Concept

This piece is built from an inner, imagined world: liminal, pastel, dreamy, and slightly unreal. Instead of a linear story, it follows surreal dream logic, where images connect through association, texture, and mood. The goal was to translate a familiar feeling into visuals: the way a craving can pull you into a different headspace, the way a random film at night can become a portal, and for a few minutes you are somewhere else entirely.

Narrative Approach

There is no traditional beginning–middle–end. The “plot” is sensory: drifting environments, gentle transitions, and moments that feel like memory rather than explanation. The ice cream functions as a trigger, not a message. It’s less about persuasion and more about atmosphere, a soft suspension of reality.

Visual Direction

Liminal spaces with soft scale shifts and floaty movement
Pastel palette, airy lighting, and ethereal materials
Dream continuity over strict realism, but with cinematic framing
A calm, slow rhythm that feels like slipping into a daydream

Sound and Music

Sound design is treated as emotional glue: subtle textures, whooshes, and small accents that make the visuals feel tactile. The music and voiceover were designed to support the dream tone rather than narrate a clear storyline.

Production Notes

Created end-to-end in Morphic using around 2,000 credits. I used Copilot to refine concept and direction, then Canvas to animate scenes, build sound design, compose music, generate voiceover, and finalize the cut. Each shot was upscaled for a cleaner, more cinematic finish.
