AI Cinematic Showreel / March 2026

As every AI filmmaker knows, it only takes a couple of months for your best work to look outdated. If the movie you so painstakingly created resonates with people, it might take a few more months until it becomes obsolete. This means you have to keep burning yourself out: trying, failing, and learning how to push the boundaries, simply to remain relevant.

It feels like decades since we all laughed at the dysmorphic abomination of Will Smith eating spaghetti, but it’s only been three years (March 23, 2023). Having climbed the peaks of basic consistency, crossed the river of perpetual jitter, and crawled through the entire uncanny valley, this is where we’re at now. The worst it will ever be.

Just about ready for the big screen, good enough for broadcast, perfect for everything else. From now on, some of the shots we generate might even survive a full year. Most of them won’t last till summer.

Tools used: Nano Banana 2 (and Pro), Kling 3.0, 2.6, Seedance 2.0. Music by Producer AI. Edited and color graded in DaVinci Resolve.

It took me eight months, literary thousands of prompts and an immense amount of patience to create, refine and complete an AI-generated short film with 165 shots, and a production value estimated at $1.5 million.

When I started creating the visuals, Veo and Nano Banana didn’t exist yet, and the same goes for Seedream and Seedance. Kling was at its 1.6 version, pretty decent but inadequate for the level of accuracy this project demanded. Kling 2.5 saved the day, at the end.

Character and design consistency was a nightmare, so a lot of the initial shots were regenerated and replaced during editing. All voices are original, designed in Eleven Labs. Music was generated in Producer AI, with a lot of help in prompting by Gemini.
