Video Prompt

A man notices his shadow is making different gestures than his body. It waves when he doesn't. It reaches toward other people's shadows. And each day, it looks a little less like him and a little more like something else.

How It Works

1

Write Your Prompt

Start with a short description of your story idea. Keep it simple — a sentence or two is all you need.

A little fox in an enchanted forest hoards acorns until a hungry squirrel family teaches him the joy of sharing.

2

AI Optimization

Our AI expands and optimizes your prompt — adding scene structure, narration flow, and visual direction for the best results.

Scene 1: A copper-furred fox darts between mossy oaks, stuffing golden acorns into his burrow. Scene 2: A tiny grey squirrel knocks on his door, eyes wide with hunger...

3

Video Generation

AI generates narrated video scenes with visuals, voiceover, and sound for each part of your story.

"Deep in the enchanted forest, Felix the fox had a secret — a burrow overflowing with golden acorns he refused to share with anyone..."

Final Assembly

Narration, visuals, transitions, captions, and music all come together into your finished video.

Voiceover + AI video scenes + word-by-word captions + gentle background music = your finished 1-minute story video.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of horror is this shadow story?
This is psychological and existential horror. The threat is deeply personal: the loss of something you never knew was essential to your existence.

The AI generates scenes with dramatic lighting that emphasizes shadows: streetlights, spotlights, and single-source room lighting. The visual contrast creates naturally unsettling imagery.
Is this story suitable for TikTok and social media?
Yes. The premise is immediately compelling and the visual concept of a wrong shadow is inherently eye-catching in a scrolling feed.
Can I combine this with other horror topics?
