MIRAI Labo · Synthesized Reality
Showreel 2025
Every frame in this showreel was AI-directed, not AI-generated. The distinction matters: direction means a human decided what it should look like before the model ran. MIRAI Labo's Collage Phase methodology — assembling visual references, lighting logic, and compositional blueprints before any generation begins — is what separates the frames here from model output. The showreel compiles the studio's full body of synthesized reality work from 2025: brand campaigns, character studies, automotive sequences, and virtual human production. No location shoots. No crew. No talent fees. The budget that used to gate cinematic quality no longer exists. Directed by Bryan Lee. Shinjitsu Standard — all work registered and C2PA-verifiable.

Brand Campaign · Financial Services
Two Journey, One World — CIMB Preferred
Malaysia's first fully AI-directed commercial produced for a regulated financial institution. CIMB Preferred briefed a brand film spanning four cities — Bangkok, Hong Kong, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur — with no location budget and a compressed timeline. MIRAI Labo delivered a cinematic multi-country brand narrative without a single location shoot, crew deployment, or talent contract. The entire production was directed frame-by-frame under the Ghost in the Machine philosophy and certified under the Shinjitsu Standard with full C2PA provenance metadata. CIMB has since deployed MIRAI Labo synthesized content a second time — a corporate teaser for the CIMB Private Wealth launch, Shinjitsu entry SHN-2026-008. Both productions passed the bank's full brand, legal, and compliance review chains.

R&D · Character Study
No Man's Land — Cassandra Cain
A conceptual movie teaser built around Ziga Lin, MIRAI Labo's virtual human, cast as Cassandra Cain. Gothic noir colour treatment. Handheld emulation derived from Red Komodo 6K reference footage, applied through the Collage Phase directorial methodology. The project was non-commercial R&D with a specific technical brief: test whether a virtual human built for brand work could hold dramatic character register across an extended sequence. The answer was yes. Ziga's visual consistency — engineered across 10 iterative versions before deployment — was stable enough to carry the performance without retakes, reshoots, or continuity breaks. Non-commercial. Not affiliated with DC Comics or Warner Bros.

R&D · Automotive
Toyota GR Supra × Monster Hunter — Director's Cut
An automotive action sequence built in two days from concept to final render. The brief was internal: test how quickly MIRAI Labo's Collage Phase workflow could produce a credible cinematic action sequence under directional constraints — tight storyboard, specific car angle logic, creature motion that read as physically coherent. The result was a creature-versus-vehicle chase sequence that moved from storyboard to locked edit in 48 hours. No crew, no vehicle permits, no VFX pipeline. The production demonstrated that concept-to-final speed at this level is structural — not exceptional. Non-commercial fan art. Not affiliated with Toyota Motor Corporation or Capcom.

R&D · Brand
Land of Light — Boss Coffee × Ultraman
A non-commercial concept film built to one specific constraint: raw AI output only. No in-painting. No rotoscoping. No compositing patches. Every frame had to pass at final-pixel quality directly from the model, under directorial control via the Collage Phase methodology. The project was a proof-of-concept demonstrating that AI-directed output, properly constrained by pre-generation directorial intent, can hold broadcast quality without correction. The concept film spans a Japanese aesthetic combining the Boss Coffee brand world with Ultraman visual language. Non-commercial. Not affiliated with Suntory or Tsuburaya Productions.

R&D · Visual Test
Crimson Frost — Wuxia Aesthetic R&D
A wuxia aesthetic study built around The Bride with White Hair (1993) as a reference architecture — deconstructing how the film's colour logic, movement vocabulary, and spatial geometry could be reconstructed through generative cinematography. Ziga Lin appears as the central figure. The project was a non-profit tribute to Leslie Cheung and a technical test of photorealistic ink-wash treatment applied to a virtual human at full cinematic resolution. Directed by Bryan Lee. Production pipeline: Midjourney V6 → Runway Gen-2 → Luma Dream Machine → After Effects. All work registered under the Shinjitsu Standard.

Music · Virtual Band
Last Christmas — Shiro Kuma 白熊乐团
A Pop-Punk re-imagination of the Wham! classic, performed by Shiro Kuma — MIRAI Labo's virtual band concept. The track grafts Mandopop lyrical phrasing onto the original harmonic structure, produced entirely within the synthesized reality pipeline. Last Christmas is Track 02 from The White Noise, Shiro Kuma's concept album. The project was a test of whether the same directorial methodology used for brand film production could be applied to music video and virtual performance work. It was. The band does not exist physically. The production did not require a studio, performers, or a label. It required a director and a brief.
