Inspiration

WYTKM was born from a question: “Can something non-human long to be seen?” I wanted to explore the emotional boundary between human and machine — how the desire for recognition, love, and self-expression transcends biological limits. The image of a robot yearning to become a ballet dancer came to me as a metaphor for creative consciousness — a being designed for precision trying to find poetry in imperfection.

What it does

WYTKM (Want You To Know Me) is an AI-generated music video created for a human-made song written and performed by singer-songwriter Natti Vogel, from his upcoming album Nomi Abadi. Directed and produced by Yun FNTSY, the video tells the story of a robot who longs to be known — not as a machine, but as a ballet dancer. It explores the universal human desire to be seen and understood, extending that longing beyond the limits of flesh, identity, and code. Through movement, color, and sound, the robot’s dance becomes both an act of rebellion and a love letter to consciousness itself.

How we built it

The WYTKM (Want You To Know Me) music video was built as a creative dialogue between human artistry and machine imagination.

The song — written and performed by Natti Vogel — anchors the project in human emotion, voice, and storytelling. From that foundation, Yun FNTSY used a range of AI filmmaking tools to visualize the song’s longing for recognition and identity.

Each scene was generated through an iterative process using NanoBanana, Kling 2.5, Veo3.1 and OpenArt , guided by hand-crafted prompts and choreography references inspired by classical ballet. The goal was to translate Natti’s emotional performance into a visual language that felt equally expressive and alive.

The post-production phase involved iMovie for editing and color grading, synchronizing AI-generated motion with musical rhythm and lyrical pacing.

The result is an immersive hybrid work — a human song interpreted by artificial vision — where technology doesn’t replace emotion, but amplifies it.

Challenges we ran into

Creating WYTKM (Want You To Know Me) as a solo artist was both liberating and demanding — every frame, prompt, and edit had to balance emotion and precision. The hardest part was translating human feeling into AI language. Natti Vogel’s voice carries vulnerability and desire — emotions that are difficult to express through algorithms. Each prompt became a kind of choreography, teaching the AI to feel rather than just render. Maintaining visual consistency across generations and fixing technical issues like motion glitches, lighting mismatches, and timing syncs required endless iteration and manual editing. Working alone meant being director, animator, and colorist all at once — guiding machine output and human emotion toward one shared vision.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a seamless collaboration between a human-made song and an AI-generated film. Establishing a new hybrid aesthetic that honors human artistry while expanding its visual reach through AI. Using AI as a creative interpreter, not a replacement — amplifying Natti Vogel’s emotional storytelling through cinematic form.

What we learned

Ultimately, I learned that AI filmmaking isn’t automation, but an act of empathy, patience, and persistence — shaping something soulful from code and chaos.

What's next for WYTKM-Music Video

Submitting to AI film festivals and art-tech showcases worldwide. Collaborating with motion-capture dancers to translate the robot’s digital ballet into a live performance. Publishing a “Making of WYTKM” feature to document how a human song found its reflection in an AI-created world.
