My Own Funeral | #1 GenHQ Weekly Challenge Winner

Winner of GenHQ's Give Your Character a Voice weekly challenge. Otis was cast in Midjourney v8.2 and Seedream 5.0 Pro. I designed his voice in ElevenLabs Voice Design, spoke every line on Eleven v4 and used that audio as the reference in Seedance 2.5, so he speaks with native lip sync. The whole 15 seconds was blocked in three.js before I generated a single frame of video, and six Seedance takes came down to one. The 1987 church tape is a simulated VHS signal, from the camcorder through to a second-generation dub, playing on a CRT with its own beams, slot mask and glass. The 2005 house got a 35 mm film finish.
