[𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧] We wanted to create a short that feels like a serious cinematic legend, but is secretly built around something much more playful. We started with the idea of two different worlds: one epic, dramatic, full of tension and mystery - and another one cute, unexpected, and almost too powerful for its size. Every frame had to build curiosity, like the viewer is following something important, while the real idea stays hidden underneath. That contrast became the heart of the project: a huge story controlled by tiny baby bosses - Maxim and Yanush (so yeah, it's just ourselves). [𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰] For this submission, we developed: • Story Concept • Short film itself • Characters with FacePass from two universes • Scene Concepts • Transfered real location (my room) into AI scene • Website presentation (will be in the comments) • P.S. and even some backstage video to demonstrate our workflow ;) [𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞] Renoise became our creative control room for the whole short. We used it to explore characters, scenes, moods, and story beats until the film started to feel like one connected universe. The Renoise Canvas using went pretty smooth, and it helped us to achieve the goal that was simple: make something visually cinematic, easy to follow, and original enough that the final feeling stays in your head after the video ends. Renoise FaceSwap - is a good feature to protect faces of a real people so we generated all content in canvas to got all assets approve. [𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬] During creating the video we tried to make each of our prompt precisly good so it match how we visualised it in the mind. It was excited to see some concepts and close-ups in the viddeo that Renoise generated itself, so Seedance also played a huge role in the art direction lol.

Let's go broski! Great video! Love the backstage though

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.

CDS almost got me a couple of times lol
