I built a full cinematic AI short film ad in an afternoon using @MeliusAI š¬
The story: A dev spending $2,100/month on AI tools... until his friend literally breaks through a wall to save him š
How I built it on Melius:
ā GPT Image 2 to design the room + characters
ā Storyboarded all 16 frames with the Melius agent
ā SeeDance 2.0 to generate each 15s video segment
ā Everything connected node by node on one canvas
The ad is for my site studentperks.fun
70+ paid tools completely free for students
Cursor Pro, GitHub, Figma & more
All $0 with a student ID
This is my entry for the MeliusAI creative challenge š

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 feelāwithout needing to explain itāand 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 userās inner state. Every output is unique, personal, and shaped entirely by how the user feels in that moment.
This project turns emotion into experienceācreating 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. š¦¾ 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. š°ļø
Process Steps
Directorial Bible (Agent Node): š§ Utilized a Custom Text Agent to define the visual DNAāanamorphic lens properties, desaturated "Solar-Noir" colors, and specific sand physics.
Storyboarding (Image Node): š¼ļø 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): š¬ 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): š Synced a custom industrial-orchestral score to the harvester's mechanical ignitions for a complete trailer experience.
š¬ Feedback on Melius
Melius's node-based canvas is a paradigm shift for creative producers. ā” Wiring conceptual logic from an Agent into Image and Video reference nodes provides a professional production pipeline that ensures strict consistency across shots. Seedance 2.0ās 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. šļøāØ
dang this is impressive!
