Experiencing Interruptions?

Daddy

Daddy is a 2 minute 59 second AI-generated music video created as a tribute to the filmmaker’s grandfather in Kerala, India. The project began with a poem written years earlier about his influence on childhood. That poem became the lyrical foundation for the song.

The vocals and melody were generated using Suno based on the original lyrics. Each visual scene was created individually using Sora, guided by detailed, line-by-line prompt engineering. Every lyric was translated into a corresponding visual concept before being rendered through iterative prompt cycles. The final assembly and edit were completed in VideoLeap.

No live-action footage was used. Both the audio and visual layers were generated through AI systems, with the human role focused on intention, memory, and iterative refinement.

Daddy has been recognized by the India Book of Records and is widely regarded as one of the first fully AI-generated music videos created using prompt engineering for both song and visuals. The film explores how emerging AI tools can be shaped to tell deeply personal stories rooted in lived experience.

Director Statement

Daddy began as a poem I had written years ago for my grandfather. The film grew from a desire to bring that memory to life through music and film.

The lyrics were written by me. The vocals and melody were generated using Suno. The visuals were built scene by scene using Sora. The process required multiple cycles of refinement to align tone, emotion, and pacing. The final assembly was completed using video editing software, with the workflow guided through iterative text prompts from start to finish.

There were no templates or remixes. Each frame was intentionally shaped to reflect lived memory including childhood learning, protection, everyday surroundings, and intergenerational warmth rooted in Kerala, India.

The film was later recognized by the India Book of Records for its use of prompt engineering across both song and visuals and is widely recognized as the world’s first fully AI-generated music video created using prompt engineering for both the song and the visuals.

Daddy reflects on legacy, gratitude, and the possibility of shaping emerging creative tools through personal memory and intent.
