Echoes of Déjà Vu

You feel like you've been here before.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Some moments make you stop in your tracks.

Living it for the first time, yet it feels like it already happened.

Familiar, but hard to explain; repeating, but not exactly the same.

A single gesture,

A stretch of road,

A perfectly timed ray of light.

Like memories softly overlapping.

For this theme, use music and visuals to craft this subtle illusion.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✨ Inspiration Guide

(The following are for inspiration only, not mandatory rules.)

Direction 1｜Visual Repetition × Subtle Shifts (Most Recommended)

The same shot or scene drops in twice, maybe even more.

But each time, there's a tiny difference:

A movement slows down,

Someone suddenly appears or vanishes,

The light quietly shifts.

The music can loop, or drift slightly on replay, pushing that true "déjà vu" feeling.

Example (type in the chat box):

"I want to create a looping visual where every replay is slightly different, leaving a familiar vibe."

Direction 2 | Time Glitches × Loop Structures

Time feels gently stuck.

Someone walks down a path, only to snap right back to the start; an action plays on repeat.

Your visual flow can form a closed loop:

Start → Development → Back to start.

Let the music loop too, making it impossible to tell if it ever truly ended.

Example (type in the chat box):

"I want to make an MV where time feels like it's looping, ending right where it began."

Direction 3 | Memory Flashbacks × Emotional Layers

The present and the past crossing paths.

The exact same scene: warm in the past, yet quiet or perfectly empty today.

Through flashbacks, double exposures, and cross-cutting, let the two timelines softly overlap.

Layer your audio:

One track for reality, one for the memories, slowly weaving together.

Example (type in the chat box):

"I want to make an MV that cuts between the past and present, carrying a strong nostalgic vibe."
