About this film
Alien Race Rap is an AI-generated sci-fi music video about one of humanity's oldest disconnections: the gap between us and the unknown. Frontman Mel and his band rap their way through a tongue-in-cheek field guide to Earth's uninvited guests, the Greys, the Nordics, the Reptilians and the Anunnaki, each species staged in a dark, cinematic look with a teal-blue grade and film grain.
The film was created by a single human author working with a chain of generative tools: lyrics developed with Claude, characters designed with Google Nano Banana 2, the complete song and vocals generated with Suno, every shot animated with Kling 3.0, then edited in Premiere Pro and upscaled with Topaz Video AI. No live-action or stock footage.
Between human and machine, myth and image, Alien Race Rap plays with the connections we invent to make sense of what lies beyond us. Its story continues in the sci-fi short "ARR - Breakout".
The title, makers, description and prizes are as Artefact AI Film Festival's page gives them (read 2026-11-12); the film is its makers', played from its uploader's copy in YouTube's player, unchanged. The AI-made label, from its festival's own words, and which profiles see it are this site's own.
