New spec drop: a cinematic launch film for a product I invented specifically to direct against — AXIOM ONE, a precision-milled titanium earbud.
Process notes for anyone building in AI video:
One 15s generation, but directed like a real spot: a locked global style prefix (cinematic / Kodak film emulation), a written product spec repeated verbatim, and three engineered cuts inside a single prompt.
Continuity across the wider anthology comes from reference stills generated first, then fed into every video generation — the product never drifts.
The "hyper-motion" feel is written as in-camera language: high-frame-rate capture, mixed shutter, engineered speed ramps — not "make it fast."
This is Film II of four. Same product, four completely different stories, one visual DNA.
Open for cinematic AI ad work — launch films, brand spots, product cinema.
What happens when you take a hero frame from an AI-generated video and push it back into an image edit model?
This weekend I took a still from a recent Seedance 2.5 piece I made —depicting a solo mountaineer in a harsh alpine environment — and ran it through Midjourney's new v8.2 edit model to see how far I could iterate on a single frame without regenerating from scratch.
Tested wardrobe swaps, environment shifts, and style transfers.
Video walkthrough of the process coming in a separate post.
Mote is a pre-order landing page template for hardware and physical products, built in Framer.
It covers the whole run-up to a launch: a cinematic hero, a scroll-scrubbed product film, a spec table, a reservation countdown, two pricing options, FAQ and testimonials, plus a reserve page with a working form, a terms page and a 404.
Who it is for: hardware startups opening pre-orders, wearables and consumer electronics launches, limited runs, and agencies building launch pages for product clients.
You get the template as an instant Framer remix link, or the bundle with the Figma design file. $79 one time, $119 with Figma.
I noticed that you have not only named it purpose forbphysical products, but also made it actually feel like physical on the design too. Great approach and design!
To be honest, this was one of the most complex projects of the year so far, but I'm really happy with the final video. Really grateful for the opportunity to work on it.
