TITLE:- RALPH SPOONS
I'll let you guys decide what to make of it..
Built for the RENOISE CHALLENGE using renoise.ai inculcating the use of Renoise Canvas and FacePass features primarily. Used the Image Assets for referencing throughout .
Credits spent:- 870 Leftover:- 130
I had to fine tune each clip again to make up for the inconsistencies which was experimental and fun.
Final editing done in Clipchamp.
It is a SOLO project from me , Prasun.
I have attached the workflow walkthrough for you guys to see along with the final output. I HAD A BALL working on this and am really excited to see what others made . Cheers!

I read it as: the man is trying to protect the child, but ends up looking guilty, which makes the message feel like “nothing is really what it seems.” The spoon connection could be “don’t swallow everything you see at first glance.” 🤔
Still thinking about the sandwich though 😄

The dust behind a motorcycle on a dirt road is the same dust that drifts across Mars and maybe the same dust we're all made of.
I've never edited a video in my life. I build software for a living. But I found Renoise, saw this challenge, and as someone who can't resist one, I treated it the only way I knew how: as a problem to solve, shot by shot. 17 scenes, one storyboard, a lot of trial and error from a cornfield on Earth to the red plains of Mars.
I didn't know how to make a film. So I just kept asking: what does this feel like? And chased that frame by frame.
🔊 Sound on, and stay until the end it goes somewhere you won't expect. Check the comments for the BTS and the workflow :)
For anyone curious how this trailer was made from scratch, I recorded a full walkthrough of the process 🎬
I show everything: from generating the scenes in Renoise Canvas, through the models and options, all the way to the final edit in DaVinci Resolve. And yeah I had zero...
I've been developing The Echo Keeper for several months — a Dune-inspired speculative fiction about Dorian, a solitary man with the ability to heal geological damage through acoustic frequencies, and Elara, the researcher who tracks him down.
When the Renoise Challenge dropped, it felt like the perfect opportunity to make a proper trailer for this world I've been building.
OVERVIEW
For this submission I developed:
- Cinematic reference frames created during pre-production as visual development assets
- Renoise Canvas generations using Seedance 2.0 with pre-production frames as first-frame references
- Two pure text-to-video generations for the instrument reveal and final healing landscape
- Original score composed in Logic Pro X
- Full edit assembled in Final Cut Pro
HOW I USED RENOISE
Renoise Canvas became the bridge between my visual development work and a living breathing trailer. I used image-to-video with pre-production frames as first-frame anchors, directing atmospheric motion — figure movement, mist, geological transformation — through carefully engineered prompts rather than camera moves. The goal was always to make the AI video feel inhabited rather than generated.
The interpolation between the opening forest road and the cliff edge establishing shot was the most interesting technical challenge — letting Seedance build the transition between two environments while maintaining cinematic continuity.
MY FINAL THOUGHTS
The score does as much storytelling as the visuals. The twist lands musically before it lands visually — the harmonic world opens up the moment Dorian's instrument appears on screen. That relationship between sound and image is central to what The Echo Keeper is about, so it felt right that the trailer worked the same way.
The Echo Keeper full series is in production stage at the moment. Nine chapters, original score, releasing on YouTube later this year.
