Curious Refuge Horror Competition
Iāve just finished my short film for the Curious Refuge Horror Competition! š¬š» My film, Echoes of the Hollow: Ava returns to her abandoned hometown, drawn back by haunting memories and a dark presence that lingers in Hollow Manor. As she confronts the houseāand herselfāan ancient evil begins to unravel her past, distorting reality and threatening to consume her completely. In a battle against her memories and a sinister force, Ava must face the terrifying truth that not everything can be left behind. Hereās the story behind my film and how I brought it to life. It took me around two weeks to complete, and Iām still amazed at what I could accomplish. A few years ago, I wouldnāt have even considered making a short filmāAI tools have indeed opened new possibilities. How I created the short film: 1 I started by writing the story in Claude, then used ChatGPT to break it down into scenes and dialogue. 2 I created the visuals in MidJourney, which took longer than expected to capture the right eerie, dark atmosphere. 3 I brought those scenes to life using Lumaāthough it sometimes added its spin to the visuals, which required some fine-tuning. 4 For dialogue and sound effects, I turned to ElevenLabs and then used Lumaās lip sync feature to sync the characters' dialogue. I got great results about 80% of the time! 5 Finally, I combined everything in CapCut, which took longer than anticipate, but it was worth the effort. I really enjoyed the process and learned a lot along the way. Let me know what you think of the filmāIām open to critique and any advice! š„ You can check out the film and vote for it here: https://pr.easypromosapp.com/p/983891?uid=655249404&lc=eng Your support would mean a lot! #AIHorror #CuriousRefuge #midJourney #lumaAI #ElevenLabs #CapCut #AIShortFilm #AIFilmmaking #claude #chatgpt
