Theme
Heroes come in many forms. Give your hero unique abilities, beliefs, and a purpose. Build their world, and bring an original superhero story to life with AI.
For this challenge, create a short AI video that introduces an original superhero cinematic universe of your own. Your universe should include original superhero characters, powers, conflicts, villains, rules, locations, and a visual style that feels like it could grow into a larger movie universe.
Your submission should be 45 seconds to 5 minutes long and created with AZ8.
Your work must be fully original. It may take the form of a movie trailer, a cinematic scene, a short film, a superhero character reveal, an origin story, or a world building concept video.
Create the superhero universe only you could imagine, and make it feel like a movie people wish already existed.
