What if your oldest friend never aged, but you did?
STILL HERE is an original 57-second emotional 3D animated short about a boy and his tiny robot companion, whose friendship survives childhood adventures, teenage distance, life's struggles, family milestones, and old age.
Across decades, the boy changes. The robot remains the same. Their bond lives through one simple gesture: two gentle taps meaning, "I'm here."
I created this short film to explore how AI-assisted animation and cinematic storytelling can communicate powerful human emotions without a single spoken word.
Through expressive characters, visual continuity, carefully directed lighting, music, and CapCut editing, I wanted to create something that feels like a complete animated film in under one minute.
Because some friendships outlast time. And some hearts stay.
An exploration of art, creativity, and creative direction through the lens of AI 🌸

Created with AI. Directed by me.
A concept. A creative experiment. A vision brought to life through AI.
