Echoes of the Corridor
Echoes of the Corridor is a virtual production short film that combines AI-generated imagery, digital environments, and cinematic storytelling to explore memory, family relationships, and the psychological pressure behind success.
The film follows Alex, a young New Yorker whose buried memories are awakened by an unexpected conversation. She finds herself inside a mysterious apartment floating above the clouds, where the space constantly transforms around her. As she moves through the apartment, she experiences three surreal scenes.
The first explores the lasting impact of her mother's control and expectations on her life. The second reveals her fear of a future defined by work, isolation, and emotional disconnection. The third brings her back to a lost young romance, confronting the memories and possibilities she left behind.
These scenes are not literal memories, but emotional spaces shaped by fear, desire, and imagination. Through a hybrid workflow that combines virtual production and AI-assisted image generation, the film visualizes inner psychological experiences that are often difficult to express.
Mountain Fuji
This is a virtual production commercial developed and rendered in Unreal Engine 5 for Google Search AI Mode. The film follows a mixed-race girl reconnecting with her Japanese roots through conversations with Google Search AI Mode, ultimately fulfilling her dream of climbing Mount Fuji.
I was responsible for building the virtual environment in Unreal Engine 5 and operating the real-time engine during the on-set virtual production shoot.
