I was watching a behind-the-scenes feature on The Lion King and got really inspired by the suspense and tension of the lion cub being chased by the hyenas. I wanted to recreate that feeling—but with my own story, characters, and a little more action.
So I created two 30-second action sequences and stitched them together into one short film. I also added the chase scene 30 second video incase one continues shot is priority, that still feels perfect.
The story follows a young tiger cub relentlessly chased through the forest by a ruthless pack of dholes. Eventually, they corner him from every direction. With nowhere left to run, the cub gathers his courage and lets out a roar… Then a real thunder follows.
What used to require professional crews, VFX artists, complex production, and millions of dollars can now start with nothing more than a prompt, and Seedance 2.5.
This is what I wanted to explore with this challenge.
Note: the short quick walkthrough is for prove of work only.

Hourfield is a 16-second 16:9 launch film for products that organise people's time: calendars, schedulers, booking and reservation apps, planners. Retype a few short lines, drop in your logo and rename the calendar's days and tiles (meetings, table bookings, classes, shifts): the week re-plans itself on screen and the film lands on your logo lockup. Our second version, Maréva, a fictional table-booking app, turns the working week into an evening of reservations on the same animation and timing.
Built end-to-end through the SVGator MCP server. The calendar that re-plans its own week, the orbit that swirls into a single dot and the lines centred by their real letter shapes (fonts measured, not eyeballed) were computed in Python and written straight into a live SVGator project as 780 editable keyframes; I directed every note and finished it in the canvas. Maréva was made the same way, on the same timeline. Everything stays a real layer: 50 live text layers, named elements (headline, logo, product-name, tagline) and one logo image animated in two moments.
Yes, there is a lot to edit: every line of the story, a whole week of calendar tiles, a palette in nine roles. A full rebrand takes longer than five minutes, and that is the honest trade: it shows how much a single SVGator file can carry, and how MCP makes a detailed, story-driven film practical to re-make, not just to watch.

Love the smooth flow and the text animation! Good luck!
One scene, from the rough visual to the final shot 👀
Made a quick breakdown of how the 3D, lighting, materials, textures, and motion came together.
This is probably my favorite kind of content to make. Just showing how the thing actually gets built.
Built something that isn’t client work for a change.
