A reimagined story of Marie, the grown heroine of Hoffmann’s Nutcracker, who still believes in miracles. During the Christmas holidays, my son and I listened to The Nutcracker and noticed how differently adults and children experience the same fairy tale. The short video transforms iconic scenes into a visual journey, weaving motifs from the German Christmas song Silent Night into the original music and symbolism. Project highlights: concept and visual narrative; AI-generated images and video with consistent characters and interiors; original music inspired by Silent Night.
