The Yokai Parade

Based on a human-written story, this AI-visualized music video shows a girl lost in another world witnessing a terrifying night parade of Japanese monsters (Yokai).

Inspiration

I was inspired by the chaotic energy of traditional "Hyakki Yagyō" (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) art. My goal was to write a human-led story: What would it feel like for a modern girl to stumble into this terrifying supernatural festival? This music video is that story, visualized using AI.

How I built it

Based on my original human-written storyline, this music video was produced using a multi-tool AI workflow.

I used Vidu and other AI animation tools to generate the core visual sequences. The music itself is a key component, guiding the fast-paced, horror-centric editing style. The story is told entirely through visuals and sound, capturing the perspective of the lost girl.

Challenges I faced

The greatest challenge was creating a sense of escalating panic and energy using only AI-generated visuals. Controlling the "AI chaos" to match the song's intense rhythm and translate my story (the girl's fear, the parade's reveal) into a clear narrative required careful shot selection and rapid editing.
