Dekh magar pyar se.
Look, but with love.
You'll see those words painted on the back of trucks all over Pakistan. Gold letters, a pair of painted eyes underneath, staring at whoever's behind.
That line isn't for the driver. It's for you, stuck behind a Bedford on the GT Road at 2 a.m., your headlights bouncing off chrome, bells swinging from the bumper, a peacock looking back at you in six colours of enamel.
These trucks carry flour, cement, someone's whole house from Peshawar to Karachi. Nothing says they have to be beautiful. Their owners make them beautiful anyway.
This is Phatta.
• The seek bar is chamak patti, the shiny bead tape truck painters use. Gold for what you've watched, silver for what's left, a brass ball for the playhead.
• Buttons sit in brass rings with cream icons, lettered the way a sign painter would.
• The time runs in sign-painter numerals.
• At night the LEDs twinkle, the bells sway, and the headlights brighten while the video plays.
Under the paint it's a real Video.js v10 player. Keyboard, captions, and fullscreen all work, and fullscreen keeps the controls.
Watch it, but with love.
Built in Lahore. Music in the demo video: Ahsan Javed.
Bohat khoobsurat kaam!
Thank you for the kind words, Vansita!

Hey there!
Farbspur is my entry for the Video.js Skins Design Challenge: a custom skin for the Video.js v10 player that gets out of the way of what you’re watching.
The player has no colour of its own. Its seek bar is built from the video: it finds the strongest picture changes and turns them into blocks of colour, so every film gets its own player and you can jump straight to a scene.
→ Glass appears only where your hand is: a single drop moving on spring physics
→ Skips count up as you press: +5s, +10s, +15s
→ Quality, speed, casting and theatre mode share one visual language
→ Full keyboard control, and reduced motion for anyone who asks for it
The film and sound in the video were generated for this project.

Created a vibrant, cinematic AI-powered product advertisement for Real Fruit Power Mango Drink. The video showcases the product through dynamic camera movements, realistic mango elements, refreshing liquid splashes, floating fruit pieces, and premium product shots. The creative direction focuses on capturing attention, highlighting the product, and delivering a refreshing visual experience in a short-form advertising format.

Cinematic AI Short Films That Make Your Story Unforgettable
Description:
Hi, I’m Sarmad Khan, an AI video creator with 5+ years of experience in visual storytelling, motion design, and digital craftsmanship, now combined with the latest AI video generation tools.
I create cinematic, emotional videos, from soft, heart-touching story films like this one, where a wounded soldier and a wounded lion cub find trust in the middle of a burning war zone, to big, high-energy productions with dynamic camera movement, dramatic lighting, and smooth scene transitions. Every video is built from scratch around your idea, with a clear story from the first second to the last, and a professional final polish, not random AI clips stitched together.
Nice concept
