This is a 3-minute vertical

This is a 3-minute vertical animated short in a warm, Pixar-inspired 3D style, made entirely with AI image and video tools. It tells the story of a mother and daughter in the weeks before the daughter moves abroad for a new job. They meet for Saturday coffee, pick outfits together, and the daughter shares her news. The mother is proud but quietly heartbroken, and the film ends with the two of them packing her suitcase together.

We wrote an emotional, narration-driven script structured for short-form retention, then designed two consistent lead characters: a gray-haired mother and her dark-haired daughter. Their faces, hair, outfits and body proportions stay identical across more than 60 shots. We built six locations: a suburban street, the family home, a café, a bedroom, a kitchen and a living room. Each has fixed lighting and layout, so the world stays consistent from scene to scene.

Every shot started as an approved keyframe and was then animated with leading AI video models such as Seedance, Kling and MiniMax. Expressions and gestures were directed shot by shot, from tears and small smiles to hands held across the kitchen table. Warm golden-hour lighting holds the whole film together. In post-production we added voice-over and music, timed every cut to the narration, and finished with word-by-word animated captions.

The final video is a 3:20 vertical MP4 at 1080p, ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook.
