I created The Great Escape, an AI-powered cinematic action-comedy about a couple desperately racing to reach CapCut World LA, encountering chaotic chases, surreal obstacles, and unexpected adventures along the way.
I built it to demonstrate how AI, creative storytelling, detailed prompting, cinematic visuals, and video editing can transform a simple event promotion into an entertaining, visually ambitious short film that feels like a miniature Hollywood blockbuster.

AI can generate visuals. But can it create a feeling?
A little cinematic escape to Paris. 🇫🇷
From the lighting and atmosphere to the composition and storytelling, every frame was crafted to capture the feeling of a luxury campaign.
This is the kind of visual storytelling I love creating.
More than just generating. Directing, crafting and bringing a vision to life. 🎬
The pale blue suit against the blue hour Eiffel Tower and warm bokeh lights gives it a real luxury campaign feel. How many generations did the car shot take to stay consistent?
What if your portfolio told your design journey like a little game?
I built mine as a 3D world you explore instead of scroll. Temple doors open into my story, Da Vinci's flying machine carries you between floating islands, and every section is a place, not a page.
Honestly it's the most creative thing I've made lately, and it's still a work in progress. More of the journey is coming.
What I did: concept, art direction, 3D world design, interaction design and an AI-assisted build.
Fly through it at designedbysaf.site and tell me what you'd add next.
The flying machine is such a fun idea.
ORIGIN → BOUND | A Motion Design Experiment
An idea begins as something small. It takes shape, comes to life, and gradually builds its own world. But what happens when the very boundaries that define it become the things that hold it back?
ORIGIN → BOUND is a personal motion design project exploring the contrast between creation, freedom, and confinement. Through abstract shapes, geometric forms, lighting, and movement, I wanted to tell a visual story that transitions from energy and creation to restriction and stillness.
The goal was to create something that communicates a feeling without relying on characters or dialogue. Every movement, transition, shape, and lighting detail plays a part in building the narrative and creating a cinematic visual experience.
Created entirely in Adobe After Effects, this project gave me an opportunity to experiment with shape animation, geometric compositions, wireframe elements, lighting, transitions, and sound design while exploring a more minimal and atmospheric visual direction.
Beyond the final visuals, this project represents my approach to motion design: combining thoughtful concepts, strong visual composition, and purposeful animation to turn ideas into engaging experiences.

Showing the preview, the final animation and the After Effects timeline in one frame is a smart way to explain the process. Did you place the particles by hand or with a script?
