As synthetic imagery continues to gain traction, many creators remain intent on achieving photorealism, often overlooking the rich creative possibilities nestled within the uncanny valley.

What might synthetic fashion models look like, and how do they move when they dance and revel in a moment of pure enjoyment?

This video aims to capture exactly that.

Technical Notes

The "Dark Wave Sunshine" video was generated in January 2025 using OpenAI's Sora. All images were created at 480p for speed and efficiency, then edited in Adobe Premiere, with all graphics made using Adobe After Effects. Once the edit and graphics were locked, the images were upscaled to 720p using custom processes (unsharp mask, grain, etc.).
