🎬 Introducing: THE CURSE OF THE FORGOTTEN
What happens when forgotten secrets refuse to stay buried?
I recently created The Curse of the Forgotten, an original African-inspired supernatural horror trailer, using AI video generation and cinematic storytelling.
The creative process involved developing the story concept, building suspense across five scenes, generating cinematic visuals with Ai tools, and bringing everything together through editing and sound design in CapCut.
My goal was to create more than just AI-generated clips. I wanted to build an immersive cinematic experience with atmosphere, tension, and a compelling storyline.
This project allowed me to explore AI filmmaking, creative direction, visual storytelling, and cinematic horror production.
I'm excited to share this piece with the Contra creative community!
I'd love to know: What makes a horror trailer truly memorable to you the atmosphere, the storyline, or the final reveal?

Thank you so much! 🥹🔥 I really appreciate it. Bringing these characters to life through AI animation was such a fun creative process!
That means a lot, thank you! ❤️ I'm always exploring new ways to push the creative possibilities of AI filmmaking. It's amazing connecting with creatives who appreciate the process as much as the final result! 😊

What if a brand identity was the only brief a video tool needed?
Dropped Altair’s world into Unit (closed beta) and got a 15s launch film with warm metals, hard shadows and one eagle.
Prompting felt closer to art direction than rendering.

that looks interesting
One product photo. That was the whole brief I gave myself.
I wanted to test how far a single packshot can go before you need a 3D model, a studio or a big production budget. So I made a 10-second spec ad for a baby cream. It's a concept piece, not a commissioned project.
A neon line traces the outline of the tube. Then the outline breaks into particles, and the particles assemble into the real product shot. After that, neon callouts point to what is already printed on the label: 0% perfume, certified organic. It ends on a clean packshot and the brand's own tagline.
The part I'm most curious about is the workflow. I didn't build this on a timeline. I directed it with Claude, and the motion is written in code. Every sound effect is tied to an event in the animation, so when the timing changes, the audio moves with it. I also kept the stems separate, which makes it easy to recut into other formats.
For small brands, the takeaway is simple. A strong vertical product video no longer starts with a shoot. It can start with the photo you already have on your website.
I'm still learning motion design, and every piece like this teaches me something new. I'd be glad to compare notes with anyone who is mixing AI and code in their creative production.

The glowing line drawing the shape on deep green with floating particles is an elegant opening for a packshot ad. At what point does the line turn into the real product?
