Title: We Were Never the Players
We Were Never the Players is a cinematic sci-fi fantasy short that reimagines the origin of football as a myth stretching across civilizations, worlds, and reality itself. Created with Renoise, I combined cinematic prompting, scene-by-scene refinement, dynamic camera movement, and atmospheric visual storytelling to build toward an unexpected final reveal that completely changes the audience's perspective.

Over the last few weeks a study project was developed combining everything that has been explored in art direction: visual identity, key visual, social media and motion design.
QUINTAL is a fictional modern pagode festival, built from scratch to practice the full process, from briefing and reference research all the way to the final pieces animated in After Effects.
No shows scheduled, no tickets on sale. But a lot was built with care: logo, palette, typography, individual lineup posts per artist, a flyer and motion.
The full case is published on Behance.

This deserves more than just liking, this deserves to be featured! 🏆 The visual storytelling across these assets is exactly what a modern web layout needs.
Project Title: Kafka’s Metamorphosis: A "Human by Design" Cinematic Adaptation
Project Description:
For this challenge, I wanted to push the boundaries of visual storytelling by adapting Franz Kafka’s iconic masterpiece, The Metamorphosis. The goal was to transform a heavy literary theme—existential dread, alienation, and sudden transformation—into a tight, atmospheric 30-second cinematic piece.
While AI tools provided the raw building blocks, my human artistic direction, taste, and curation were the ultimate forces that shaped the final outcome.
The "Human by Design" Crucial Decisions:
Visual Aesthetic & Lighting: Instead of accepting generic AI interiors, I rejected multiple outputs until I engineered a precise prompt that captured a decaying, claustrophobic bedroom utilizing German Expressionism and dramatic Chiaroscuro lighting.
The Climax Composition: The final shot at the frosted glass door was a deliberate creative choice to visually represent the painful psychological boundary between Gregor Samsa and the human world outside.
Sound Scaffolding: I manually layered and timed the audio assets. I blended a low-frequency dark ambient soundtrack with specific insect crawling and chitin scratching sound effects precisely timed to match the movement of the shadows, creating an unsettling audio-visual harmony that AI cannot replicate autonomously.
Envato Toolkit Used:
Gen AI (Photos & VideoGen): Crafted the core visual assets and animated them with subtle, haunting camera movements to bring the volumetric light rays to life.
Gen AI (Voice Over): Generated a deep, somber, and haunting narrative voice to deliver Kafka's opening lines with the right dramatic pauses.
Audio & Sound Effects: Sourced high-quality dark ambience and macro insect sound effects to build the psychological tension.
Please watch the workflow walkthrough video attached to see how these elements were curated and brought together!
