Growing old together by your side. A gay love story.
This is a gay love story of a young man dreaming of finding love, and meeting his husband during cherry blossoms. They do everything together, growing old together, and sharing their lives together.
I made this thinking about the love that Tim & Rod have for each other, and the Instagram posts that they post, sharing their love with the world around them.
I’d like to dedicate this video to all the gay men who are in a relationship — may you grow old with your partner, lover, husband, and enjoy the love that you share together.

This is a remake of the “By your side” video posted yesterday. It uses a similar prompt and workflow, though I have tweaked the camera movement to flow in a rotating fashion, instead of an infinite zoom — so as give proper focus to the subjects.
Additionally, I have modified my prompts and keyframes so that I was finally able to age the couples appropriately as the video plays — as I had originally intended.
The video is intended to be viewed in square format, and I have decided that I won’t make a cropped version for Instagram, so that you get to experience my intention as fully as possible. Viewing this in square format is especially important given the motion of the camera movement.
Stills from the video will only be available on my site. Link in bio.
