This is a personal title sequence project for a fictional series titled The NeverEnding Story. The goal was not to create a fake title sequence, but rather to develop a personal art direction study, exploring the use of artificial intelligence tools such as Nano Banana Pro, Sora, GPT Image, and Kling AI.
All visual assets were generated using these tools and later animated and composited in After Effects. The credits use the same names featured in the original title sequence of The NeverEnding Story (1984). The music comes from the opening sequence of Silo (2023), as this is a strictly personal and experimental project, with no commercial intent.
Despite its 45-second runtime, the project required approximately three weeks of work during my vacation. Roughly half of this time was dedicated to research, concept development, and experimentation, while the remaining half focused on execution and refinement.
From an art direction and narrative standpoint, I chose to explore the concept of ivory sculptures, a decision directly connected to the story’s universe and to a tragic dramatic arc — one that resonates more strongly with those familiar with the book rather than the film adaptation.
