I’ve been exploring how AI can support character-driven storytelling — not just generate visuals.
For this animated project, I developed a story around three Chinese domestic cats, combining character design, cinematic visual direction, animation, editing, original music, and multilingual subtitles into one creative workflow.
The biggest challenge was consistency: keeping each character recognizable while maintaining the same visual world, personality, and storytelling rhythm across scenes.
AI accelerated parts of the production process, but the storytelling decisions — pacing, humor, shot selection, music, and emotional beats — still needed deliberate creative direction.
I’m continuing to refine this workflow for short films, branded storytelling, and social content.
Curious how other creatives are balancing AI generation with human creative direction.
ahaha nice!
SAINI EDITS — Video Editing Showreel 2026 🔥
Not every company video has to feel corporate.
For Oaky, the team recorded their own Christmas song and filmed employees performing it across multiple clips.
I brought everything together in the edit, synchronized the performances with the track, built a product focused opening around the Oaky app, and added festive captions to give the video more personality.
The result was a fun Christmas piece that still felt connected to the brand and product. 🎄
Great work!
