AI cinematic research
Hyper-real spaces, silent glitches, and visual experiments in liminal physics. Some scenes look real. Some feel remembered. All of them test what you believe.
Cinematic studies in space, reflection, memory, and behavior.
Corridors, parking lots, elevators
Hyper-real public spaces that quietly misbehave. Depth lines bend by degrees, arrows desync from direction, and geometry drifts while the camera stays calm.
Mirrors, glass, chrome
Scenes where the reflection stops obeying the world it mirrors. Time delays, misaligned angles, and quiet disagreements between reality and its copy.
Childhood symbols, low-opacity ghosts
Subtle intrusions of childhood into sterile spaces. Cloud stickers, toy cars, and drawn lines that bleed through tiled walls and vending machine doors.
Short-form cinematic loops
Shots designed for Shorts and Reels, engineered to restart without a visible cut. Frames fold back into themselves so the loop feels like one continuous breath.
Many pieces live first as short-form video experiments. Watch ongoing releases on the LeiMai YouTube channel.
Open YouTubeA disciplined approach to building impossible spaces that still feel real.
Start with photography-level layouts: believable corridors, stairwells, restrooms, vending corners, and underground parking zones. Everything is grounded in real architecture and lighting.
Define strict rules for vanishing points, light sources, and geometry. Then introduce one controlled violation: a tilt, a delay, a color that does not belong. The space misbehaves, but the camera stays honest.
Calibrate each piece so the glitch lands in peripheral awareness. Viewers feel something is wrong before they can explain it, which drives replays, comments, and long-term memory.
Shots are engineered for short-form platforms: tightly timed changes, return states, and audio cues that allow seamless looping without cheap jump cuts or forced transitions.
Working with brands, musicians, and galleries on high-concept visual systems.
Custom perception glitches for stores, lobbies, and events. Ultra-real loops that turn ordinary corridors, elevators, or walls into quiet anomalies visitors never forget.
Liminal visuals for music videos, title sequences, and narrative projects. Spaces that behave like instruments, pulsing in sync with rhythm and emotion.
Curated collections of space studies for physical exhibitions and media art shows. Each piece arrives with clear notes on its visual physics and loop logic.
Serious inquiries only. If your project needs a space that feels real, but behaves like a dream, describe your idea in a few lines and include links to any existing material.
Single-operator lab. One brain, many rooms.
LeiMai runs a one-person visual physics lab focused on how everyday spaces can be reconstructed through AI. The work blends cinema, architecture, and generative models into a single research practice.
Instead of building characters or dialogue, each piece asks a simple question: what happens when a very normal room quietly stops following the rules it was built on?
The results live as short-form films, experiments in perception, and loop-ready installations designed for global audiences.
For commissions, collaborations, and serious research conversations.
Send a short, clear description of your idea, your timeline, and any links to reference material. Replies focus on projects that align with the lab’s visual physics direction.
