OBSESSION — Project Story

Inspiration

“Obsession” began as a challenge: make the most unhinged pink relationship music video ever.
I explored themes of heartbreak, delusion, denial, unhealthy attachment, and the comedic chaos of “losing your mind” over love.
Aesthetic influences include Y2K pink pop culture, K-pop teasers, chaotic fancam energy, and surreal AI-driven storytelling.

What it does

A short AI-powered music video following a girl spiraling into emotional intensity after a breakup.
It expresses:

  • heartbreak
  • denial
  • obsession
  • revenge fantasy
  • fame illusions
  • emotional confusion

The character creates a city-wide spectacle chasing her ex — whether he actually cheated or she imagined it.

How we built it

Built entirely on OpenArt.

Image Generation:

  • Gemini
  • Seedream

Video Generation:

  • Kling
  • Hailuo

Editing:

  • CapCut (sequencing, timing, transitions, color matching)

Workflow: Figma MoodBoard → Storyline → generate images → animate scenes → OpenART LipSync → refine → assemble → sync with audio.

Challenges we ran into

  • face consistency
  • reversed or unnatural AI movement
  • matching lighting and color between models
  • short deadline
  • balancing emotional tone (funny, chaotic, relatable)
  • maintaining a cohesive pink aesthetic

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • created a full music video in one night
  • maintained a consistent character identity
  • developed a strong pink cinematic style
  • integrated multiple AI video tools
  • built a narrative completely from scratch
  • defined a unique aesthetic: pink unhinged relationship energy

What we learned

  • how to direct AI with highly detailed prompts
  • how to fix reversed or awkward motion in editing
  • how to unify lighting and colors across scenes
  • how emotional storytelling can thrive in AI workflows
  • the value of iteration (many versions per scene)

What's next for OBSESSION

  • extend into a longer short-film style MV
  • build deeper character lore
  • sequels: “Closure (Maybe)”
  • create a tutorial explaining the full OpenArt workflow
  • experiment with lip-sync and AI voice more
  • explore darker or funnier continuation arcs

Built With

  • gemini
