Workflow & Recipe
This AI-assisted science-fiction video explores the relationship between imagination, technological progress, and the possibilities of the future through the experience of a teenage boy.
The video begins on a present-day New York street, where the boy holds his smartphone. Suddenly, the setting changes: he appears on the same street a hundred years in the past, surrounded by the clothing and atmosphere of that earlier era. As his message continues, the scene shifts again, taking him thirty years into the future, where he encounters unfamiliar technologies.
The visual transitions illustrate a central idea: imagination has often preceded scientific achievement. A smartphone transported a century into the past might have seemed impossible, yet *Psi Secrets* approaches this idea in reverse, inviting viewers to consider a possible achievement from thirty years ahead and bring it into the present as a scientific question.
By combining recognizable city life with contrasting historical and futuristic worlds, the video encourages curiosity about how today's inventions might once have seemed like science fiction.
The production combines AI-assisted visual creation with human creative direction, scene selection, and editing.
Part of **Vidvel — Experience a Novel Through Video**, an ongoing project by More Marian that introduces the world of *Psi Secrets* through connected videos.
