The ₦5 Million is a cinematic 3D animated storytelling project created to demonstrate my ability to combine AI-generated visuals, storytelling, editing, sound, pacing, and emotional direction into a complete video.
I developed the visual storytelling around Nigerian characters and environments, using cinematic compositions, character-driven scenes, emotional expressions, and modern Nigerian settings to create a story that keeps viewers engaged from beginning to end.
A cinematic automotive experiment created without a camera, physical car, studio, or production crew.
The goal was to explore how far AI + art direction could go in creating a premium automotive design film.
The Approach
Rather than asking AI to generate one complete video, I treated it like an actual production.
I broke the Porsche 911 GT3 R into individual visual moments — carbon bodywork, headlights, front aero, wheels and brakes, side profile, rear wing, and the final hero reveal.
Each shot was individually directed with attention to camera movement, lighting, reflections, materials, composition, and consistency.
The individual sequences were generated using Higgsfield, then brought into Runway to assemble, refine the pacing, transitions, and final film.
The Challenge
Generating a beautiful AI shot is relatively easy.
Making seven independently generated shots feel like they belong to one cohesive film is where it gets interesting.
The challenge was maintaining consistency across the car, materials, lighting, camera language, and overall visual direction while building a natural progression from detail → form → full reveal.
Tools
Higgsfield — AI video generation
Runway — Editing & sequence assembly
AI + Art Direction — Shot planning, prompting & visual consistency
A personal exploration into how AI can become part of the creative production process — not replacing direction, but expanding what can be produced from an idea.
Shoe Sole Breakdown, 3D Product Animation
A 3D animation built around a single shoe, opening on the complete product before transitioning into a full exploded view of the sole.
Each layer of the sole construction was modeled and separated individually so the breakdown reads clearly, showing how the shoe is actually built rather than just how it looks from outside.
Built for a client project, useful reference for footwear and gear brands who want their construction and materials explained visually rather than just photographed.
