Becoming a Forest
AI-Generated Music Video
Tools used: Kling (AI video), MidJourney, Gemini (AI visuals)
For this project, I created an AI-generated video based on the song “숲이 되어 (Becoming a Forest)-Robin”.
The entire visual narrative is driven by the lyrics, which use the forest as a metaphor for longing.
It begins on a barren planet, where a girl loses the person she loves. Her longing becomes a seed. The seed becomes a tree, and the tree slowly grows into a forest that covers the entire planet.
In the end, the forest inside her heart connects with the forest of the outer world, revealing that the outer forest actually comes from her inner world.
This project shows how longing grows inside a girl and slowly spreads into a forest that covers her entire world.
More Details
The story begins on a barren, lifeless planet.
A girl has lost the person she loves. Her sadness and longing turn into a small sprout growing out of the empty ground.
The sprout slowly grows into a tree. Its roots spread outward, and gradually, more and more trees rise from the surface. Eventually, the entire planet becomes covered by a dense forest born from her longing.
Lost inside this unfamiliar forest, the girl wanders in fear and confusion. Suddenly, glowing particles appear and begin to guide her.
Following this light, she arrives back at the very first tree—the origin of everything.
By now, this tree has grown so tall that it connects to the sky, far higher than all the others.
Guided by the light, she climbs the tree and sits on one of its branches.
From this height, she once again sees the full view of the planet and witnesses the cycle of sunrise and sunset, symbolizing the return of hope.
At this moment, the glowing particles gather into the silhouette of the person she misses.
They sit together briefly, before the light dissolves and drifts away into the distance.
In the final sequence, the girl lies quietly on the grass.
This time, a new sprout grows directly from her heart.
It becomes vines, spreading outward from her chest and connecting with the roots of the entire forest.
Suddenly, a luminous portal opens at her heart.
The camera enters this tunnel of light and vines, revealing that all the glowing roots are continuously connected, leading toward a distant exit.
When the camera comes out of the tunnel, we discover that these radiant vines are connected to the crown of the highest tree on another forest-covered planet—visually identical to the outer world.
The highest tree sends its glowing vines through the inner passage of her heart and into the external world.
In the end, the inner forest connects with the outer forest, revealing that the forest covering the planet is actually an extension of her inner emotional world.
