Cliff’s Edge: Shattered

Cliff’s Edge: Shattered is a haunting exploration of the inner battles we often fight alone, yet echoes the struggles of many.

Concept

A melancholic exploration of the human psyche and the search for catharsis. This project serves as a visual meditation on isolation, using a non-traditional narrative structure to mirror the internal chaos of the protagonist. It rejects the ‘happy ending’ in favor of raw, emotional truth.

Execution

A full-pipeline AI production. The journey began with an original AI-assisted short story, which was transformed into a melancholic musical score via Suno. Storyboarding and prompt engineering were helped using Gemini to ensure cinematic pacing before moving into visual generation.

Director’s Note

In the absence of dedicated character training, I developed a ‘Semantic Consistency’ workflow. By utilizing specific keyword triggers focusing on posture, hair texture, and silhouette, I maintained a unified visual identity across the film, proving that creative direction can overcome technical constraints.
