Workflow & Recipe
This AI-assisted video introduces Vidvel — Experience a Novel Through Video, an independent storytelling project created by More Marian around the science-fiction novel *Psi Secrets*.
Rather than presenting the videos as conventional book advertisements, Vidvel explores how a fictional world can unfold through connected visual stories. The video explains how different videos invite audiences to discover authentic elements of the novel, imagine the effects of its ideas, and explore its mysteries without revealing the entire story.
Through a combination of book excerpts, readers, cinematic scenes, futuristic environments, and project footage, the video demonstrates how written fiction and AI-assisted visual storytelling can work together. It also introduces the idea of the novel as a kind of time machine, inviting viewers to imagine possible futures and reflect on the choices and responsibilities that shape them.
The production combines human creative direction, conceptual development, visual selection, and editing with AI-assisted image and video creation.
Vidvel is an ongoing experiment in expanding the experience of a human-authored novel through video, allowing its fictional world to continue unfolding beyond a single trailer or conventional adaptation.
