this painting started as a way to process it. the world burning in the background. me, unbothered, in my little corner with cassian and nesta and all their chaos. somehow their fictional pain makes mine feel smaller.
art and reading aren't escapism to me. they're how i stay sane. they're how i stay human.

"TERRACOTTA vs. THE VOID"
One unbroken 30-second take, no cuts, no shortcuts. A wanderer walks into a dead canyon of obelisks and root-bound ruins, sheds his robes mid-stride to reveal the warrior underneath, and burns through a swarm of Void before colliding with a god at the gates. Pure one-shot chaos, rendered frame by frame until it feels real.
Built entirely in CapCut Video Studio using Seedance 2.5, one single master prompt, one location sheet, one storyboard sheet, and matching character sheets, no manual edits, no compositing tricks. Just the model chasing the shot down to the last spark. 🔥
Here is the full master prompt: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QnNUz7CJxuv7j7jlReckDXwksMAF5TAKxP8lZA2_uec/edit?usp=sharing
I have attached the location sheet, storyboard sheet, and a single character sheet for "TERRACOTTA", other character sheet, "THE VOID" follow the same format as the "TERRACOTTA" character sheet.
I will attach a screenshot of my Capcut AI studio, as an attachment to this post, to show the process and how the video was ,made.
🎬 Created with CapCut & Seedance 2.5I created this cinematic AI video using Seedance 2.5 in CapCut, focusing on surreal visual storytelling and creative transitions. I developed the concept and generated a continuous journey that begins inside an ancient clock, moves through its intricate gears, travels through a world of giant books and a magical glowing horse, passes through surreal mechanical and fabric environments, reaches the open ocean with a mysterious ship, and finally leads a group of people toward a glowing crystal mountain. I worked on the visual direction, scene generation, camera movement, transitions, pacing, and final editing in CapCut. The goal was to show how AI can turn imagination into a connected cinematic experience, with the journey symbolizing time, exploration, imagination, perseverance, and the pursuit of dreams.
I built Part One of BLOOD OF THE FIRSTBORN, a photorealistic cinematic AI film following three siblings and their father’s longtime business partner through a 30-day inheritance test. The story explores family, legacy, loyalty, responsibility, and what it truly means to understand what someone built. I created it with consistent characters, realistic Nigerian/African environments, natural dialogue, bright documentary-style cinematography, and emotional visual storytelling. I wanted to make the story feel like a real film rather than an AI-generated video.
