"The future of culture isn’t in preservation alone — it’s in reinvention."
Fernando Bernard Zaoldyeck, a young AI enthusiast from Indonesia, has created a visionary short film titled "The Golden Indonesia 2045 – When Tradition Meets Tomorrow" — a powerful narrative that envisions a future where Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage thrives alongside intelligent technology.
And he did it entirely with WAN Video, Alibaba Cloud’s cutting-edge text-to-video AI platform.
👉 Watch the Vision:
Indonesia has set an ambitious national goal: Golden Indonesia 2045 — a vision of a sovereign, advanced, and equitable nation by its centennial year. But as the country accelerates toward technological modernization, a critical question arises:
How can Indonesia innovate without losing its soul?
Fernando’s project offers a compelling answer.
His film presents a future where:
● A batik artisan works hand-in-hand with a robotic assistant, digitizing centuries-old patterns while preserving human craftsmanship.
● Students learn history from holographic teachers who speak in local languages and wear traditional attire.
● Autonomous electric buses glide through clean, green cities adorned with architectural nods to indigenous design.
● Technology doesn’t replace culture — it amplifies it.
Every frame of The Golden Indonesia 2045 was generated using WAN Video, Alibaba Cloud’s AI-powered text-to-video tool designed to empower creators with accessible, high-quality generative video capabilities.
Fernando used a structured prompt engineering approach to guide the AI:
Example Prompt:
"A Javanese batik artisan in traditional kebaya drawing intricate floral patterns on fabric, beside a robotic arm scanning and enhancing the design in real time, soft studio lighting, hyper-realistic cinematic style, warm golden-hour glow, 16:9 aspect ratio"
Through iterative refinement, he generated over 20 unique AI video clips, each depicting a different facet of his envisioned future.
Sample prompt he use to generate one of the video:
These were then edited in other video editing platform, where:
● A cohesive narrative arc was constructed
● Bilingual text overlays (Bahasa Indonesia and English) were added
● Music and cinematic effects enhanced emotional resonance
● Color grading unified the visual tone
The result? A 30 second video that feels professional, cinematic, and deeply human — despite being born entirely from AI-generated content.
Fernando’s work exemplifies a transformative shift: AI is no longer just a tool for automation — it is becoming a medium for storytelling, education, and cultural preservation.
By placing tools like WAN Video in the hands of creatives, Alibaba Cloud is empowering the next generation of creators to shape the futures they want to live in.
Fernando represents the future of AI: curious, purpose-driven, and deeply human.
He is part of a growing wave of young creators using generative AI to explore identity, sustainability, and societal progress.
Alibaba Cloud is proud to support innovators like Fernando through accessible AI tools that turn imagination into impact.
We believe that:
● Technology should serve humanity
● AI should amplify culture, not erase it
● The best ideas come from those who care deeply about their communities
And we can’t wait to see what Fernando — and others like him — will create next.
