Even After (Prelude)
At the edge of the afterlife, an abandoned realm awakens.
Even After (Prelude) is a meditation on death, transformation, and what may await at the end of a lifetime.
Guided by original music and paintings meticulously transformed into photographic images with AI, the film invites the viewer to feel their way through the world.
CONCEPT + BACKGROUND
This short film is not driven by plot, but by sensation.
It is a tone piece — built to explore and establish place and atmosphere.
Created through a process of digital painting, ethically considered AI workflows, and original musical composition, Even After (Prelude) examines how emerging tools might extend the creative voice of the artist without displacing it.
It stands as both a conceptual foundation for a greater narrative and an experiment in process — the first expression of a cinematic arc that will expand over time.
The world depicted here was once a precursor to our own — a reality undisturbed for millennia.
In this prelude, it stirs.
Forests bloom again.
Inhabitants emerge.
The veil thins.
