Overview
MIDIVOXX, Pearl In The Shell is a 3:48 cinematic AI music video created by Leopati. The project focuses on translating the artist’s original concept into a single, coherent visual narrative.
Pearl In The Shell is the 2026 English/international MIDIVOXX music video featured on this page. The starting point was the artist’s concept; Leopati translated that direction into a coherent cinematic language through scene structure, character system and visual direction. From production through editing and final finishing, the central objective was to preserve one narrative identity across changing scenes and environments.

04Brief
Why this project existed
AI generatedObjective
MIDIVOXX needed an official music video for its single "Pearl In The Shell" that turns the song into a story, one man's everyday life in monochrome and the imagined life the music opens up in colour, delivered release-ready for the artist's own channel.
The creative challenge
The central challenge was that generative production does not preserve shot-to-shot visual continuity automatically. As environments changed, character identity, wardrobe, lighting and scene language could drift. A second challenge was maintaining that continuity while allowing the edit to progress with the track, so scenes could hold their own atmosphere rather than relying on constant rapid cuts.
05Direction
Creative direction
AI generatedPearl In The Shell follows one man through the stages of his life and the life he imagines alongside it. The shore, the house by the lake, the office and the dinner table stay in monochrome; colour arrives only with the music, the neon studio, a corridor of signs and a tunnel of light, until the final stage, where MIDIVOXX play under their own neon sign and the imagined life becomes real. The video is the official clip for MIDIVOXX's single, made by Leopati with generative AI and directed by Güneş Polater.
Pearl In The Shell follows one man through the stages of his life and the life he imagines alongside it. His everyday world is drained of colour; the world of music arrives in full colour, so the edit itself becomes the story of a man walking from routine toward the stage he dreamed of.
The worlds in Pearl In The Shell are not locations; they are the character’s imagination and the road his life has taken. I kept his everyday life, the shore, the house, the suit, the dinner table, without colour, and let colour enter only with the music. That single rule carries the narrative: every time the song opens up, his inner world takes over the frame, until the last scenes where the stage he imagined becomes real.
Visual style
Monochrome, naturally lit realism for the everyday world; saturated neon, violet, magenta, cyan and amber, for the world of music. The shift between the two palettes, not the cutting pace, marks the turns of the song.
Cinematography and camera language
Close, eye-level portraits hold the character’s face in the monochrome scenes; wider frames and slow push-ins open up the colour scenes. Light sources inside the frame, a struck match, neon signage, a tunnel of light, carry the transitions between worlds.
Colour palette
- #1C1C1CMonochrome black, the everyday world
- #9A9A9ANeutral grey, natural-light realism
- #7B3FE4Neon violet, the world of music
- #FF2E93Neon magenta, studio and stage light
- #22D3EENeon cyan, the tunnel of light
- #FFB020Amber, struck match and warm accents
Continuity rules
- The man
- Face, hair and build are locked to one approved reference and checked against it in every one of the 51 shots, in both the monochrome and the colour worlds.
- Colour rule
- The everyday world, the shore, the house by the lake, the office, the dinner table, stays monochrome; colour enters the frame only with the music and never leaks back into the everyday scenes.
- MIDIVOXX neon sign
- On the final stage the band plays under one fixed neon MIDIVOXX sign, same lettering and glow in every shot where it appears.
Characters
- The man
- The protagonist, seen from a solitary walk on the shore to the keyboard in the studio. His face, hair and build were locked to one approved reference and checked against it in every one of the 51 shots.
- The singer
- MIDIVOXX’s vocalist, the voice of the song and the figure who belongs to the colour world, from the neon studio to the final stage.
Worlds and locations
- The shore
- A mountain coastline at dawn; solitude and the start of the journey.
- The house by the lake
- Home, family and the settled life.
- The office and the suit
- Routine, obligation and the life he is expected to live.
- The dinner table
- Family and belonging, still in black and white.
- The neon studio
- The first colour world: records, keyboards and the song itself.
- The corridor of signs and the tunnel of light
- The passage between the two lives.
- The stage
- The imagined life made real: MIDIVOXX under their own neon sign.

Craft

Creative Direction & Cinematic Story Design
Before production began, the video’s core visual rules were defined: the character’s appearance, the shared atmosphere across the scenes, and the boundaries of lighting and camera language. This allowed each new shot to be evaluated not as an isolated visual experiment, but as a continuation of the same established world.
-
AI-Assisted Cinematic Scene Production
Different environments were developed separately and evaluated according to each scene’s role in the narrative. The objective was not simply to create strong standalone images, but to preserve a shared visual identity while introducing spatial variety. Generated imagery was therefore selected and developed as parts of the same visual system.
-
Character Continuity & Scene Composition Management
Once the character reference was locked, preserving the same identity in every scene became a core control point. Environment, character and in-frame musical elements were combined in layers, while each composition was evaluated in relation to the scenes before and after it. This allowed separate production elements to converge into one character and one film world.
-
Editing, Colour & Final Visual Finishing
In the final stage, scene order, transition rhythm, colour balance and visual finishing were shaped into one continuous viewing flow. The edit focused on supporting the progression of the track rather than simply placing images side by side. Colour and finishing reduced tonal differences between scenes and reinforced the film’s overall continuity.
07Process
How it was made
AI generatedCreated with generative AI · directed, edited and finished by people
The workflow was divided into controlled layers rather than treating each shot as a one-step finished generation. The character reference was established first, then environments were developed independently; character, scene elements and motion were built on top of that foundation. Each stage became a control point for the next, allowing character identity, scene order and pacing decisions to remain consistent under creative direction as image and motion production progressed.
Workflow
- 01
1. Approved character reference
The man's face, hair and build were locked to one approved reference image, which every later shot was checked against.
- 02
2. Generating the worlds
Monochrome everyday scenes and neon music scenes were generated as image references, then turned into moving shots with video models, 351 video generations in total.
- 03
3. Selection, edit and colour
51 shots were selected from the 351 generations, cut to the song and graded so that colour enters only with the music.

What was human, what was generated
The concept and the song belong to MIDIVOXX. Güneş Polater directed the video: he designed the two-world structure, locked the character, wrote and ran the generations, selected 51 shots from 351 video generations, and cut and colour-graded the film himself. The images and moving shots were generated with AI models; every creative decision around them, story, framing, selection, timing and colour, was made by people.
Prompt approach
Every shot began as a still. The character was fixed first on a single approved reference image; each new scene was then generated with that reference attached, and every result was checked against it before it moved to motion. Prompts describe the scene in camera terms, framing, lens feel, light source, palette, rather than in adjectives, so that the look stays consistent from one generation to the next.
Wide cinematic shot inside a dark music studio, a man in a white shirt and loose black tie plays a glowing keyboard, a female vocalist with long curly hair sings into a vintage microphone beside him, neon violet and cyan light, soft haze, shallow depth of field, 35mm lens feel, same faces as the reference images, 16:9Excerpts, trimmed, in the language they were written in.
Problems and solutions
Problem Generative models have no natural visual memory between shots; across the monochrome and colour worlds the man's face and the look of each scene could drift from one shot to the next.
Solution The character was locked to one approved reference and checked in every shot; colour was reserved for the music so the two worlds stay readable. 51 shots were selected from 351 video generations for the final cut.

11Questions
Questions about this project
What is MIDIVOXX’s “Pearl In The Shell” video about?
It follows one man through the stages of his life and the life he imagines alongside it. His everyday world stays in monochrome and colour enters only with the music, until the final stage where the band plays under its own neon sign and the imagined life becomes real.
How long did it take and in what format?
Production took 30 days. The 3:48 video was released on 28 June 2026 as a 16:9 Full HD (1920 × 1080), 25 fps stereo master.
What was the hardest part to make?
Generative production does not keep shot-to-shot continuity automatically, so character identity, wardrobe and lighting could drift as environments changed. Leopati kept one narrative identity across the scenes while letting the edit follow the track.
