OmniTrans.cam
“OmniTrans.cam” is a fashion film blending live-action and AI moving images, exploring the topic of multiple digital identities that individuals hold across social platforms.
Story follows a transgender Camgirl / DJ whose past digital self, left online before her transition.
She never made peace with this past, now her former digital self returns to hunt her down.
Director’s Statement:
In today's hyper-digital world, we all inhabit multiple selves—fragmented, filtered, and optimized—across different platforms.
A LinkedIn profile, a private Instagram, a curated TikTok persona—each of these is a version of ourselves, shaped by both personal desire and platform logic.
For trans individuals, this fragmentation becomes even more charged: our past digital footprints may no longer align with who we are becoming.
What happens when an outdated version of ourselves refuses to disappear?
"omnitrans.cam" is born from this friction. It tells the story of a transgender Camgirl/DJ whose pre-transition digital self re-emerges like a ghost in the machine.
This haunting is not just metaphorical—it reflects the real dissonance many of us feel when our online pasts clash with our present identities.
A hybrid of live-action footage and AI-generated moving images, the film lives at the intersection of fashion, sci-fi, and psychological horror.
This combination isn't just stylistic—it's conceptual.
The AI aesthetic embodies the uncanny logic of algorithmic identity, while fashion becomes both armor and language for survival.
As a filmmaker working at the intersection of digital media and visual storytelling,
I’m fascinated by how technologies not only record our identities but also reconstruct them—sometimes against our will.
“omnitrans.cam” is both a speculative fiction and a very real portrait of what it feels like to be seen and shaped by systems we don’t fully control.
Ultimately, this film invites the viewer to consider: In the age of algorithmic intimacy, who really owns our image?
And can we ever truly log off from a version of ourselves once it’s been uploaded?
Visual metaphors：
The film uses rich visual metaphors throughout. One recurring symbol is the pink gun, referencing the “angry inch” from Hedwig and the Angry Inch—a metaphor for a failed gender reassignment surgery and the emotional and physical struggles it represents. In omnitrans.cam, the pink gun reflects Homogenic’s shifting mindset. The first time it appears, she uses it to light a cigarette, symbolizing her avoidance of inner fear. The second time, as cyberspace shifts from black to color, the gun marks her beginning to confront that fear. The third time, now grown pink fur, she uses it to kill the two extreme versions of herself—signifying her final breakthrough.
The film also features the seven deadly sins, visualized as bosses within cyberspace video game levels. Generated from screenshots of the protagonist’s dance movements. To evolve, Homogenic must confront and accept these human flaws to become a more integrated self.
