Ironveil: The Death City

What it does

IRONVEIL: The Death City | AI Short Film Trailer

In the frozen frontier, the exiled knight Kaelthorn Veynar is relentlessly pursued by the ruthless warlord Darganth Veyros and his fearsome riders mounted on Grimhowlers, wolf-like beasts whose howls echo like death itself. In his desperate flight, Kaelthorn unwittingly crosses into the ruins of Lumora, once the grand capital of King Altheryon Dravenhart’s radiant kingdom, now a cursed wasteland after its people drank the Elixir of Immortality and were transformed into the eternal night-dwellers known as the Noctyrian. Within this Death City, Kaelthorn encounters Serenya Kaelith, a hardened survivor who saves him from the Noctyrian’s grasp, marking the beginning of his perilous journey through the Death City of Lumora.

How we built it

We built IRONVEIL: The Death City using a combination of state-of-the-art AI tools and creative workflows. The base imagery was generated with MidJourney v7, then further refined and developed through Nano Banana Gemini Flash 2.5 to achieve cinematic consistency and detail. The motion sequences were created using Hailuo on VideoMax, followed by editing, sequencing, and final polish in CapCut.

Our process blended prompt engineering, AI-assisted visual development, and traditional editing techniques to bring a dark fantasy world to life, from character design and environment building, to storytelling and cinematic pacing. This workflow allowed us to merge creativity with AI innovation, producing a trailer that feels both epic and immersive.
