For works that have used AI ONLY PARTIALLY in the ENTIRE VISUAL PROCESS for their creation and/or production.

Project Description


Premiered at Tribeca Festival as part of the “AI Shorts program”

In ‘The Pulse Within’, Sarah escapes the routines of her ordinary life, embarking on a transformative journey deep into her imagination. She explores a surreal realm where creative expression reshapes her reality. Her movements transcend dance—they become expressions of her inner world, breaking through conventional boundaries.

Our creative process centered on this theme of liberation through movement, employing a range of digital techniques to visually amplify Sarah’s shifting perspective and emotional depth.

Each surreal element reflects her evolution, transforming her inner pulse into a vivid, fluid reality. We utilized tools such as Stable Diffusion, Runway, Krea, and Unreal to bring these ideas to life.
