One-take cinematic AI film — Istanbul from a seagull's point of view.

This is a seagull's flight through Istanbul, from a rooftop over the old city straight to a passenger ferry crossing the Bosphorus, without any cuts or transitions. I wanted to show the city the way it actually feels to live in it — not the postcard version, but the daily rhythm of ferries, simit, and the seagulls that follow both.

As the bird moves from the rooftops down toward the water, the city shifts with it — quiet narrow streets give way to the open Bosphorus, ferries, and the small, familiar ritual every local knows: someone on deck breaks off a piece of simit, and within seconds a seagull is there.

Animated in Seedance 2.5.

If you're visiting Istanbul, this is my real advice: grab a simit, get on a ferry, and feed the seagulls. Skip the guidebook moment — this is the one that actually feels like the city.
