Prompt
LYRA is a haunting, beautiful glimpse into a future where humanity is gone, and a lone robot walks the Earth. This film explores themes of identity, memory, and what remains when everything else is gone.
Workflow & Recipe
The film began with a clearly defined emotional premise: a lone robot wandering a world after humanity’s disappearance. Key visual frames and character concepts were first generated in MidJourney to establish tone, environment, and robot identity. These images were then animated into cinematic sequences using video models like SeedDance and Kling, focusing on slow movement, environmental decay, and restrained camera motion. Adobe Firefly was used selectively for visual refinement and supporting assets, while ElevenLabs handled voice narration to anchor the emotional arc. The final piece was assembled by selecting the most consistent generations, pacing them deliberately to emphasize emptiness and memory rather than narrative complexity, allowing atmosphere to carry the story.
