REPRISE — Still Playing | 3D Product Film

What makes a device worth keeping? The next thing it lets someone do.

REPRISE is a 12-second independent film about an overlooked phone finding a second life as a music player. The same device carries the story from a cool, quiet tray to a warm listening space. A close-up of the headphone connection makes the change tangible; the screen, sound and final composition reveal its new purpose.

The direction combines restrained product-style 3D rendering, original interface artwork and a clear shift in light and atmosphere. Camera movement resolves into a settled closing frame, giving the idea room to land: Still playing.

My contribution: I set the brief, creative priorities and quality standard, then directed and reviewed an AI-assisted production workflow. Blender scene construction, materials, lighting, cameras and animation were developed with AI assistance, alongside the interface, edit and technical checks. The instrumental soundtrack was generated with Runway and edited to the film.

Delivered as a 1920 × 1080 film at 24 fps, with sound and a matching poster. This is an original independent concept with a fictional device and interface, not a client commission or a demonstration of a real refurbishment process.
