AI trailer for a fictional blockbuster. Higgsfield.ai contest entry.
A tribute to everyone who ever pushed their GPU to the absolute edge. In this universe, VRAM is oxygen. Run out of it and the machine dies, and everything you were building dies with it.
The story started with a simple idea. A giant RTX 3090 spaceship slowly going down because the AI models got too damn big and there just isn’t enough memory to hold it together. I mixed my favorite directors into one thing, Nolan, Scott, Danny Boyle and a few others. The references were Event Horizon, Sunshine, Interstellar, Gravity, Prometheus, Ad Astra, The Martian, Star Wars.
Before touching any generation tools I used Gemini to figure out the scene count and timing, then manually cut a sizzle reel in DaVinci from those reference films, after downloading a ton of footage (a sizzle is a rough concept edit assembled from existing material to feel out pacing and mood before any original content is made). Then me and Gemini and GPT worked out the characters and the ship design. I fed them refs, iterated until I had something solid enough to actually use as visual reference for generation.
Then you just grind. 45 frames total. For each one you swap prompts and models until it looks right. Then you animate each frame and that’s basically your shooting day. Post is post, same as any real project. Color grade every frame in DaVinci, lift faces where needed, tune the edit. Music was generated too, Gemini helped nail the prompt from reference tracks. Then you lock the edit to music, mix the voiceover so it doesn’t drown everything, throw on titles and export.
The structure is just regular film production. AI takes the place of the crew. You’re still the one making every creative call.
