AI involvement

AI-generated The picture was generated with AI tools.

Permikin states that every frame was generated inside Higgsfield and all audio was AI-generated. The production note describes character reference sheets made in Soul Cinema and Seedream, reusable location plates and shot-by-shot reference inputs. Those named tools have no matching catalogue vocabulary slug, so none is substituted.
