Inspiration

As a child, I imagined worlds with flying cars and stepping inside video games. This project brings that sense of wonder to life—a magical forest, glowing creatures, and a hidden world only a bright heart can restore. I wanted to see if AI could help me turn imagination into a full cinematic experience.

What it does

"Go Find the Boy: It's Time" is a fully AI-generated animated short film that tells the story of a boy, Erendor, who follows a magical light into a hidden village and restores fading magic with the power of his heart. The film blends AI-generated images, animations, and voiceovers into a cohesive cinematic experience.

How we built it

We used AI tools for every stage:

ChatGPT for story and image prompts

Leonardo AI for high-quality character and scene images

Hailou AI to animate still images with cinematic transitions

ElevenLabs for AI voiceovers for narrator and SFX

Premiere Pro for editing, sound design, and final assembly

Challenges we ran into

Maintaining character consistency across scenes

Creating smooth animations from AI-generated images

Iterating multiple times to ensure scene continuity and storytelling flow

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A fully AI-generated cinematic short film produced without a professional team

Consistent characters, cinematic transitions, and magical storytelling

Demonstrating how AI can drastically reduce production time from months to days

What we learned

AI tools can now handle complex creative workflows end-to-end

Iteration and combining multiple AI models is key to achieving professional-quality results

Storytelling still requires human creativity to guide AI output effectively
