The Time Auction

The Time Auction is a 30-second cinematic short that imagines a future where the world's wealthiest people no longer collect priceless art,they bid on years of life.

I built the entire project in Renoise, starting in Canvas to map out the story, scenes, characters, environments, and props before generating a single frame. I used Seedance 2.0 to create the cinematic visuals and FacePass to maintain consistent character identities across multiple scenes, allowing the story to feel cohesive from beginning to end.

Rather than focusing only on visual spectacle, my goal was to tell a complete story with a beginning, a twist, and an ending that encourages viewers to rethink the final frame.

"A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart." -Goethe

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:)

One Day is a cinematic short film about the dreams we keep postponing, told through the countdown of a luxury watch that leads to an unexpected ending. I created the entire film in Renoise using Canvas to storyboard the narrative, FacePass for character consistency, and image-to-video generation to bring each scene to life.
