Mirror in My Mind - A short video clip

About the project

As a software developer, an AI community leader, a creator and a mother, I wanted to explore a feeling that follows many women throughout their careers. The inspiration came from my own quiet struggle with imposter syndrome. It is the inner voice that keeps asking if you belong, even when logic says you do. This project became a way to turn that emotion into something visual.

What inspired me

The starting point was my own tension between how others see me and how I see myself. I wanted to show that shift in identity, the small distortions that happen inside the mind.

How I built it

The workflow combined several AI tools: The song created with Suno, Storyboard with the Popcorn tool from Higgsfield and Google's Whisk, Edits with Nano Banana, Animation generated with Grok, One shot with Veo 3.1 using Flow, Lip sync in the final shot using Omnihuman through Fal, Final assembly and timing done in Capcut.

What I learned

I learned how much emotional truth can come through when you allow the tools to support the story instead of overshadowing it. I also learned how powerful it is to take a feeling that usually stays hidden and shape it into something visible

Challenges

The biggest challenge was finding the right balance between abstraction and clarity. I wanted the clip to remain open to interpretation but still rooted in a personal experience. From technical POV it was my first time to struggle with lip sync. Tried several tools till I found the perfect shot.
