The Road Less Traveled — AI Music Video
An experimental music video created as a personal creative challenge.
After being asked several times whether I could create music videos using AI, I decided to find out for myself. Rather than simply animating existing footage, I took the process further by writing and producing the original song, developing the visual narrative, designing the world, generating the imagery, directing the animation, and editing the final music video from start to finish.
The project tells the story of choosing an unconventional life in pursuit of creativity, exploration, and artistic expression. Inspired by my own experiences traveling the world and following a path driven by art rather than certainty, the song and visuals explore themes of identity, freedom, ambition, and the courage to pursue the unknown.
Using a combination of AI music generation, image generation, animation tools, lip-sync technology, and post-production editing, I created a complete audiovisual experience that blends storytelling, world-building, original music, and visual art into a cohesive narrative.
This project was not only an exploration of emerging creative tools, but also a demonstration of how AI can be used to produce original songs, cinematic visuals, and emotionally driven stories from a single creative vision.

Could video transformation become more important than video generation?
I tried Google's latest video model, Gemini Omni, using my own footage as input and asked it to transform the scene from warm lighting to a cool blue mood, and then to bright studio lighting.
As someone who loves Nano Banana, I had pretty high expectations for this.
And I have to say, I think it did a surprisingly good job.
The consistency wasn't perfect, but it managed to preserve most of the original scene while changing the mood and lighting.
Being able to explore multiple moods from the same footage could be a powerful tool for storytelling.
Sharing my process in the comments.
What's the first thing you'd try with this?
A few branding pieces I created behind the Wraith AI website redesign:
+ New app icon
+ New website illustrations
+ New visual exploration
The Midjourney illustration as a macOS wallpaper with the Ghostwriter icon sitting in the Dock is a clever way to show brand in context. That lavender field has exactly the right mood for a tool called Wraith.
AstroVibe is an interactive mystical reading experience made in Figma Make, bringing palm reading, horoscope, and tarot cards into one visual space.
The goal was to make readings feel less static and more alive: scan your palm, explore your stars, or choose the card that feels like it picked you.
