Recap

AI Video Creation
for Everyone

One night. Six speakers. The AI video tools that used to need a studio — now on a laptop, in a packed room in Causeway Bay.

The night

Six speakers. One big screen.

Over 120 people packed out The Hive Causeway Bay for our biggest night yet, co-hosted with Berkeley Club Hong Kong and OpenClaw Asia. Six speakers took the stage: five screened AI videos they'd made and broke down exactly how — a filmmaker whose shorts played Shanghai and Beijing festivals, an award-winning AIGC artist, a creative technologist who builds for Coca-Cola and Nike, a founder using AI ads as a daily edge, and our own Hanley on making a movie trailer in a single night with Claude Code. HolyCrab.ai rounded out the lineup with a first look at Seedance 2.0. And — because every Lunatechs night is free and always will be — the pizza fund hit its feast goal, so there was pizza for the whole room.
