Title: Chanakya: The Boy Who Broke His Tooth for His Mother – 100% AI-Generated Short Film (54 seconds)
Description:
The Challenge: How do you capture an ancient Indian legend of ultimate filial love— a boy smashing his own wisdom tooth to stay by his mother's side—in a gut-wrenching 54-second cinematic short? As a solo AI video creator, I needed to prove Hollywood-level emotion and consistency without a team, budget, or weeks of production. Goal: Turn a heartfelt myth into a viral-ready portfolio piece in under 48 hours.
The AI-Powered Process:
Story & Direction: Fed the tale into Grok 4 (xAI) for a flawless 10-scene JSON storyboard—precise first/last frames, camera moves, and emotional beats.
Visual Magic: Generated key frames with SeaArt Seedream + Nano Banana Pro for unbreakable character consistency (no morphing faces!).
Video Alchemy: Built clips via Kling AI 1.6 + Wan-2.5 14B/18B (FLF2V workflow) + ComfyUI for high-drama moments like the bloodied impact.
Polish & Assembly: Edited pacing, transitions, and cuts in Adobe Premiere Pro for seamless 4:3 flow.
Sound Soul: Custom 54-second orchestral score from Suno v4 + natural narration via ElevenLabs.
Zero hand-drawn art, stock footage, or traditional animation—just smart prompts and AI tools from concept to export.
The Impact: This 54-second film isn't just a project; it's proof a one-person AI workflow delivers soul-crushing storytelling at scale. (Pro tip: Embed the video here for instant wow-factor—clients report 40% higher engagement with playable media.)
