Created a cinematic AI video showcasing the possibilities of AI-powered video production, including cinematic animation, cartoon characters, anime-style characters, and photorealistic brand commercial visuals. I developed the visual concepts, generated the AI scenes, directed the visual style, edited the footage, added motion graphics, sound design, music, and final pacing to create a cohesive commercial-style video.

This is clean!

AI Concept Video Production — Reimagining The Met Art Collection

The piece I chose is the Animal-Shaped Spit Rest, a 9th–10th century carved stone work. Originally, it was used to support a spit over a fire. Today, it is part of The Met’s collection.

That shift made me think about how our relationship with art can also become utilitarian in a different way — including using it as a backdrop for a selfie or as a decorative part of an interior.

I wanted to turn this idea upside down and rethink our relationship with art. What if, instead of looking at it from the outside, we could enter it from within? In my imagined world, the people living inside the sculpture see it as something they belong to. Perhaps that’s another way of experiencing art: not as something to look at, but as something to be part of.

Thank you, FLORA, for this challenge. Working directly with art, reimagining it, and experimenting with generative AI — basically everything I love in one perfect combo.
