I will always be with you.

Inspiration

The concept came from the unsettling idea that a camera might capture more than what the human eye can see — that something could be waiting behind the flash.

What it does

A man reviews photographs and notices a mysterious presence appearing progressively .
Driven by curiosity, he takes one final selfie — and at the moment of the flash, the demon reveals itself beside him.

How we built it

• Visuals: Photorealistic, generated with Midjourney V7.
  
• Video creation: Minimax Hailuo 2, Wan 2.2, Nano Banana, Flux, and Seedream for movement and consistency (via Freepik’s AI platform).
  
• Upscaling & enhancement: Magnific.
  
• Audio: Composed and mixed in Logic Pro X.
  
• Editing: DaVinci Resolve.
  
• Format: 1m20s, 1280×720p, H.264 video, AAC audio.

Challenges we ran into

• Maintaining visual continuity between multiple AI-generated photos as the demonic form appears progressively.
  
• Lighting realism during the final “flash” sequence required fine-tuned frame blending and exposure mapping.
  
• Rhythmic tension had to build naturally in under 90 seconds.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• A fully AI-generated horror short that achieves authentic tension and cinematic rhythm.
  
• The final reveal feels handcrafted, even though no traditional camera was used.

What we learned

• Coordinating multiple AI models across image, motion, and audio to achieve a consistent tone.
  
• Using AI not just for visuals, but for controlled psychological timing and narrative buildup.
