Made a 30-second scene in just one continuous shot. My main goal was to make the acting, body language, and lighting feel completely real.
Hope the funny timing landed under all that pressure! Would love to hear what you think.
Really impressive 🤝🤝🤝
This needs to hit theater asap, id pay 😊
I must say, this is really impressive work. I am really curious to know how you were able to achieve this.
The lighting on the close-up is insane. You can feel the tension without a single word. One continuous shot is such a hard constraint to pull off and this looks effortless.
Which AI tool did you use?
Pulling off convincing acting and humor under the pressure of a one-take scene is no small feat. The lighting really anchored the mood excited to see what you build next!
Great work.
Really good

MAKE IT MOVE.
A 28-second motion piece about what happens to an idea once it starts moving.
It opens on a single word, IDEA., sitting still. Then the letters stretch, round off and turn into shapes. The dot drops out, bounces across a grid and swells into a disc. The disc becomes liquid glass and settles into the mark of a fictional brand, PULSE. From there it turns into a poster, a package and an app screen, before breaking apart and coming back as one line of type.
Every scene inherits something from the one before. The dot that ends the first word is the same dot that closes the title at the end.
Made for portfolio. Kinetic type, shape morphing, liquid glass, brand application and an original score at 120 bpm, all built in code.
Your idea. My motion. Let’s make something move.
Making the orange dot from IDEA. the hero that bounces and swells into a disc is a smart way to carry the whole piece. Did you use the same easing for the letters and the dot?

A-CAM: the on-set monitor skin
I direct films with AI as a camera, not a generator, so I designed A-CAM as the monitor in video village: the screen you watch a take on while it rolls.
Everything comes from a cinema camera's monitor. The REC light moves from STBY to REC, HOLD and CUT as you play and pause. The timecode is frame-accurate SMPTE, and tapping it shows the time remaining.
The seek bar is marked like film edge code and has a playhead flag, and the volume control is an LED meter. A slate opens the film and "That's a wrap" closes it, and the take number goes up each time you replay.
The monitor menu has working tools: 2.39, 1.85, 4:5 and 9:16 frame lines, plus Log, Mono and ARRI-style false-color views.
Accessibility was part of the design from the start. Solid status bars keep text readable over any footage, the amber focus ring has a black halo, touch targets are 44 px, and the layout adapts to the player's own width.
Every control works from the keyboard, and G and V switch frame lines and views. With reduced motion turned on, nothing blinks, slides or claps.
Built from scratch on Video.js v10 (@videojs/html 10.3) UI components, with my own markup, CSS and icons, plus one small custom element for the monitor behavior.
The film playing is PARIS, my own AI film, hosted on Mux.
The REC light is a lovely detail.
