FIRST TIME ON GROUND — a fashion film shot across Egypt, except nobody went to Egypt.
The reference: a real brand film that took 7 days of shooting across the country. I reverse-engineered its edit down to the frame — one 4.5-second opening hold, cuts accelerating from 1s to 0.5s, a one-second strobe burst on the drop, then two seconds of stillness to close. That rhythm is why those films feel expensive.
Then I rebuilt the whole thing from zero:
• 14 scenes, directed from a full shotlist before generating a single frame
• Keyframes in Nano Banana Pro — one locked style system (crimson-amber silhouettes + high-contrast B/W for negative flashes)
• Motion in Seedance 2.0 — one decisive camera move per shot, the cutting rhythm lives in the timeline, not the prompt
• Title cards generated too, projector flicker included, in a single multishot pass
• Graded and cut in Premiere
Solo. Zero flights. The edit does 60% of the work — the footage does 40%.
This is the production model I bring to launch films and brand films: a real location shoot's craft, without the location. If you're launching something and want a film like this, Lets Talk!

🎥The Free,Portrait
In the middle of the night, inside the silent, modern halls of a museum art gallery, a young curator discovers a mysterious, nameless painting. The more he attempts to uncover the secrets hidden within its brushstrokes, the stronger he feels the presence of something that should have remained locked away.
Darkness begins to take hold, and the line between reality and nightmare slowly fades. Will he succeed in revealing the truth, or will this gallery museum become his final resting place?
Witness a thrilling tale of obsession and unspoken mysteries.
Fully generated with Renoise AI.
Blending art, obsession, and the blurring line between reality and nightmare makes for a truly unique concept. It feels like the start of a great psychological thriller.
Lens & Link is a mobile app for finding and booking photographers. It connects clients with photographers based on city, date, and shooting genre.
There are two registration paths. A photographer creates a profile with their name, genre, city, hourly rate, and portfolio. A client registers with just a name and email. The same account can function as both — a photographer can also book other photographers through the platform.
Each user has a personal dashboard split into two views: their incoming or outgoing bookings, and their profile. Bookings have statuses — pending, confirmed, cancelled, completed — and both sides receive email notifications at each stage.
Search works by city, date, and genre. The app has a bottom navigation bar for smooth movement between sections.

How it was built
I'm a designer, not a developer. I used Claude to generate the full app architecture from a text prompt — database structure, data types, workflows, and page logic. That became my starting point inside Bubble.
From there I worked through the bindings and workflow connections myself, using Bubble's built-in AI agent and the Claude browser extension as support. When something wasn't clear, I asked the agent directly. When I could figure it out — I did.
The UI and design decisions were mine throughout. The AI handled the logic foundation; I handled how it looks, feels, and flows.
For the judges:
This is my first experience with Bubble. During submission I discovered that the starter plan doesn't generate a shareable live link for mobile apps — something I wasn't aware of going in. I'm attaching an alternative link to the app preview below.
Thank you for your understanding.
Wow, it’s incredible
This character started with a simple idea: create a figure that tells a story without ever revealing its face. The hood, flowing cloak, ravens, and heavy fog all work together to create a sense of mystery, making viewers wonder who—or what—is hidden beneath the darkness. Instead of relying on bright colors or dramatic expressions, I focused on atmosphere, lighting, and small details to give the artwork a cinematic feel.
I created this piece using Recraft AI, which made it easy to turn my concept into a polished visual. From the realistic fabric textures to the layered lighting and environmental details, the tool helped me experiment quickly while keeping the final image consistent and high quality. For me, Recraft AI isn't just an image generator—it's a creative partner that helps transform ideas into artwork that feels immersive, expressive, and ready for real-world creative projects.
A character that tells a story without ever showing its face — that's a bold creative choice and it completely works 😶 The ravens + fog combo is giving serious dark fantasy vibes 🔥
