I created this cinematic dragon battle as a high-end AI filmmaking experiment focused on realistic action, scale, character movement, and cinematic storytelling.
The goal was to make the dragons feel physically real rather than like game characters, while keeping the dragon rider fully integrated into the action—reacting to acceleration, controlling the dragon, fighting against the wind, and staying physically connected to every movement.
I focused on realistic aerial combat, dramatic lighting, believable fire and destruction, dynamic camera work, and a dark medieval fantasy atmosphere to create the feeling of a scene from a major feature film.
Created with AI video generation + cinematic direction, prompt engineering, action choreography, and visual storytelling.
work amazing
that's fantastic!
Thank you
This is cool bro
nice work bro
SFX is on cinema level!!🎦 🎧
Yeah, Thank you
The attention to physical movement and character interaction is what makes this feel cinematic. Getting the rider, dragon, camera, and environment to feel connected is a huge part of making AI-generated action believable. Great work!
Thank you 😊
Lovely
The weight and movement in this feels genuinely cinematic, not like typical AI video at all. Impressive work!
Thank you Tabish
This is nice
You just cooked 🐎
Thank you
The level of realism and cinematic direction here is insane. 🔥The dragon movement, rider integration, lighting, and destruction all come together beautifully. Truly impressive work
Thank you
The detail work on the rider reacting to the dragon's movement is what sets this apart. Getting AI to show that physical connection between character and creature, especially in aerial combat, is genuinely hard to pull off. This feels like a real feature film sequence.
Thanks Tabish
Looking awesome, It looks like I'm watching HOD.

Since October 2025, I’ve been working with Frontify on an ongoing series of onboarding and tutorial videos designed to help both new and existing users better understand the platform.
So far, we’ve created 75+ videos — and the library is still growing.
The workflow is fairly simple, but the challenge is in keeping everything clear, consistent, and engaging across such a large number of tutorials.
🎥 Screen Studio for recording
🎞️ After Effects for editing and animation
🙌 No AI used in the editing process
Every video is manually crafted with the goal of making product features and workflows easier to understand and follow.
It’s been a great long-term project and an interesting challenge in building a repeatable production process without letting quality or attention to detail slip.

75+ videos and still growing is a serious production pipeline. At that volume, are you templating the structure heavily to keep it sustainable, or does each video still get built mostly from scratch?

The product shots and overall realism make this feel much closer to a real commercial than a typical AI concept. I especially like how the visuals keep the product as the main focus while still making the environment feel cinematic.
The Lanterns of Old China
A cinematic AI animated short inspired by traditional Chinese culture.
I created this piece to explore storytelling through detailed 2D animation, combining traditional villages, architecture, food markets, tea culture, temples, festivals and everyday life into one continuous visual journey.
The biggest focus was maintaining character and environmental consistency while turning still images into cinematic animated sequences.
A small experiment in AI filmmaking, cultural world building and visual storytelling.
