It just keeps getting better.
Here's a short AI video for a brand launching a new stock product, a luxury bag built for movement. Work, airport, casual outings, one piece, every context. Mainly speaking to a male audience.
The goal wasn't just to show a bag. It was to shape it as more than a functional accessory as part of how a man carries himself through his day. The approach leaned into a flexible visual world that adapts to a fast, dynamic lifestyle, so the product reads through energy and behavior, not just design.
The demand was given, and the creative was produced to match, an adaptive foundation that can stretch across future campaigns, not just this one drop.
My question for fellow creators: do you prefer working from a strict script, or having total creative freedom?

Nice shot
The product-as-lifestyle framing comes through—the cuts make the bag feel like part of a moving day rather than a static packshot. I’d keep the opening beat slightly more product-led so the viewer anchors on the object before the mood takes over.

This one has 3 different animations exploring Promethist’s AI coaching platform, UI, and product features.
I’m also putting together a full case study for this project on Contra, where I’ll show more of the process, from the start to the final animation.

Looks amazing
I used to think the secret to better AI video was writing longer prompts.
This project changed how I approach prompting.
I took one of my actual Seedance 2.5 prompts and broke it apart. What looked like one detailed prompt was actually several different shots, camera movements, actions, and cinematic directions competing for the model's attention.
So I started treating AI video prompts more like shot direction:
SHOT → SUBJECT → ACTION → ENVIRONMENT → CAMERA → MOTION → LOOK → CONSTRAINTS
In this walkthrough, I show the real process, including how I structure the prompt, generate the scene, identify what isn't working, and refine the instructions.
The lesson is simple:
Don't make the prompt longer. Make the instructions clearer.
Think like a director, not a novelist.

Making a Fictional AI Vlog Feel Real
A creative experiment exploring how far generative video can go when the goal is to make a fictional vlog feel real — spontaneous, imperfect and believable rather than obviously AI-generated.
The project was inspired by the current wave of speculation around a possible Kanye West visit to Russia, as well as the unexpected viral spread of 'Silver Night' in Kanye West’s voice. Both became starting points for imagining an entirely fictional trip through Saint Petersburg.
The idea was to place a highly recognisable public figure into a completely different cultural and visual environment and explore how naturally the two could coexist on screen. Everyday locations, cultural details, movement and sound became part of the storytelling rather than simply serving as background.
The visual language deliberately moves away from the polished aesthetic often associated with generative AI, experimenting instead with a more naturalistic, vlog-like approach. The character needed to remain consistent across different locations and situations while the footage retained a sense of spontaneity and imperfection.
Created for the SYNTX AI challenge.
Impressive
