I created this 30-second piece to portray a vampire-hunter story featuring an action scene with a unique approach. It was also a great opportunity to try Seedance 2.5 capabilities and the director mode in CapCut. This sequence belongs in the same universe as a long-format series. Also, it works as an stand alone back story for the character, in which some of the scenes will be used as flashbacks and will contribute to the development of that character through the series.
New cover, new visual taste test.
As a visual director, the hardest choice is choosing between your own creations.
Two covers. Two directions. One choice.
The name comes from Roman military rank. The aquilifer carried the standard — the one thing the legion couldn't afford to drop.
That single word killed my first direction before I'd finished it.
No polish. No faceted stones.
Hand-cast, asymmetric pieces, tool marks left visible.
Photography went extreme macro, unretouched skin, hands gripping the face instead of posing near it.
Color system: two darks instead of one dark + accent.
#1E1E1E and #27331A let the brand shift register — campaign world to product world — without ever going light.
#D9DED4 stays structural only. Never a fill.
Motion rule on the site: diagonal masks only. No rotation, anywhere.
A spinning object reads as being shown off. This brand is about weight, not display.
Same angle, same easing, top to bottom.
One idea, held all the way through — name, object, photography, palette, motion.
That's the whole pitch for how I work.
