- Trillo storyboarded with Stable Diffusion, then generated more than 400 Gen-2 clips for a two-minute-twenty film.
- The voice-over was rewritten as the imagery developed — the narration follows the material, not the reverse.
- The dream logic is deliberate: the film’s drifting forms carry the feeling of a memory you cannot quite hold.
