Duygu Soylu — Kör Kuyu

A character-led AI-assisted music video: visual development, generated source imagery and image-to-video material shaped into a finished edit for Duygu Soylu.

Role

I handled the AI-assisted visual direction and final video construction for Kör Kuyu.

The process started with character and scene development using generative image tools. Those still-image directions became source material for generated moving-image sequences, which I then selected, structured and edited into the finished music video.

Process

The difficult part was not producing individual images. It was keeping a recognizable visual world while moving from still character concepts to motion and then to an edit that could carry the song rather than feel like a sequence of unrelated generated clips.

That meant treating generation as source material rather than as the finished work: establish the characters and visual language, create enough motion material to explore, discard what breaks continuity, and then solve rhythm and narrative in the edit.

Why it belongs here

Kör Kuyu is a useful continuation of the approach I began exploring in Mesaj: generative tools can expand the available visual material, but direction, continuity, selection and editing still determine whether that material becomes a coherent piece.
