Curated film records / 10
Different evidence, different confidence.
Festival selection can verify a programme record. A creator page can describe a workflow. Neither replaces independent rights, provenance, or quality review.
01 / 2024 / HYBRID
Get Me Out / 囚われて
Daniel Antebi · 6:34
Study the hybrid handoff: live-action capture, 3D environment work, and transformed image treatment.
- Why selected
- A specific, source-attributed workflow instead of a vague “made with AI” label.
- Workflow evidence
- VentureBeat reports the filmmaker named Luma, Runway video-to-video and ComfyUI in the production.
- Limit
- Creator-reported process details are not a repeatable quality or clearance guarantee.

Pounamu
Samuel Schrag · 4:48
Study concise, non-dialogue narrative structure rather than model spectacle.

03 / 2024 / HYBRID
e^(i*π) + 1 = 0
Junie Lau · 5:07
Study the formal contrast between filmed performance and generative image construction.
- Why selected
- The work has a distribution/festival record plus an unusually concrete process note.
- Workflow evidence
- mk2 describes generative software combined with live action, AI-assisted voice translation, and ideation.
- Limit
- “Several tools” is not a single-model claim; terms and source assets still need project-level review.

PJ Accetturo / NightsRadiant · 4:00
Study a creator’s public account of a tightly constrained weekend build.

Study how a film can make a conceptual question about image space carry through a full short.
- Why selected
- 2025 Grand Prix record with independent cultural-context documentation.

Study a documentary-shaped premise built from a storyboard-to-generation process.
- Why selected
