Day of Arafah
In the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah I wanted to make a short reminder of the Day of Arafah: a quiet film that opens on dawn over the mountain and ends with a rising prayer. A personal project built with AI from the first word to the last shot, then given its soul through motion and sound.
Before dawn
It began with a simple question: how do I remind people of the Day of Arafah before it passes? I had a first picture of the scenes in mind, but AI kept surprising me with new paths, so I let the experiment lead the story.
A voice before the picture
I wrote the script in conversation with ChatGPT and edited it until it was short and moving. Then I searched for a voice to carry it, trying many in Google AI Studio until I found a deep, calm one that felt like that day.
Not every day is like the others. There is a day when the gates of heaven are closer.
Scene by scene
I split the text into connected scenes and built them one by one on Magnific Spaces across several models. The hardest were the aerial shots of Arafah: close to reality, yet free of anything inappropriate.
When the images began to breathe
Kling gave the images their first movement; After Effects slowed them to the pace of reflection. There I set the type over them and weighed each scene against the voice.
The final touch
I added the sound of wind and sand and a soft nasheed in the background, and mixed it in Premiere. Then the film was ready.
