Unreal Engine staged this AI short film: a nine-year-old girl must walk up a mile-high wave and sing the moon back into place.

Multi-shot sequences start as a 3D set in Blender or Unreal Engine. Camera, staging and set are locked before anything is generated, so every angle matches. The full workflow page →
A virtual ocean, a suspended wave about 2.3 km tall, a seven-ship fleet and a cast of stand-ins. Unreal made the scale, staging and camera coverage concrete before anything was generated.

FinalScale is the whole joke, so the giant, the houses and the street were sized and lit in Blender before a single frame was generated.

FinalStaged in a wide Blender layout, then framed vertically for the final. Shot size, eyelines, props and both characters' positions are set before generation. The layout also locks a camera move that is virtually impossible to get from a prompt alone: an orbit that sweeps around both characters, holds on one for a beat as he looks down, then keeps circling to reveal the other has disappeared.

FinalI write, generate, edit, grade and deliver finished AI films on my own: microdrama episodes, commercials and a running comedy series with recurring characters.
Before this, twenty years in software engineering, 3D animation and motion capture, most recently building Unreal Engine pipeline tools. The hard part of AI video isn’t one good shot. It’s the twelfth shot still remembering what the first one decided. That’s the part I build for.
