The Idol That Wakes

A 36-second AI-generated adventure short. No dialogue. Made with Higgsfield (Seedance 2.0 and 2.5) and directed through Claude Code. The sound is generated by the video model.

The story so far: an explorer lifts a small gold idol from a temple altar, runs along a cliff, throws away his hat and satchel, and jumps into a waterfall. He surfaces in a river and thanks the sky for his life. Beside him the idol opens its eyes. The ending is not made yet.

The development journey: every decision, failure, fix and credit top-up, warts and all.
