ABOUT

Separated from her family, Amber, a young pangolin, journeys through a dangerous jungle where acts of kindness transform predators into allies.

PROCESS
"Amber" was created as a solo filmmaking project using generative tools throughout the production. I used GPT Image 2.5 to develop the characters and environments, then Runway to bring those images to life through animation. Suno was used to create the musical score, while ElevenLabs helped build the film’s sound effects. I then shaped everything into the finished short through editing, pacing, and final sound design.
