Sons of Anarchy meets… fluffy kittens? 🏍️ My #RenoiseChallenge Submission
For my submission, I knew I wanted to create a cinematic narrative with a completely unexpected twist.
As a designer who has clocked over 100,000 km road-tripping across the country on the back of a Harley-Davidson, the gritty, leather-clad biker aesthetic is practically second nature to me. But I also have a massive soft spot for cats! 😂 So, I decided to mash up a dark, tense 1940s film noir interrogation scene with the ultimate villain: an incredibly adorable, unbothered tiny kitten.
I built this 30-second short, "Bad Boy", entirely from scratch using Renoise Canvas. Here is how I set up the workflow:
The Setup:
I mapped out a node tree to generate high-contrast, moody black-and-white stills to lock in that dramatic Sons of Anarchy vibe.
The Motion:
I brought the scenes to life using Image-to-Video nodes, carefully prompting for heavy rain, dynamic shadows from swinging lamps, and aggressive camera shakes to build the tension.
Check out the final video below, and swipe through to see a screenshot of my full node architecture and a walkthrough of the project!

Thank you! Cats rule the world. And bikers too. 😂

And since I cannot escape what I carry, I must feel it to the fullest.
I've been a copywriter for over 8 years now. This is my entry for the cinematic video challenge I made on Renoise (with no videography background) using the only thing I know best: writing.
One prompt, a few trials and a chaotic canvas later, this video was written like a scene.
The prompt was the script. The script was the feeling. The feeling became this.
Checkout the comments for the prompt, the inspiration and the BTS from its making:)
Absolute cinema, love the thought and the result. And this is how making music feels to me. You did a great job in capturing that feeling:)
