A surreal animated short examining how social systems shape the way individual lives are valued.
Overview
After losing his job, the protagonist passes through death, heaven, and the memories of his own life. Each encounter exposes a different social expectation or system of value. I produced and directed the film through a hybrid generative AI and 3D workflow, maintaining narrative continuity and a coherent visual language across generated imagery, animation, and scene planning.
Focus
Narrative direction, visual continuity, symbolic imagery, and the coordination of generative image, animation, and 3D tools.
Outcome / Reflection
The project explored how generative AI can support a complete visual-storytelling pipeline while remaining subordinate to a defined narrative and art direction.
