Creating short films and music with the help of AI
Creating short films and music with the help of AI
I'm experimenting by making AI short films and AI-generated music. I've created the original artworks using AI and Figma with music I've composed using Udio AI.

I worked with new AI artwork from Taus Hano (https://bento.me/taushano) to create this animated gallery of collage sculpture.
I used Hailuo AI's I2V-01-Director model to 'film' the collage artworks in a few simple prompts. I struggled to achieve this sort of control, with previous models and other Al tools. Now I'm really encouraged to experiment on new short film projects using this model.
I 'composed' this music with Udio and edited it all together with Runway.

I produced this video to help launch the spring 2025 website refresh for the Heure de Fleur website. It's a simple image slideshow with original music I created with Udio AI.

This is the second version of my short film homage to the TV series Severance. Or rather to a small piece of the dialogue that caught my eye from one of the episodes. This time I've animated the images using the amazing Hailuo AI (sorry, I didn't add that credit to Hailuo to the titles at the end, I'll improve that in version 3). My first short film of this story was a still image slideshow. I used Runway again to piece it all together with the music track I created with Udio AI. The images were originally created with Google's Imagen 3.
I worked with Gemini to develop the concept, style guide, art direction and everything I needed (and lots of moral support) for the production. Both the musical composition and artworks came directly from my collaboration with Gemini, developing prompts together and discussing changes, then creating the final sound theme and footage. I think we've achieved a much closer match to my vision with this version. There are certainly frames that could be improved I'm sure. There's always new AI video models and updates, so it may be time for another version soon, but I do love the aesthetic at the moment. Too much polish may not be good for this particular project which is about the art of the process, the mystery and the way the music disorients. And that ending, oh that ending.
Soon, I hope to improve things so it becomes a continuously updating flow of newly created floral artworks, both from me and my collaborators.

The Joy of Collaborative Flash Fiction: An Experiment in AI Creativity
The Joy of Collaborative Flash Fiction: An Experiment in AI Creativity
Writing, we often think, is a solitary act. Yet, the flash fiction I created with my favourite AIs last year is the result of a conversation between minds - a newbie creative writer (that's me) and an AI (that's Google Gemini Advanced and Anthropic's Claude Sonnet). Together I hope you'll find we have crafted some evocative narratives. You can download my favourite 30 of the 100 we wrote together below.

I started collaborating with these AIs in February 2024 . Mostly with Gemini and then I talked to Claude Sonnet to work on some of the later pieces.
Our process was a mix of inspiration, research, and experimentation. We explored genres ranging from the darkly introspective to the playfully absurd, drawing inspiration from literary traditions across the world. Gemini and I took turns providing unique starting points and we together suggested unexpected directions. We revised and honed each scene, seeking that perfect blend of image, emotion, and linguistic precision that elevates the flash fiction form.

More than reaching a perfect destination, we found reward in the creative detours themselves. As you read, I hope you sense not just the finished pieces, but also the echoes of the collaborative spirit that brought them to life.

Over 6 weeks in Spring 2024 we wrote 100 flash fictions together. My silly goal. Then I took an extended break to recharge. And now in March 2025 I have chosen 30 and edited them a little, here and there. So they are ready now for you to read. 11,500 words in total in a range of styles and topics with some stories just a handful of paragraphs and others lasting several pages.
