"Drifters"

written & directed by Gonzalo Arilla

My first experiment in creating an AI-generated narrative short film. The main character and the creature was prototyped on-board with a variety of open source Stable Diffusion XL checkpoints using Forge and Comfy UI. Some were refined further by enhancing and modifying in Photoshop. The cinematic shots were made with a diversity of methods and models -from Kling 2.5, 2.6, 3.0, to Veo 3.1. and others. The voices are mostly generated with ElevenLabs. Some shots could be made at the first try, others have gone through several versions and re-iterations.
