“BROKEN SUMMER”
A 1990s-inspired Japanese anime VHS trailer created with AI tools and a lot of passion for old-school storytelling.
I wanted to recreate the emotional atmosphere of classic anime dramas:
rainy Tokyo nights, loneliness, love, failure, dreams, and rebuilding yourself after losing everything.
This project was heavily inspired by the feeling of 90s anime cinematography, hand-drawn cel animation aesthetics, VHS textures, and realistic human emotion.
Created independently using AI-assisted production workflows:
story development
cinematic direction
anime visual generation
soundtrack integration
trailer editing

In a world where not everyone feels free to talk about their emotions, Dream Generator AI World gives feelings a voice. Users can simply enter what they feel—without needing to explain it—and the system transforms those emotions into cinematic dream worlds.
Through a node-based AI canvas, each agent interprets emotion, builds surreal environments, and generates visuals, characters, and video sequences that reflect the user’s inner state. Every output is unique, personal, and shaped entirely by how the user feels in that moment.
This project turns emotion into experience—creating a safe space where what cannot be said is still fully expressed through AI-generated
this is such a cool concept!
ARRAKIS RISING
ARRAKIS RISING" is a 15-second cinematic exploration of large-scale industrial survival. 🦾 This project demonstrates a professional concept-to-final-render pipeline, focusing on tactile textures, 70mm IMAX scale, and grounded cinematography. It solves the problem of visual consistency in AI filmmaking by using a node-based architectural approach. 🛰️
Process Steps
Directorial Bible (Agent Node): 🧠 Utilized a Custom Text Agent to define the visual DNA—anamorphic lens properties, desaturated "Solar-Noir" colors, and specific sand physics.
Storyboarding (Image Node): 🖼️ Generated a 2x2 master grid in GPT Image 2. This locked in character consistency (pilot goggles) and mechanical geometry before moving to motion.
Cinematic Simulation (Video Node): 🎬 Connected the grid as a Reference Image into Seedance 2.0. I used a scripted motion prompt to simulate 15s of motion with realistic sand weight and camera pans.
Audio & Mastering (Audio/Stitch Nodes): 🔊 Synced a custom industrial-orchestral score to the harvester's mechanical ignitions for a complete trailer experience.
💬 Feedback on Melius
Melius's node-based canvas is a paradigm shift for creative producers. ⚡ Wiring conceptual logic from an Agent into Image and Video reference nodes provides a professional production pipeline that ensures strict consistency across shots. Seedance 2.0’s handling of complex environmental physics is a game-changer for high-end cinematic AI. It allows the user to act as a Director, not just a prompter. 🎞️✨
dang this is impressive!
An AI-powered creative workflow that transforms hand-drawn sketches into cinematic story videos👾
The system analyses the drawing ✍️, understands 🧠 the visual context 👁️ and intent, generates a storyline, creates animated cinematic scenes, and automatically adds narration, transitions, and music to produce a complete short film from a simple sketch ☀️
