AI in Motion: Video & Animation
Bringing static concepts to life with AI video tools. Surreal loops, Indofuturist shorts, and dynamic narratives from the future of our 'Riyal Life'.
A compilation of early video experiments using Sora AI. This reel includes a baby with cybernetic legs, a crowd of people floating, an alien in a market, a steampunk mech, and a strange creature in a forest.
A surreal, glitchy video of a giant figure causing a traffic pile-up, titled 'respawn error'. This was an experiment in creating a chaotic, game-like aesthetic.
A cinemagraph of a blue, winged figure waiting for a train, titled 'An Inherited Fear of Flying'. The subtle motion of the train and lights creates a melancholic, atmospheric scene.
A short, shaky clip of the 'Kekdacab' moving through a construction site. The found-footage style makes the surreal vehicle feel more real.
An experiment with Runway Gen-3 creating 'Bumble-billis', or bumblebee-cats. This showcases the tool's ability to merge concepts and create fantastical creatures.
A test of Runway Gen-3 showing a glowing green holographic figure walking through night traffic. This explores a different kind of futuristic visual effect.
A short video of the INSEMCO engineer Rakesh Jha testing his exosuit before he disappeared. The vintage VHS effect adds to the mystery and lore of the fictional story.
A video showing an AI model with a mechanical head experiencing the sensory overload of a Mumbai market. The glitching and color shifts represent its internal processing.
A short, animated portrait of 'Surinder', the robot office worker. The subtle movements and text overlay bring the character and his backstory to life.
A video depicting a human and a cyborg in a romantic embrace, with text about a fictional law banning such relationships. This tells a short, poignant story about forbidden love.
About AI in Motion: Video & Animation
I do not just prompt and pray. Each animation here is built using multi-stage AI workflows where I layer narrative context onto video outputs. If you see that specific glitchy movement or the Indofuturist texture in my work, it is the result of hours spent in manual post-processing and fine-tuning, not a random generation.
Building a video world is different from creating a static image. When I move into animation, the goal is to make the surreal feel grounded. Whether it is a floating cinema in a flooded Mumbai street or a cyborg negotiating a social contract, the motion needs to feel intentional.
My Video Process
I typically start with a script or a scene fragment before touching any video generation tools. I use models like Runway Gen-3 to generate the raw motion, but that is rarely the final output. Most of my work involves a heavy layer of manual Photoshop editing, color grading, and texture blending to remove those uncanny AI artifacts that break immersion.
What I Deliver
- Cinematic Loops: Perfect for ambient backgrounds, album teasers, or social media content that needs a hypnotic, futuristic edge.
- Short Narratives: I build 15-to-30-second sequences that explore a single concept, like the 'Khoya Khoya Chaand Transmission' or the 'Kekdacab' wildlife, to create lore-heavy visuals.
- Technical Realism: I am obsessed with getting the physics right, even in a sci-fi setting. Whether it is adding grain to mimic 90s VHS footage or fixing the gait of a mechanical character, the technical side is about selling the fantasy.
If you have a story that needs to move, we should talk about how we can build it, not just render it.

Hey, I’m Prateek. I spend my days building weird worlds, from sentient autos in Mumbai to hacked TV signals. I use AI video tools to finally make these worlds move, capturing that glitchy, surreal vibe of our 'Riyal Life' in motion.
