Mechaniverse

Shane Willet

An early attempt at building a visually consistent world using generative AI — mechanical creatures, clockwork landscapes, and impossible machines stitched into a cohesive short. Mechaniverse captures the distinct aesthetic of this period: dreamlike, slightly uncanny, rich with details, and pushing for narrative consistency when the tools barely supported it.

Made with Midjourney, Pika
