While the foundation is the work of incredible artists, my goal isn’t to improve it but to offer a different perspective. No AI music generation involved here, every added sound and arrangement is crafted by me using FL Studio. The AI visuals you see are just for accompaniment, I'm not going to be a filmmaker. All the songs and samples used in the video belong to their respective owners and I don't claim any right over them.
