Hello, World. This video is kind of personal. I stopped making videos ten years ago. I was doing countless corporate gigs, and the whole thing started to feel tedious and soulless. I always wanted to tell stories; that's why I studied filmmaking. Discovering generative AI felt like making my first short film, and playing with it since then has opened up a world of possibilities.
So the story references different stages. The macaw is the public that's apprehensive about AI and doesn't want anything to change. The raccoon is that moment of discovery. The sacred chamber of gods is what I feel right now: both awe and fear of what AI can do, or could become. And being propelled to LA, crash-landing in the mecca of filmmaking, is the cherry on top.
Why a mango tree? We have a macaw at home, and she is so protective of her mango tree. I don't think AI could ever evoke how crazy and loud she screams when an unknown person or animal gets close to it.

Making each animal stand for a stage of how you feel about AI is what turns a challenge entry into a short film. The audience follows feelings, not tools. The macaw is the strongest choice because it's real: a sound and a habit you know from home that no prompt would invent. In...
Thank you Irkham, the macaw shots were fairly easy. The orb entering LA was the one that took the most tries.
Thank you for your kind words, Alaa! I wish you all the best too 🙏
Nailed it.
Thank you!

Created a vibrant, cinematic AI-powered product advertisement for Real Fruit Power Mango Drink. The video showcases the product through dynamic camera movements, realistic mango elements, refreshing liquid splashes, floating fruit pieces, and premium product shots. The creative direction focuses on capturing attention, highlighting the product, and delivering a refreshing visual experience in a short-form advertising format.
An Original Fantasy Series Colaboration Request
Hi, Contra Family!
Today, I'm excited to share an early glimpse into an original fantasy film series I've been scripting and developing for some time, which has finally moved into active production.
This project brings together my years of experience in 3D animation, visual storytelling, and creative direction with the rapidly evolving possibilities of AI-powered filmmaking.
My ambition is to push beyond the limitations of conventional AI-generated videos and explore what becomes possible when AI technology meets professional filmmaking principles. I want to create something that feels like a fully realized cinematic production, with compelling narratives, believable performances, immersive environments, and breathtaking visual storytelling. Through this series, I'll be exploring and showcasing the capabilities of AI in several areas of film production, including:
Cinematic Storytelling & Realistic Drama: Compelling narratives, believable character interactions, and emotionally engaging performances.
Advanced Cinematography: Intentional camera language, dynamic movements, composition, and cinematic lighting.
Creature Design & Mythology: Bringing original mythical creatures and fantastical species to life with realistic anatomy, movement, and intricate details.
Physics & Motion Simulation: Convincing physical interactions, environmental effects, and complex action sequences.
Production & World Design: Immersive environments, atmospheric settings, and cohesive fantasy worlds.
Visual Effects & Colour Grading: Sophisticated VFX, magical elements, simulations, and professional cinematic finishing.
And this is only a glimpse of what I have planned!
This is actually the first time I'm publicly sharing this project, and I'd love to use this opportunity to explore an official creative collaboration with @FLORA or @Melius.
Throughout development, I've been using both platforms interchangeably across different stages of my filmmaking workflow, from visual development and character creation to cinematic production.
Having explored their capabilities firsthand, I believe this series presents an exciting opportunity to demonstrate what these technologies can achieve when combined with professional creative direction and filmmaking experience.
My proposal is to develop this into an original AI-powered fantasy series, potentially as a Flora Original or Melius Original, depending on which platform is interested in partnering on the project.
Why This Matters
AI filmmaking is still in its early stages, but its potential to transform the film industry is enormous. We're already seeing platforms explore original AI-driven productions, with projects such as Magnific's Kavan the Kid demonstrating how AI platforms can become more than just creative tools.
I believe we're approaching a new era where independent filmmakers, animators, and storytellers can bring ambitious cinematic visions to life through AI.
I want this series to contribute to that evolution by exploring not just how impressive AI-generated visuals can look, but how far we can take storytelling, realism, cinematography, and complete cinematic experiences.
A Call to the Contra Community ❤️
I'd love the support of @Contra HQ in helping this project reach the right people at Flora and Melius . If you're part of either team, or can help facilitate an introduction, I'd genuinely appreciate the opportunity to start that conversation.
To the wider community, please like, share, and engage with this post to help bring visibility to the project.
I'm also open to partnerships with individual artists, filmmakers, AI creators, and creative studios interested in being part of this journey.
This is more than an experiment with AI tools. It's an opportunity to combine creative experience, emerging technology, and original storytelling to build something truly ambitious.
The future of filmmaking is unfolding before us. I'd love to be part of shaping it.
Thank you, everyone! ❤️🚀
Created a 3D style AI product advertisement showcasing an automatic pet food dispenser in a realistic home setting.
The goal was to present the product in an engaging way, demonstrate its everyday use, and help potential customers understand its value.
I combined AI generated visuals, product focused storytelling, scene transitions, and video editing to create a polished promotional video that makes the product more appealing to potential buyers.
Opening on the cat stretching in warm window light is a great hook, the home feels real before the product shows up. At what second does the dispenser appear?
