AI Book Trailer — Original Fiction Project
A cinematic, realistic book trailer created for an original fiction project currently in development.
I developed the visual direction and built the trailer using an AI-assisted workflow across Seedance, Nano Banana and Kling, with a strong focus on realism, character consistency, atmosphere and cinematic continuity between shots.
The process involved generating and refining visual references, creating consistent environments and characters, directing motion across multiple AI video models, and shaping the final sequence through editing, pacing, sound and visual rhythm.
Rather than treating each generated shot as an isolated image, the goal was to make the piece feel like a cohesive live-action trailer with its own visual world.
The book itself is still in development, so the trailer focuses on mood, tone and cinematic identity rather than revealing the full story.
