Living Legends - Chronicles of Tuscany is a multi-day automotive mystery rally where participants are guided only by a map, clues and riddles. Along the way, participants engage in interactive challenges & quests, gather points and attend a charity gala. The team with the most points at the end of the rally is crowned champion and wins the Living Legends Trophy.
It's built as a serialized cultural format. Each running takes a culturally rich territory and authors a rally inside it: twelve teams, sealed daily envelopes, a narrative mystery to solve, a ceramic trophy hand-thrown for each edition's winner.
The trailer positions Living Legends as if it were a real cultural format launching this autumn: a streaming-grade announcement for a property that exists only as an authored Capsule bible. The submission demonstrates what Melius makes possible: a single creative can author an entire cultural world: script, image, motion, voice, music, edit - all in a single afternoon, with the agent canvas handling the orchestration.
Built end-to-end in @Melius . One night. One canvas.

I really love how it all came out. I'm thinking now actually organizing this event...so the cash prize will be a big incentive 💯
Thank you for the opportunity! 🤘
My Process on Melius:
I started defining the aesthetics by offering references and cultural anchors from the real world.
1. Generated 12 storyboard images in Melius, establishing the visual world using image generation across multiple models routed by Mel.
2. Wrote a...
Feedback on Melius:
What worked best for me was the canvas itself. Being able to see the whole workflow node by node; image generation feeding into image-to-video, audio running in parallel - made a complex multimodal build feel manageable rather than chaotic.
The agent routing...

What if the worst part of a creative project isn't the design, it's the brief that started it?
I built Dead Brief Resurrector on Melius — a workflow that takes a vague, broken client brief and turns it into a structured actionable direction, then immediately generates visual explorations from it. No manual prompting between steps. One input, full creative direction out.
The test brief I fed it:
"We need some nice pictures for our new luxury skincare line. It should look expensive and natural. Maybe some plants? Something that feels high-end but also very organic."
That's a real brief. Designers receive versions of this every week.
What the workflow did with it, 12 nodes, fully autonomous:
Ingested the vague brief as raw input
Ran a brief autopsy — identified every missing element: no audience, no tone, no visual direction, no KPIs
Resurrected it into a full structured brief: target audience (conscious luxury consumers), tone (serene, sophisticated, grounded), brand name (Gaia Essence), visual direction (Organic & Earthy Luxury)
Generated a 4-image moodboard across ingredients, environment, textures, and human element
Generated 3 distinct visual concept explorations: Brutalist Zen, Botanical Alchemy, and Terracotta Minimalism
My Melius experience:
The agent-first approach genuinely changes how you work. Instead of building nodes manually, you brief Mel the way you'd brief a creative director — in plain language — and it lays the canvas out for you. Every prompt is editable at the node level, so you can steer without rebuilding. The image quality surprised me, especially on the Botanical Alchemy concept. Where it still needs work: the agent occasionally needs explicit approval gates to chain text outputs into image nodes correctly — a small friction point in an otherwise smooth workflow.
Try the workflow yourself:

What brief would you feed it?
The detail and the precision is there, nice work
I created LUMEN ECHO because of my Mother In-law, who slowly began losing his memories to dementia.
Watching her forget names, conversations, and where he placed meaningful objects was heartbreaking. One day, while holding old family photos, she quietly said:
“I wish memories could stay attached to the things that matter.”
That moment stayed with me.
So I imagined a device that could help people reconnect with memories through the objects tied to them, not just to find lost things, but to preserve moments, emotions, and pieces of who they are.
That idea became LUMEN ECHO, a device I truly wish existed for him.
Steps i used for the project:
I used Nano Banana Pro to design both the product concept and the cinematic character contact sheet. The environmental and product-focused scenes were animated using Seedance 2.0, while all character-driven sequences were created with Veo 3.1 to achieve more lifelike motion and emotional storytelling. Finally, every scene was composited, color-graded, and professionally edited in DaVinci Resolve, bringing all the individual shots together into a polished cinematic advertisement.
Feedback on My experience using Melius:
Melius had a very different workflow compared to other tools I’ve used, which made the process surprisingly enjoyable and engaging to learn. Exploring how to navigate the platform and refine prompts to achieve the best possible results felt both creative and rewarding. One challenge I encountered was generating highly realistic human faces with Seedance 2.0, which is why I relied on Veo 3.1 for certain character-focused scenes. Aside from that, the overall experience was smooth, inspiring, and genuinely exciting from start to finish.

-= Melius Time Machine =-
In the year 8080, a young man lives in a perfect futuristic world filled with neon towers, holograms, and advanced technology. Yet behind all that progress, his life feels empty and repetitive. One night, a holographic advertisement appears in his apartment: “Melius Time Machine — Choose Any Era.” Curiosity pulls him out of his boredom, and he decides to visit the mysterious time machine facility.
At the Melius Time Machine facility, he discovers a realistic elevator-shaped time machine made of glass, metal, blue light rings, and advanced control panels. Inside the elevator, he sees multiple era options: past decades, future destinations, the Dinosaur Era, and Mars Colony. After a moment of hesitation, he presses “Dinosaur Era.” The machine activates, energy builds, and his first journey through time begins.
The elevator doors open into a vast prehistoric world filled with giant forests, waterfalls, flying pterosaurs, and dinosaurs moving across the valley. He is amazed at first, but wonder quickly turns into fear when a predator appears and roars in the distance. He rushes back into the elevator and chooses a new destination: Mars Colony. In an instant, the machine jumps forward again, opening onto a red-orange Martian landscape filled with domes, towers, rovers, drifting dust, and Earth visible in the sky. What began as boredom becomes a journey of awe, fear, and inspiration.
