SCENE 5 / 5 — INT. STRIP MALL WISHING WELL — AFTER HOURS
Experiment · Kling 1.5 / Google VEO 2.0An exploration of career adaptation in an AI-driven market, viewed through the lens of 1980s nostalgia. The piece translates the experience of throwing resumes into the void of ATS screeners into a literal narrative: pitching pennies into a strip-mall "A.I. Resume" wishing well, guided by KITT and Conky 2000.
Built on an image-to-video workflow requiring hero plates, character models, compositing, and upscaling. The technical challenge wasn't generating impressive visuals; it was maintaining narrative coherence and comedic timing across scenes created by different models, ending on a classic '80s freeze-frame.
