AI Cinematic Trailer for a Bestselling Audiobook ⭐
Completed in one working day, from concept to final delivery.
This trailer was created as my submission for Pocket FM's Prompt2Pixels AI Filmmaking Contest, where participants were challenged to transform a Pocket FM audiobook into a cinematic trailer using AI throughout the entire production pipeline.
For this project, I adapted Flameborne from its audiobook format into a 30-second cinematic trailer, handling every creative stage from story adaptation and scripting to AI cinematography, motion direction, voice-over, music, sound design, editing, and final post-production.
Rather than relying on a single model, I built a multi-model AI production workflow, using the strengths of different tools to maintain character consistency, cinematic continuity, emotional storytelling, and seamless transitions across independently generated scenes.

Great Work
I had this concept in my mind for quite some time, but giving it a shape using traditional 3D design methods would have cost a lot, in both time and expenses.
We have been trying many creative ways to replicate 3D animations using AI, and I'd say we have achieved almost 98% accuracy in terms of product design and concept visualisation.
Jewelry is one of the toughest product to work with using AI tools but we've been pretty successful at it with our custom made workflows and precise upscaling methods.
For the past 1.5 years, we have produced tons of AI Editorial videos, and now we're onto AI Animations, a disruption that will bring down the cost of 3D animations by at least 4 times, while having same level of perfection, and with unlimited creative scope.
This is a concept video we made for Cartier, entirely using AI, and the best part is that most of the video is one-shotted...crazy, no?
