by Sijin Liu

Sijin Liu builds Bai yun's song about feeling trapped in one's own mind from recurring symbols: a white ant, grasping hands, lily of the valley and a ladybird.

Why this music video matters

Bai yun describes the song as written in a period of feeling lost, drifting from reality and trapped inside her own mind. Sijin Liu’s video answers that with a small, consistent symbolic vocabulary rather than a plot: according to Stash, a white ant for erosion from within, hands that tighten into shackles, lily of the valley, and a ladybird the singer associates with hope. The credits combine live shooting with generated imagery, so the problem is keeping a real performer’s likeness and a surreal language coherent across the song.

OMNI International AI Film Festival named it the Golden Sound: Music Video winner at OMNI 1.5 Hyperphantasia in Sydney on July 3, 2026.

Technique, schedule and budget

Stash reports that hand-drawn storyboards were fed directly into Dreamina for more controlled motion, that faces and hands needed manual adjustment to match the singer's likeness, and that insects were rendered at very high resolution with motion blur added in compositing. The video was completed in three weeks on a limited budget; the figure is not given.
