I made “American Magic,” a cinematic talent-show short with a major twist at the end. I scripted it myself (without AI) and built the piece in Renoise using a shot-by-shot AI video workflow, consistent character design references, set design, theatrical lighting, and an important gray hat! Now I’m gonna go have a cigarette. #RenoiseChallenge

My video for the Contra × Renoise Challenge.

With this story, I wanted to express what lives inside each of us—an entire world filled with its own battles, struggles, and emotions that no one else can truly see.

Through this project, I shared a small piece of my own soul.

What kind of storm lives inside you?

AFTERLIFE is a 26.9-second cinematic dystopian short imagining a future where the Afterlife has become a commercial service. People willingly queue for the promise of eternal reunion, never realizing that the same perfect family memories sold to them are used to keep an endless industrial workforce obedient.

Every image and video clip was created in Renoise Canvas using a reference-driven workflow with AI image generation, FacePass, and AI video generation, then edited into a single cinematic short with original sound design.
