AI Film - Cinematic Storytelling
a narrative built on isolation, memory and grief, set in a world where dreams have vanished. Rather than using AI for gimmicks, the aim was to use it as part of a directed, visual storytelling process.
The project involved a full AI-first production pipeline: prompt design and visual generation, storyboard creation, asset refinement and film-grade finishing. Tools and processes were combined to produce a short film with emotional depth and visual polish.
TOOLS
Veo 3.1 • Gemini • ChatGPT • Midjourney • Nano Banana • Seedream 4.0 • Photoshop • Enhancor • ElevenLabs • Suno • DaVinci Resolve • Topaz Video AI • After Effects
In a landscape full of generic AI-generated content, the challenge was to create a film that feels human, crafted and cinematic, not just generated.
The risk: losing emotional resonance or falling into purely aesthetic experimentation.
By integrating AI tools with cinematic direction, editing, sound design and color grading, the project positions itself as a credible piece of narrative filmmaking. The Memory of Light demonstrates that AI can serve the story, not replace it.
