A thriller-style AI short featuring a hitman entering a room, crafted to feel like authentic Hollywood cinema. Clark challenged himself to create a coherent cinematic narrative using Google Veo 3 and Google Flow, achieving a level of shot-to-shot visual consistency rarely seen in AI film at the time. The film showed what Veo 3 looked like in the hands of an experienced filmmaker: remarkably realistic, Hollywood-grade footage with coherent lighting and staging across cuts.
