Case 02 · Independent music release

Three minutes and seventeen seconds of anime, with no animation studio.

A music video is the hardest thing to justify on a release budget: it is a short film with a fixed delivery date and no direct revenue attached. We built this one as a generative production — storyboarded like a film, rendered like a film, but with the shoot replaced by a pipeline. The result is a continuous narrative across 27 scenes, cut to the track.

The full edit

The complete 3:17 cut. This web version carries no audio track — the visual edit is timed to the song, which is delivered separately to the artist.

Selected scenes

Eight of the twenty-seven. Continuity of character, apartment, light and colour is held across the whole film — that is the part generative video usually fails at, and the part the storyboard stage exists to solve.

How it was made

  1. 01

    Track and timeline

    The song is transcribed and timed first, so every scene has a bar range to live in and the edit is locked to the music before any image exists.

  2. 02

    Storyboard with gpt-image-2

    Twenty-seven scenes, each approved as a still frame — character design, apartment layout, palette and lighting fixed before motion.

  3. 03

    Motion with seedance-2.0

    Each approved board becomes a shot, re-rolled until the camera move and the physics match the intent. Specific shots were run through kling-v3-omni-video instead.

  4. 04

    Edit, grade, master

    Cut to the track, colour graded for a consistent look across the film, and mastered in the ratios the release needed.

What this means for a label

  • A full narrative music video without a shoot or a location budget
  • A visual language that no stock library or template can supply
  • Boards approved before render, so surprises happen on paper
  • Delivery on a release timeline rather than a production one
  • Vertical and square cuts from the same masters for social
  • Extra scenes and alternate edits without going back to camera
