A little behind the scenes from my Seedance 2.5 Challenge entry 👀
These are some of the characters and environments I created before bringing everything together in the final one take sequence.
A lot of experimenting, iterations, and failed generations went into keeping the visual style and story consistent throughout the shot.
If you enjoyed the final video, I’d really appreciate your support on my submission! ❤️
I created The Red Umbrella, a 30 second emotional anime short about loneliness, kindness, and a connection that quietly travels across generations.

Amazing character consistency and beautiful environment design😍
Cool!
So nice 👍
Nice...
Wow
The character and environment development really show the amount of iteration behind the final piece. The consistency across the scenes is impressive.
Nice presentation
Thank you.

Attention, Contra people🚨
Only proceed if you're in the mood for a laugh😅
A while ago, I was working with a client who needed lots of video ads every month. And by "lots," I mean 36 videos, 3 hooks each, 2 formats.
That's 216 files. Every. Single. Month.
Sounds like a lot, but we were ready.
THEN... things got interesting.
40 videos. 5 hooks each. 3 formats. Yep, SIX HUNDRED.
In 2 weeks.
And what did we tell the client? "Pff... two weeks? Easy."
Turns out, I was a little too optimistic🙃
This took us over a month. Not exactly our proudest moment.
But hey, that little disaster pushed us to rethink our workflow.
And the system we built? It eventually allowed us to deliver
150 files in just 7 calendar days.
Have you ever underestimated a project's timeline and regretted it later?

The one I experienced was when a client gave me a project and provided a reference she wanted me to use as inspiration to build her website. I quoted her 10-14 days, but she said she needed it done in 5 days. I accepted it because I was desperate to get the project and I needed...
I directed the look.
An AI editing agent built the effect. ✨
Meet “Hallucination”
A clean cinematic sequence transformed with RGB distortion, glowing highlights, shifting colors, and layered text.
I described the effect in invideo Editor, reviewed the result, and refined the look and text timing.

Best scene effect:
not really sure about what it is called as
but the Agent described it as:
One thermal colour flash and a ripple across his face, colour that cycles through thermal palettes and snaps on the beat, liquid warp that melts faces.
