Every year from the end of the year to the beginning of the next year is the peak period for grassroots governments at all levels to produce annual work summary report videos. The traditional filming model requires coordinating multiple departments and arranging professional teams for on-location shooting—long cycles and high costs. In 2026, more and more street offices and townships have begun to try using AI technology to produce community governance achievement showcase videos.
1. Why Grassroots Governments Need These Videos
According to the guidance issued by the Ministry of Social Work of the CPC Central Committee in September 2025, "Artificial Intelligence + Grassroots Governance" has become an important direction for promoting precise collaboration among grassroots governments, communities, and social organizations. The core uses of community governance achievement showcase videos include:
Use 1: Reporting annual work achievements to higher-level departments
Street offices and townships need to submit annual work summaries to district-level or municipal-level supervisory departments. Compared to text-only reports, video-format reporting materials are more intuitive—they can use data visualization charts to present key metrics such as population service coverage rate and conflict mediation success rate.
Use 2: Transparent communication with community residents
Content such as before-and-after community renovation comparisons, garbage sorting achievement statistics, and elevator installation progress updates for old residential buildings, when published as short videos in community WeChat groups or official accounts, can enhance residents' trust and participation in government work.
Use 3: Cross-department experience sharing and award applications
Social work departments across regions organize grassroots governance innovation case evaluations. Well-produced achievement showcase videos have a clear advantage in the review process—judges typically need to understand the full scope of a project within a short time, and video's narrative efficiency far exceeds that of PPT or text materials.
2. How AI Technology Reduces Production Barriers
Advantage 1: Generate scene visuals without on-location filming
Community governance achievement showcase videos typically need to present multiple work scenarios. For example, before-and-after comparison images of old residential building renovations traditionally require finding original photos from before construction—if unavailable, only text descriptions can be used. Now AI can generate "post-renovation renderings" based on existing real photos, or reconstruct "pre-renovation conditions" from on-site photos.
Taking a street office in Shanghai as an example: this street office completed elevator installation projects for 3 old residential buildings in 2025. When producing the achievement showcase video, they used ComfyUI + Stable Diffusion to generate post-elevator-installation renderings for each building, then imported them into Jianying (CapCut) to add dynamic effects and narration. The entire project took 8 days from planning to final delivery.
Advantage 2: AI digital avatars replace real presenters
Grassroots governments typically do not have dedicated hosts or spokespersons. AI digital avatar solutions can solve this problem—select a standard business-style digital avatar (such as government-affair templates provided by the Tencent Zhiying platform), input a text script, and automatically generate a lip-synced narration video. The cost is approximately 2,000-5,000 yuan per session, far lower than hiring professional voice actors and renting recording studios.
Advantage 3: Automatic data visualization chart generation
Community governance achievement presentations require large amounts of statistical data. AI tools can directly convert numbers from Excel spreadsheets into dynamic infographics—for example, a bar chart animation showing resident satisfaction rising from 72% to 89%, or a line chart showing 1,200 work orders processed within a year. Creating these with traditional methods would require a designer to produce frame-by-frame animations in After Effects, but AI can now generate basic versions in minutes.
3. Tiered Pricing Reference
Basic tier (3-5 minute annual work report video): 2,000-5,000 yuan
Includes AI digital avatar narration + data visualization chart animation + community photo animation processing. Production cycle is 7-10 days.
Standard tier (5-8 minute comprehensive governance achievement showcase): 8,000-20,000 yuan
Adds real work scene montages, resident interview segments, and customized AI special effects packaging. Suitable for projects that need to report to higher-level departments or participate in award evaluations. Production cycle is 15-20 days.
Premium custom tier (8-12 minute brand-level promotional video): 20,000-50,000 yuan
Includes professional screenwriting team for script writing, multi-scene AI special effects animation, and cinematic-grade post-production color grading. Suitable for district-level or municipal-level benchmark project showcases. Production cycle is 25-35 days.
4. Content Compliance Notes
First, visuals featuring real residents' likenesses must be used with their consent; second, statistical data must be consistent with officially released data and must not exaggerate or fabricate achievement indicators; third, in accordance with the "Labeling Measures" requirements, all AI-generated visuals must include the label "This video was produced with artificial intelligence assistance" at the end of the video.
5. Recommended Production Process
Step 1: Organize annual work materials (photos/statistical data/resident feedback records); Step 2: Determine the video's core narrative structure (such as a "from problem to solution" comparison structure or a "timeline-style" progress report); Step 3: Send a requirements brief to the service provider and request a quotation that includes the AI technology solution; Step 4: During the initial cut review stage, focus on verifying data accuracy and visual authenticity.
