What if you could walk through a door and live your dream life?
I made a commercial for Dreamdoor, a fictional door you walk through to live your dream life, built entirely on Melius for the Melius AI Creative Challenge.
Features 13 shots. One theatrical presenter. Five dream lives. One hippo.
How I Built It:
Node types used: Text, Image, Video and Audio, with Stitch and Magic Resize for assembly and output. Melius agent Mel was involved throughout the entire production process.
Canvas flows left to right across five columns:
Scene Briefs, References, Keyframes, Working Clips, Final Outputs.
The presenter and corridor environment were locked as master reference nodes, ensuring the character and setting remained consistent across every shot.
Feedback:
Melius is genuinely a powerful platform, the full production pipeline from concept to output in one canvas is unlike anything else. One thing worth improving, when Mel requests credit approval, it doesn't always specify exactly what the credits will be used for. Knowing the specific generation before approving would make the workflow much more intentional and reduce unnecessary credit spend.

The Eternal Vow: A Continuous Cinematic Twist
https://youtu.be/ZCguQ9lBSRc
Inspired by the raw cinematic scale of ancient epics, this 15-second film explores the power of history and imagination. I engineered a single continuous prompt in Renoise Canvas to seamlessly morph a high-stakes mythological battle into a quiet modern museum space, guaranteeing flawless character consistency. The entire narrative flips on a dime, subverting expectations to deliver a tasteful, unexpected visual twist.

I actually discovered this on my X feed and created a Contra account just to watch it. The twist was absolutely worth it. Great work! Abhi
Cat Distribution System is really set up by the cats.
With the Renoise challenge I racked my brain for a "plot twist" and decided to do a heart warming everyday concept versus going all apocalyptic/dramatic.
My fun take on a species of animals who strategically domesticated themselves twice because of human produced food and treats.
I wrote out the overall concept and four scenes myself. Generated prompts for each scene, with the prompt being used for the video. Generated some images to possibly use, and used one as the start image for the video.
I used the Kling model for the videos. It usually does well but this challenge and a previous challenge there were some AI hiccups. I had to try and minimize with editing. Also had to somehow add the watermark. Editing was done in Canva.
