I made a short AI film with @Sarah Smaili for the CapCut LA Challenge on Contra. 🦉
The story started with a TV show I loved as a kid. I wanted to bring back that feeling of a small fantasy world where anything could happen. The owl that delivers the letters is a little nod to Harry Potter.
I’ve wanted to try AI video for a long time, and it turned out to be more design work than I expected.
A few things that made the difference:
➡️ We planned the story first, then used Claude to split it into scenes
➡️ Every character got a character sheet and one fixed prompt, reused in every shot
➡️ For each shot we wrote what should happen, and also what should not
➡️ Image references next to the text worked much better than text alone
The hardest part was keeping characters looking the same from shot to shot while still matching the picture in my head. Most of that was solved before we generated anything, by planning and describing details clearly.
Big thanks to @Sarah Smaili for making this with me. Watch the journey below and tell me what you think.
Where the shadows breathe, new worlds take shape.

Your art is a little horrifying, but I have to give you credit for the creativity!
It started with one image.
A skull.
I couldn't stop looking at it. It felt like it was alive and dying at the same time.
So I kept going.
Each version felt like the same soul dying in a new color.
Then I thought… what if it actually moved?
So I took my Firefly images and brought them to life with the new Kling 4.0
No camera.
No studio.
Just one skull and a feeling I had to follow.
This is "Pigment of the Dead."
