A cinematic AI video created as an opening sequence for a D&D campaign set in the mysterious desert world of Desertia.
Murder in Oasis.
Video was created with one promt with Seedance 2.5 model.
The story begins with a classic film countdown before revealing a character observing a caravan traveling through a transparent desert pipeline. The atmosphere suddenly shifts into a noir-inspired murder mystery: a body is discovered, lightning illuminates the crime scene, and the question appears—“Who is the Killer?”
A rapid suspect montage introduces each character with dramatic red titles before the camera unexpectedly turns toward a displeased camel—the final and most unlikely suspect. Thunder strikes, and the scene disappears into a storm of sand.
I developed the visual concept, scene direction, pacing, reference-image composition, and AI prompts, combining fantasy, detective cinema, dark humor, and vintage film aesthetics into one cohesive narrative.

VIETNAM, Y3K — FLORA Museum Challenge
For the FLORA Museum Challenge, I chose the Incense Burner with Dragon Spout, a Vietnamese artifact from the 1st–3rd century in The Met’s collection ( https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/53862 ), and reimagined it through a Y3K lens.
I wanted to connect an ancient object with a familiar image of Vietnam today: a woman riding a scooter. The dragon-shaped incense burner became a futuristic chrome vehicle, while traditional Vietnamese clothing and the conical hat were transformed into synthetic future wear.
I built the entire visual world in FLORA, from the clothing and accessories to the dragon scooter, environments, stills, and final video. Using AI as a world building tool, the project imagines how Vietnamese visual culture might evolve into another timeline while still carrying traces of its past.
Love the direction with this! The references to Vietnamese culture is so unique!

Is AI finally good enough to shoot a product demo on its own, or human touch is still needed?
I generated a 20s product demo with Seedance 2.5 in a single take providing it with one product image reference and an example video transcript (posted in the comments).
