Inspiration

All the Days We Had was inspired by the fleeting, fragile beauty of human connection. It began with a simple image: two people looking at the same sky without knowing they shared a story. That moment became the seed for a film about love, time, and memory.


What it does

This 4:52 minute AI-powered drama short explores the arc of love, from its quiet beginnings to its eternal echoes. Through photorealistic sequences and poetic narration, it tells the story of two lives intertwined — their shared days, their dreams, and the memories that endure beyond loss.


How we built it

  • OpenArt – designed start-shots, visual concepts, and character consistency
  • Kling – generated photorealistic moving sequences
  • Hailuo – produced additional photorealistic moving sequences
  • ElevenLabs – created English narration and pacing
  • Wondershare Filmora – handled editing, transitions, and effects

Challenges we ran into

  • Emotional precision: capturing intimacy without slipping into cliché
  • Consistency: blending Kling and Hailuo footage into a seamless visual style
  • Narration pacing: ensuring the voice-over carried both tenderness and gravity

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Creating a cinematic love story fully built with AI, yet resonant with human emotion
  • Blending multiple AI tools into one fluid, photorealistic narrative
  • Achieving a timeless tone that feels intimate yet universal

What we learned

  • Tone is everything: even with cutting-edge AI, emotional weight comes from restraint and nuance
  • Cross-platform workflow: Kling and Hailuo complement each other when carefully balanced
  • Story first: narration and pacing dictate how every visual choice lands with the audience

What's next for All the Days We Had

  • Official submission to the Chroma Awards in the Drama / Romance category
  • Expanding to other film contests that value experimental storytelling and AI-driven cinema
