3 days of work. 1 minute of storytelling.
I just completed this spec ad for the Runway Big Pitch Challenge.
The goal was simple:
Create something that feels real, grounded, and memorable - without relying on heavy VFX.
Challenges:
⢠First time using Runway
⢠Finding the right product
⢠Building a story around a subtle moment
⢠Keeping performances natural
⢠Making AI feel cinematic, not artificial
Workflow:
ChatGPT - prompting
Flora AI - image generation
Runway - video generation
Photoshop - refinement
Premiere Pro - final edit
When everything feels unstable, some things shouldnât fail.
⢠2d
Loved the caption on the video lol, challenge contest that doesn't exist yet đ.
This is good!

đ Dragon in the Drawer.
A child drew a dragon.
đŹ And said:
âthe dragon is mad because the people woke him up⌠so now heâs burning all the buildings and theyâre running.â
đŹ I turned that into a film.
⨠Just a drawing, a sentence, and a name â
and it becomes a full story:
Character â Story â Animation â Film

â¤ď¸ This project is close to my heart.
I built it for a girl named Angel.
She was very ill when she was born. Our whole family prayed for her.
She survived â so we called her Angel, because thatâs what she felt like to us.
I havenât seen her in a whileâŚ
but I wanted to create something she could feel.

đą Because every child deserves to see their imagination come alive.
Not just as drawings⌠but as stories they can watch, feel, and remember â¨

This is such a clean execution of a creative workflow. You can really see the thought behind every interactionâsuper inspiring
