Ripple started with one question, what does water actually do to ostrich leather. Every frame in this campaign was built entirely with AI, from the packaging shot through the splash in motion, no camera, no studio, no water damage to a real bag. This is what AI production can look like when it is treated like a real shoot instead of a shortcut.
No water damage to a real bag is such a good hook for the pitch itself. Was the client fully on board with an all AI production from the start, or did it take some convincing to skip the physical shoot?
A self-initiated exploration of how AI-driven visuals can expand the range of beauty assets available to a brand, starting from clean studio-style references and pushing them into more editorial, surreal territory while keeping product and character consistency across the full set.
Workflow:
Base images built in Flora using a node-based setup. One node for the master composition, additional nodes for scale variants, detailcrops, and the studio-reference version. Character, makeup and lighting kept consistent across the set through the same reference chain. Final color, retouch and finishing in the Adobe suite.

Love the output!
This took a day to edit.
It went fast because we'd already done the hard part. We learned Athena's business and built a narrative spine. One spine spawns fifty assets, and this video is just one of them.
Now we make their content on a rolling basis.
Speed and quality. You can have both.
Great work!
