Genjutsu Experiments

Same camera, same motion, a different world. A dog becomes a dragon, a sneaker becomes a lobster and a talking head becomes an alien.

Genjutsu keeps a clip’s camera and motion and rebuilds what it shows. I ran more than 30 logged tests across 18 clips to learn where it breaks, and turned what I found into a playbook. It covers which mode to use for a character and which for a product, why timestamps work better than counting cuts, and how to make a source clip so the change lands.

The result is a set of before-and-afters, and a method I can repeat.

Made for Higgsfield’s Genjutsu contest in September 2026. Each clip is labeled: the original and the Genjutsu result.
