Lobo do Serrote
AI Experimental Short Film (1 min)
Concept:
A one-minute film created entirely with artificial intelligence tools, exploring visual storytelling, emotional texture, and cinematic flow. The short portrays a Black Brazilian woman, upper-middle class, at home. While searching for a vinyl record, she plays it, brews a cup of coffee, and—after the first sip—sees a symbolic vision of a wolf: the spirit of Lobo do Serrote coffee.

Creative process:
The project began with a moodboard to define the atmosphere, palette, and visual composition, followed by character design—her look, setting, and gestures.
The main challenge was connecting multiple AI tools to ensure visual coherence, rhythm, and narrative flow. Each model has its own aesthetic and technical limitations, making the integration process complex and highly manual.

Tools used:
VEO3 — scene generation and visual prompting.
Midjourney — visual references, art direction, and mood creation.
ChatGPT — script structure and descriptive prompt refinement.
Gemini — framing ideas and narrative review.
NanoBanana — transition adjustments and visual consistency.
SeedDream4 — detail enhancement, color, and texture refinement.

Outcome:
An experiment in blending cinematic language and artificial intelligence—transforming the everyday ritual of coffee into a symbolic, sensory experience.
