THE THREAD | AI Animated Short Film created with Seedance 2.0 via CapCut is out.
When the thread of life is cut…
A machine of war is sewn.
A symbolic knitted world.
A small fawn.
A severed thread.
A war machine.
THE THREAD is an AI animated short film set in a symbolic knitted world where every creature is made of thread.
In this world, thread is not fabric — it is life.
A small fawn follows a glowing butterfly and is pulled away from the safety of its family. What begins as a quiet moment of wonder slowly reveals a darker system: a world where life is cut, stolen, and sewn into a machine of war.
Created with artificial intelligence using Seedance 2.0 via CapCut CPP, THE THREAD uses a handcrafted knitted visual language to explore innocence, nature, violence, and the hidden cost behind machines of destruction.
No real animals were filmed, used, harmed, or endangered in the making of this film.
May we choose a world with:
More peace,
More safety,
And no more wars.

DEAR MAMA — Multilingual Cinematic AI Music Video
English • French • Portuguese • Spanish • Turkish
Created by Mohamed Beriky (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohamedberiky/) using Seedance 2.0 via CapCut CPP
DEAR MAMA is a multilingual cinematic AI music video released in five languages, reflecting on motherhood, memory, emotional conflict, and the gratitude we often understand too late. Told through intimate visual fragments, the film follows a daughter remembering the warmth, sacrifice, patience, and emotional presence of her mother across different stages of life. Childhood care, illness, study, tenderness, misunderstanding, distance, and reconciliation return as memories shaped by love. Rather than presenting motherhood as perfect or simple, the film explores its emotional complexity: the moments of comfort, the moments of tension, and the late realization that a mother’s place cannot truly be replaced. Created as part of a multilingual music video project in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish, DEAR MAMA uses poetic imagery and emotional visual storytelling to honor every mother — and the invisible love that is often fully understood only with time.
To every mother…
No one could ever take your place.

BREAK FREE — Cinematic AI Music Video
Created by Mohamed Beriky (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohamedberiky/) using Seedance 2.0 via CapCut CPP
BREAK FREE is a cinematic AI music video about escape, identity, and spiritual renewal. The story follows a homeless man sitting on İstiklal Avenue in Istanbul, holding a small cup as people pass him by. A luxurious Mercedes arrives, and a wealthy, sharply dressed version of the same man steps out with his guards. This rich figure drops a coin into the homeless man’s cup, like a ghost from his past trying to keep him trapped where he is. The homeless man looks at him, then runs. A symbolic chase begins through the city as he tries to break free from the illusion, corruption, and old self that once controlled him. His journey leads him through movement, transformation, grooming, new clothes, and finally prayer inside a mosque. In the end, the rich figure cannot find him. BREAK FREE is a visual story of redemption: freedom begins when a man refuses to remain a prisoner of who he used to be.

AVIÃO (PLANE) — CapCut Video Studio Challenge Top 4 Winner Short film | Created by Mohamed Beriky (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohamedberiky/) using Seedance 2.0 via CapCut CPP
AVIÃO (PLANE) is a short drama about perception, care, and delayed understanding. Set over the course of a single pressured morning in São Paulo, AVIÃO follows a father as he tries to take his autistic son to school while already running late for work. The day begins at home, where the routine unfolds through small acts of care and quiet exhaustion: drying wet hair, getting the child dressed, dressing him again after he undresses, searching for missing shoes, and absorbing the repetitions of a familiar morning rhythm. Nothing is explained directly, yet the emotional weight of care is already visible.
At the office, the father’s repeated lateness has become known. Colleagues notice his absence and speak about it in fragments, revealing a social world that sees the delay but not the burden behind it. On the road, the child sees a graffiti image of a plane painted on a wall and quietly repeats one word: “plane.” The father dismisses it and reduces the morning to function alone: school, and only school. Later, trapped in traffic, the boy says the word again. This time, with no obvious image to justify it, the father hesitates — and experiences a sudden inner rupture in the form of a passenger airplane crashing violently onto the highway before him. The moment is not treated as literal spectacle, but as the catastrophic shape taken by delayed understanding inside the father’s perception.
After this rupture, the film returns to the same earlier moment, but with a decisive difference. When the child says “plane” again, the father responds differently: after school, they will go see the plane. The child smiles. In parallel, the office context is completed, and we learn that the father’s repeated lateness is always tied to the same reason — his son, and the responsibilities of care that continue beyond school, including a session with an autism specialist.
In the final sequence, the car stops in front of the graffiti wall. From the child’s point of view, the painted plane gently lifts and glides across the wall with softness and wonder. The father is no longer the center of the film’s vision.
Rather than explaining autism through direct exposition, AVIÃO (PLANE) approaches it through perception, repetition, silence, and delayed recognition. Its structure is built on fragments, returns, and re-reading, allowing the audience, like the father, to move through partial understanding before arriving at a deeper emotional truth. In this sense, the film’s form does not simply carry its subject — it enacts it.

Acabou (It’s over)
— A Micro film (in Portuguese) under 1 minute
The core message:
Sometimes, it's not the love that ends.
It's just the pain that speaks louder.
And sometimes, staying is what saves a family.
This micro film is built around a fragile narrative pivot:
a moment of divorce charged with emotion,
a line of meaning placed on a black screen between the scenes,
and then a visual movement toward family reunion.
Through dialogue, performance, framing, silence, and timing, Seedance 2.0 (via CapCut CPP) used to produce this film.

This video is a showcase of “Deus é Maior”, a cinematic music video developed as a director-led experiment using Seedance 2.0 through CapCut CPP access.
This music video was not approached as content generation, but as a controlled filmmaking process:
• Character continuity across multiple scenes
• Camera movement with emotional intention
• Symbolic narrative structure
• Visual rhythm and pacing under compression
• Transitions between psychological and physical spaces
• A unified cinematic identity across different environments
The goal was simple:
To see whether AI can be directed — not just prompted.
The result is not just a music video, but a cinematic reflection on the modern human condition — on noise, distraction, false centers of meaning, and the search for clarity.
