The Foundry — AXIOM ONE (15s spec spot)
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.

How do you brand a ritual instead of a product?
Trenti is a premium concept store in Buenos Aires. Fire pits, artisan cutlery, curated gifts. Not a restaurant, not a BBQ brand. A store built around one idea: Fuego & Materia. Fire and matter.
So the identity is literal about it. Embers on raw concrete, a restrained serif, a palette pulled from the materials themselves (paper, iron, wood, charcoal) instead of the saturated orange every fire brand defaults to.
The exploration ran across Nano Banana, ChatGPT and Claude for prompt-building. Three engines to generate directions fast. But the final moodboard was curated and composed by hand.
AI made generating moodboard directions free. So where does our value actually live now? Do you let clients see your raw explorations? 👇
This is massive
In 2025, I started creating a few tutorials on Instagram showing how to use AI in video production.
I was revisiting some files and found this video that I really enjoyed making.
The idea was simple: to show how, starting from just a few reference images, it’s possible to create an entire product video using AI.
Nice
Partnered with Envato and Contra on this one. Envato is running a $50k creative challenge called Human By Design, and I made a short video breaking down what it is and why it's worth entering.
The brief: use Envato's stock assets and AI tools to build a creative project, then show the human decisions that shaped it. Not just the final render, the judgment calls along the way.
You get a free month of Envato Plus just for entering. If you've been looking for a reason to ship something and potentially get paid for it, this is a good one.
