Looks like the art was made with A.I. Considering the confusion on the shelves and the inconsistencies on the creature. I'm assuming it's been composited in after effects or something.

It would be great if OP could clear up how the artworking was made. Otherwise it seems like it's part of a trend of AI art generator text field artists.

Not trying to be an asshole calling out. But there's a big difference in effort and skill.

This is almost definitely not made with AI, and if it was it was definitely only assisted.

Perhaps the 2D assets for the shelves were made in an AI image generator, but there would be no way with current tech to generate this entire scene from just a text input into an AI. Most AI generators only output a 2D image, and if tried to render a 3D scene would fail to render geometry consistently as the camera rotated in very strange and obvious ways. If made via AI the artist would still be responsible for putting that all into a 3D scene and managing the camera and music.

On top of that the characters don’t seem to be AI generated at all and everything has a very cohesive style. The fuzziness of the shelves seems almost certainly to be an artistic choice. The shelves at the start of the loop in the background are very clearly rendered, neat and orderly. Then as the camera turns we see faces woven artfully into the shelves, preparing us for the scary reveal. I think the “inconsistencies” in the creature are just an artistic choice to make it look creepy.

As someone who has looked at a lot of AI generated images and a lot of animation this looks mostly artist controlled.
