Dubai AI Festival

Created while working at Sentient by Elysian, this project was commissioned as the main stage opening video for the Dubai AI Festival 2025.

The challenge was both ambitious and time-critical: producing a fully CG, large-scale film within just 12 days, tailored for an ultra-wide stage format of 6400 × 1300 pixels.

Conceptually, the film explores the metaphor of the "black box mind" of artificial intelligence—a space where thoughts form, collide, and evolve. Through abstract visual storytelling, we sought to capture how AI reflects on its own history, processes its present, and projects toward the unknowns of the future.

This project balanced narrative clarity, scale, and technical precision, with the aim of immersing the audience in a cinematic experience that set the tone for one of Dubai's most forward-looking events.
