ABOUT
A philosophical science-fiction short co-created by Michael Boutov / iconic AI and Boutovstudio. An administrator ordered to erase a failed world enters it for one complete human lifetime—and discovers that civilization cannot be judged only by its failures. Selected for the Top 50 shortlist at the Higgsfield Global Film Festival from more than 6,000 submissions. Presented here in 4K. Festival project and production materials: https://higgsfield.ai/@iconicai/projects/planet-47
PROCESS
Built from a scripted, reference-led workflow with recurring character, location and prop assets. Scenes were generated with Seedance 2.5 in Higgsfield, with Nano Banana Pro imagery and Topaz Video enhancement. The production focused on continuity across an entire human lifetime, restrained cinematic lighting and a consistent visual language. Co-created by iconic AI and Boutovstudio; the linked public project includes source scenes, prompts and production references.
