"CHILDREN OF THE EARTH" - Horror AI Short Film (Kling + Gen3 Act 1)

Описание: "CHILDREN OF THE EARTH" - I have a very visceral relationship with the Horror genre. It is something that has fascinated me since young age and a genre that has deeply shaped my work and aesthetic. In this latest AI short film, I wanted to experiment with the idea of building tension through silence, and see if I could create something truly eerie and unsettling, not through jump scares or heavy exposition, but through subtle characterization and minimal dialogue. My goal was to let the environment itself do the storytelling—using silence as a tool to amplify unease.

I deliberately chose an outdoor setting, where sound typically dissipates into open space. Instead of relying on traditional horror tropes, I used environmental sound design to make that openness feel suffocating. The result is a scene where silence doesn’t create peace, but pressure.
Beyond the atmosphere, I also wanted to try push the performance capture, all done with Runway Gen3 Act 1 and an iPhone, and prompted performance in Kling 1.6, to create a sense of heightened awareness between the characters. Every glance, every subtle movement, and every moment of stillness had to carry weight. The challenge was to make the characters feel hyper-aware of each other without relying on excessive dialogue.

This piece was an exercise in restraint and character design. Hope you like it. Viewer discretion is advised.
