Introducing Marey by Moonvalley
A New Ethical GENAI Model Built with Licensed Data
Hollywood needs GenAI tools that deliver and Marey does just that.
Moonvalley, founded by ex-DeepMind researchers, just released Marey — the first fully licensed AI video model built for professional production.
It’s designed for directors, VFX teams, and anyone who needs to control every pixel of a frame without compromise.
Here’s What Matters
Precision control across the board
Draw motion paths. Pull performance from reference footage. Direct cameras through a 3D scene built from a single image. Adjust lighting with continuity. Every tool responds with intention.
Studio-grade output
Trained on licensed cinematic footage with high-resolution detail. Clean edges, rich textures, and lighting that holds up in grading. Natural physics and dynamic motion give scenes a weight and rhythm that feels captured, not simulated.
Production-ready pipeline
Marey slots into real workflows. Whether you’re visualizing storyboards, creating final renders, or building complex sequences, it’s engineered for integration. It also interprets complex prompts with adherence and accuracy, responding like a true creative tool.
Ethical training data
Every frame is generated from a model trained exclusively on licensed footage — sourced from indie filmmakers and agencies. No shortcuts. No legal risk. Just clean, professional-grade data that clears a major hurdle for studio adoption.
Pricing
Marey offers flexible plans depending on how much you create:

Why It Matters
Marey puts directors back in the driver’s seat. With models like this, generative filmmaking stops being experimental and starts becoming real production.
Moonvalley launched Marey alongside Asteria Film Co., their in-house AI animation studio. Backed by over $100M in funding, they’re aiming high — and this is their first big shot.
For those of us building the next generation of storytelling, Marey isn’t a preview of what’s possible. It’s a working tool. And a damn impressive one.
Be well, do good, make awesome things.
