"The Interview", a 60 second

"The Interview", a 60 second psychological drama trailer about a job interview that slowly turns into an interrogation about one rainy night four years ago.

I wanted the whole thing to feel like a real scene shot on set, not a collection of separate AI shots. It’s just two characters in one glass office room, so all the tension had to come from performance, framing and silence.

I built consistent characters and kept the same office across every shot. Then I planned the coverage the way you would on a real shoot: a wide through the glass, singles, over-the-shoulders, and small inserts like the pen on the notepad, the file sliding across the table and the watch.

The dialogue is the story. It starts with ordinary questions like “Do you drive?” Then she lets slip “It was raining,” and by the end he’s pushing her to “Say it out loud once.”

My main focus was subtle acting. His face gives nothing away while her composure slowly cracks into tears. I also wanted a clean, cool grade with no grain and none of the yellow tint AI usually leaves behind, so it feels shot rather than generated.

I made the characters and frames in GPT Image and Nano Banana, animated them with Veo, voiced them with ElevenLabs, and cut everything together in the edit.
