Great restaurants don't always have a food problem. Sometimes they have a discovery problem.
That was the idea behind this ad I made for NexTable, a platform that connects restaurants worth discovering with people looking for somewhere worth visiting.
The story runs in three beats:
→ What the restaurant has built: the food, the mood, the experience
→ The tension: great experiences don't sell themselves
→ The bridge: NexTable
How I made it: the footage was generated with Seedance 2.0. Everything else was me. All the typography, timing, and compositing were done manually, which means the story, the pacing, and every "does this feel right?" call came from a human brain (mine, allegedly).
I'm not here to pretend AI isn't part of the toolkit, and I'm not here to let it drive either. It's a fast, slightly chaotic creative partner that helps me explore visuals quicker. I steer, it speeds me up, and the client gets something sharper in less time.
The client loved the final cut, and it's already getting a strong response on Instagram.
If you've got a brand with a story to tell and you want it made with good taste, a solid process, and a willingness to try new tools, let's talk.

Neon - Cyberpunk Kinetic Highlight Trails
The Visual Aesthetic: Think Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express mixed with Blade Runner 2049. Light sources—street lamps, neon signs, headlights, and glowing storefronts—leave soft, directional light streaks across the dark backdrop as the camera moves.
I started with five separate night-time clips and used invideo Editor's AI editing agent to transform them into one connected cinematic sequence. I wanted the bright practical lights in each shot to feel like they had a physical presence in the scene, leaving atmospheric trails as the camera and subjects moved.
The agent generated two versions of the effect, including an editable directional streak-and-glow approximation. I chose the editable version and set the source footage to 720p before generating the effect.
After seeing the initial result, I prompted the agent to make further changes, refining the highlight response, glow, intensity, and direction of the trails. I wanted the effect to feel less like a generic digital filter and more like photographic light persistence.
The final sequence gradually builds from subtle streaks into a stronger visual climax around the passing car and running shots, while keeping the original footage visible underneath.
Built and refined in invideo Editor using its AI editing agents.
