Every frame of this video-experiment reflects my philosophy at editoria33: telling stories and reaching beyond the familiar to create something unique.
It’s a heartfelt tribute to the fishermen who safeguard their waters by removing plastic waste, while also showcasing the evolution of storytelling through AI.
From early memories of photographing fishing boats with disposable cameras and listening to tales from my seafaring ancestors, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the sea and the world of storytelling. “We have saltwater in our veins,” my grandfather would say — It became a bit of a mantra.
With this short film, inspired by the nostalgic 80s aesthetic of those childhood photographs, I wanted to experiment with the newest tools to bring the story and the fishermen to life by blending AI technology with genuine emotion and purpose.
