based on establishing production methods by utilizing AI and high-resolution data from face scanning on the Light Stage, enabling photorealistic virtual humans created from real-world people to be operated on Momentum Cloud™. This will reduce the lead time and cost for producing virtual humans, enabling a prompt and efficient response to requests for original character production.

Mr. William Wong, CEO of Digital Domain, stated, “Digital Domain is dedicated to developing AI-driven virtual human technologies, implementing applications, and creating sustainable business models for the future. As the significance of virtual humans increases across various industries, the pace of application development will also quicken. The virtual human solutions created in collaboration with TOPPAN Holdings will utilize both companies’ technological strengths to enhance virtual humans’ quality, performance, and effectiveness. These solutions will effectively meet market demands and create diverse application scenarios, opening up new opportunities for innovative business models.”

The collaboration aims to establish a production flow for virtual humans, which will help expand TOPPAN Holdings’ lineup of original virtual character offerings. This initiative will also provide solutions for casting these virtual humans for various services in the global market, utilizing Digital Domain’s Momentum Cloud™. By advancing pilot testing and business development that leverage the strengths of both companies, Digital Domain and TOPPAN Holdings aspire to create a virtual human solution business by the end of fiscal 2025.

1 Momentum Cloud™ is a server-based software platform for controlling virtual humans that can be used in the B2B2C space.
2 A Light Stage is a piece of equipment for high-precision face scanning developed by the University of Southern California.
3 The VIRTUAL HUMAN LAB™ was opened in December 2020 as a facility for advancing research and application development related to the use of face scanning and various other human biometric data.

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.
