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 favorite prompt of mine: "Use the image as the first frame and watch it transform into something unexpected."
Good Work!
So, what is ROSI?
A few cans.
Five colours.
One very simple fish.
A ridiculously large wordmark.
And hopefully proof that everyday products don’t have to look everyday.
The ridiculously large wordmark is the entire personality, tinned fish has never strutted like this. Proof that confidence is a design decision, not a budget line.
What happens when propaganda designed to erase the self gets pointed at the self instead?
Soviet propaganda spent 70 years trying to erase the individual soul in favour of the collective machine. I pointed that exact visual language at the thing it was built to suppress.
I kept flat 2–3 colour print, no gradients, no softness, ink-on-paper style, and honestly, I didn't expect it to come out this cool.
Does it give spirituality or propaganda vibes for you?
What other era and modern theme you think would be an interesting blend?
Reads more propaganda to me honestly, the flat color-blocking keeps it too graphic to feel purely spiritual even with the lotus pose. I'd love to see this same treatment turned on social media aesthetics, that curated "perfect life" feed culture feels like its own quiet kind of erasure.
