Silent Minds | AI Trailer
In the dystopian future of 2049, London is dominated - not by flying cars - but by the SynthMind network, where human minds are connected during sleep to fuel collective computing as a competitive edge against AI networks.
Eden Wraith, a woman with a haunted past, discovers the dark truth behind SynthMind and vows to dismantle it. As she delves into the underworld of unmonitored dreams, Eden's journey becomes a fight for humanity's freedom against the manipulative Cyrus Vector, the mastermind behind SynthMind.
Will Eden ignite a revolution and reclaim humanity's lost essence, or will SynthMind tighten its grip forever?

My Process
1️⃣ Started with the concept idea I had based on my musings on the place of humans in an AI-first future.
2️⃣ Teamed up with ChatGPT to refine it into a story with a protagonist, antagonist, backstories, and more.
3️⃣ Storyboarded each scene in Notion, mixing AI suggestions with my own creative vision.
4️⃣ Used Midjourney to craft stunning visuals, ensuring character and style consistency by leveraging their style and character reference features for continuity.
5️⃣ Brought these stills to life with Runway ML's superior brush and lip sync tools for that perfect animation with a bit more control over the motion.
6️⃣ Added depth with a carefully modulated Elevenlabs voiceover, aiming for a narrative that breathes emotion.
Why make this trailer?
Imagine this. Instead of sending the usual written treatment to sell your story or secure funding, what if you could send a 1-minute AI-generated trailer that captures the essence of your film?
→ For scriptwriters, AI is about to change the game in a big way.
Visual Treatments
A visual treatment powered by AI can bring your script to life in a way words on a page simply can’t. It’s not just about presenting the plot—it’s about immersing potential investors, producers, and decision-makers in the mood, tone, and emotion of your story.
The kind of experience they’ll feel and not just read.
Think about it:
- The atmosphere of your thriller, wrapped in moody, cinematic visuals
- The energy of your action sequences, presented in a fast-paced montage
- The intimacy of your drama, conveyed through subtle AI-driven facial animations
This approach will not only make your story stand out but will also increase the chances of getting a response. When someone watches a compelling AI-generated trailer, they’ll be much more likely to dive into the written treatment—and maybe even fast-track the green light for your project.
