Clandestina

A song about loss. A video about what AI makes possible.

ABSTRACT

“Clandestina” is Emma Peters’ haunting French cover of a song about a woman adrift – her family destroyed by the drug trade, searching for connection in the wreckage. One of our favorite songs. We’d wanted to visualize it for years.

We set the story in Miami’s neon edges: a woman navigating the city alone, memories of her family flickering through, the weight of what she’s lost visible in every frame.

METHOD

Our first fully AI-generated music video. Every shot began as a still keyframe in Midjourney, then ran through Veo, Kling, Runway, Minimax, Seedance, Wan – whichever model best served the moment. Some tools handled motion. Some handled faces. Some gave us texture we couldn’t get elsewhere. Color, lens flares, and aberrations in post.

Produced traditionally, this video would have cost roughly $3 million – locations, talent, crew, equipment, time. We made it in three weeks.
