Le Drip

"Absolute cinema". “Truly breathtaking”. "The world needs to see this".

A painterly existential French animated short, told in living oil paintings.

Le Drip was made primarily in Flora — a node-based platform where we built the shot-by-shot workflows and prompting structure. Inside Flora we used Nano Banana, Claude, and Seedance. We used Runway for storyboarding and video generation. Adobe was used for video and sound, and Leonardo for additional video. We also built a custom end-credits tool in Google AI Studio, and used ElevenLabs for the voice transformation and some sound effects.

While this is an AI-generated film, every creative decision was made by humans. The original concept came from screenwriter Jessie Hughes during the pandemic, and the film was brought to life by Alex Naghavi and Ezra Li, two AI filmmakers who met at the inaugural Google Flow Sessions residency in late 2025. Story, screenplay, performance, editing, sound design, foley, color, and art direction — all by humans.
