Inspiration
The project was inspired by the feeling of being emotionally stuck while the world keeps changing. Fog, mannequins, and shifting labyrinths represent memory, confusion, and the search for connection
What it does
It visualizes an inner emotional journey through surreal, cinematic spaces. Each scene reflects a different stage of losing direction, seeking clarity, and finding a brief moment of grounding.
How we built it
Developed the visual world using AI-assisted video generation, combining surreal cityscapes, atmospheric fog, symbolic characters, and dynamic low-angle camera movement. Story flow and symbolism were refined through iterative prompts.
Challenges we ran into
Maintaining visual consistency across scenes, controlling camera angles, avoiding duplicate characters, and achieving realistic reflections required multiple rewrites. Balancing surrealism with narrative clarity was also a key challenge.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Created a cohesive emotional journey with a strong visual identity, successfully merging surreal imagery, symbolic characters, and modern cinematic movement into one unified experience.
What we learned
Learned how to guide AI tools toward precise framing, emotional tone, and symbolic continuity, and how to structure visual prompts to achieve reliable, repeatable results.
