OVERWATCH: AI Action Thriller Short Film

OVERWATCH is a Lagos action thriller I wrote, designed and made with AI. A sniper called Hawk has one job: keep a journalist alive long enough to get the truth out. The man hunting them is the one who trained him.

Make an AI film that feels like a real cinema release, not typical AI content: the same faces in every shot, planned camera work and full sound design.

Four main characters, a car chase, gunfights and a sniper duel across four locations (rooftop nest, street, bridge and water tower). AI video models drift: faces, cars and places change between shots unless you control them.

Built the city and every camera move in Blender first, so each shot has a planned angle and path.

Locked every character on a reference sheet and every location on a master plate.

Generated shot by shot with Seedance, then upscaled the takes I kept.

Edited it like a studio trailer: impact frames on every big hit, 4-layer sound design (city ambience, foley, gunshots with echo tails, score) and title cards.
