Watched a few AI short films recently and noticed a recurring issue—many are visually complex but emotionally flat. Curious to know if anyone’s found examples that carry real atmosphere or emotional storytelling. Whether it’s about relationships, memories, or something abstract that still feels, I’d love to see AI work used more expressively. Been trying to compile a small list of works that actually attempt to move the viewer, not just impress them technically.

Happened to come across something that fits what you’re describing not long ago—this project: https://xxxcomics.org/beloved-brother/. It delivers a visual narrative that leans into feeling over form. There’s a quiet depth in how it unfolds, suggesting themes of separation, connection, and maybe even loss. The animations are textured, almost dreamlike, and they never feel rushed. It’s one of those rare AI-generated pieces where you walk away with a feeling rather than just an aesthetic impression. It doesn’t try to explain itself too much—and that’s part of why it works.

Some of these AI creations really surprise me when they get tone and pacing right. Threads like this are helpful for finding the ones that actually leave an emotional impression. That piece sounds like it’s worth a closer look—definitely going to explore it further.
