I’ve been working on a small retro-sci-fi project called FlashDrive 1987, where a 13-year-old kid in Arizona builds an autonomous car using 1980s tech.
This is Capsule 10, the moment the AI (“Chip”) speaks and the car moves for the first time.
I used a mix of Midjourney, Dall-e, Hedra, ElevenLabs and custom sound design. Happy to share details about the workflow, mistakes, tools, and the pipeline if anyone is interested.
