My most artistic project: an AI short film made to enter the Higgsfield film festival. A journey inward, told without a single word.

Full film · 5:09 · no dialogue

No words, only images

The film is a symbolic, inner journey. I wanted to tell something this complex without using any language at all — only a visual one — so that anyone, anywhere in the world, can watch it and take away what it is trying to say.

Drawn by hand first

Something this symbolic is very hard to visualise, so the storyboard was drawn by hand, the traditional way, before a single image was generated.

Many styles, one character

I tried many different styles before settling on the look of the film, and built character sheets so the baby, the boy, the man and even the robot stay recognisable from shot to shot.

Character sheets

Every angle and expression was worked out before animating.

First frame, last frame

Background details were built separately, and the shots were shaped with first-frame and last-frame images so each one flows into the next.

In all, the film took about 8,000 Higgsfield credits.
