On the morning of his wedding, a man thinks of his mother — who is no longer here. The hands that tied his tie. The hands that smoothed his collar. The quiet, wordless embrace before letting him go.
At the ceremony, he leaves one seat empty. Just in case. On it, a single candle and a flower.
After the vows, he turns back — and the flame flickers. No wind. No reason. But he knows.
She came.
He smiles, and the wedding continues.

ON TIME
A photorealistic CGI rabbit named WREN sits at a bus stop in an ordinary American suburb, waiting.
The bus does not come. WREN does not know this.
ON TIME is a short film about waiting — not as anxiety, but as a state of being. The kind of waiting that has gone on long enough to become invisible. The kind we carry without noticing.
The film asks a simple question: what are you waiting for? And whether it's coming at all.
ON TIME is an AI filmmaking experiment — an attempt to push generative video tools toward cinematic language. Each shot was authored through Veo 3.1 for video generation, with the character WREN developed through photorealistic CGI image prompting. The project explores what it means to direct without a camera, to write for a tool, and to find stillness inside a medium defined by motion.

Role: Concept, Direction, Prompt Design, Edit
A short AI-driven cinematic study exploring magical realism in everyday suburban spaces.
Ordinary objects — a mailbox, a bicycle, and a quiet sidewalk — gradually transform as flowers begin to bloom and spread through the environment.
The piece was directed as a sequence of small visual moments, focusing on natural light, slow camera movement, and a calm observational tone inspired by A24 and Terrence Malick.
Images were generated using Z-Image, then animated using Veo to create subtle transformations and cinematic motion.

When I first watched K/DA "POP/STARS" — the music video produced by Riot Games and Fortiche Production — I had one question: could a single creator replicate that level of 3D animated music video production using only AI tools? ARIA x VEGA is the answer to that question, or at least the attempt. The entire pipeline — character design, background environments, scene compositing, video generation, and original music — was built using AI tools alone, without a production team or 3D studio. Character sheets were created in Nanobanna as Fortiche-inspired 3D turnarounds. Scene images were composited using Ingredients mode, combining character and background references simultaneously. Video was generated via Kling 3.0 Image-to-Video, music via Suno Custom Mode, and final editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. The gap between this and a Fortiche production is still real — but the point is how much that gap has closed.
