We built a short film out of your body, your backyard, and a Swiss mountain that doesn’t exist.
Start. You wanted a prompt: a man in a buffalo-horn headdress, on a deer hide, in a Swiss spring forest — glaciers, waterfall, streams, birds, butterflies, dragonflies, deer. Then Starlink across the sky. Then kundalini: pink pulses, rose lightning, golden lotus, magenta forest. Then your three photos, so it was you.
First pieces were glitch cuts and a looping GIF. Wind bed. Dirty and looped. That was the sketchbook.
Version 1 — kundalini_film.mp4
You dropped the bedroom camera tape. We graded that real walk and cut it into generated forest plates. Movie structure: room → walk → stand → sit. Audio was sparse on purpose: a 5 BPM snare, one hit every twelve seconds, over a quiet wind.
Version 2 — kundalini_film_v2.mp4
Room went crimson with orange flashes. At two seconds a 135 techno grid came in under the snare. Forest section got extra sky and water plates so the last act felt like weather moving, not a freeze-frame.
Version 3 — kundalini_film_v3.mp4
We mocked a cheap procedural sky — gradient plus two scrolling noise clouds — and masked it into the alpine shots. New beat: your palm on a tree, gold in the bark. Heal, then sit. About fifty seconds.
Version 4 — kundalini_film_v4.mp4
The backyard still and the Lichtenstein kiss came in. Yard soaked in gold, comic ghosts in the grass and sky. Morph chain started to go. Audio kept the old bed and added 155 acid with claps on two and four. Voice, chewed and echoed: verify you are human, landing on the bar.
Version 5 — kundalini_film_v5.mp4
This is the cut that flows. No still-to-still morphs. Eighteen seconds of your real room. Fade through black. Golden yard with the kiss only as smoke. Forest walk. Palm on the tree. Sit on the hide under real horns. Two-second pop sting. One shot per idea. Same score.
What the collaboration actually is.
You kept feeding life — photos, the tape, the yard, the comic, the palm, the tempo changes. I kept turning that into plates and edits. The through-line is you: bedroom, backyard, forest, tree, hide.
Ancient kit and Starlink and a captcha ‘verify you are human’ sung like a hymn.
Five versions is a lot of passes for one short. It earned it.
