Here’s my entry for the Contra × Melius challenge ✨
“DragonDash” — a fun animated short about a cute dragon delivery rider in a fantasy medieval world.
Built using AI storytelling, storyboarding, and cinematic visual development.
One thing I really enjoyed while using Melius was how visual and iterative the workflow felt. Being able to build and refine shots step-by-step made it much easier to shape the story, mood, and cinematic direction of the short.

📝 Project Description
Luxury Beauty Campaign Suite — From One Product Photo
This project transforms a single skincare product photo (Giv White) into a complete luxury ad campaign using Melius AI. Upload one image, and the Melius agent automatically generates a full set of production-ready creative assets.
⚙️ Process Steps
Upload product photo — One pouch photo of Giv White as the main input
Brief the Agent — Directed the agent with a "Luminous Skincare" aesthetic using an ivory and soft papaya palette with wet stone textures and caustic light refractions
Agent builds the pipeline — Melius automatically constructed node by node:
Hero Still (1:1) for Instagram feed
Vertical Social Story for Reels/TikTok
8-second Cinematic Product Film with slow macro motion
Billboard Ad (21:9)
Branded Voiceover
Review & Refinement — Adjusted prompts at each node until the output matched the creative vision
Final output — Complete campaign suite ready to use
Feedback on Melius Experience
Melius completely changed the way I work. What normally requires a full creative team and weeks of production, I finished in a single session. The agent working node by node is incredibly powerful — I could monitor and refine every stage without losing creative control. The visual canvas is intuitive, collaborative, and honestly feels like having a creative director on demand.

🌙 SELENE 01 — AI Lunar Brand Identity System
Ever wanted to build an entire skincare brand
identity from a single brief?
That's exactly what I built with Melius.
One product concept → Mel builds the entire
workflow: brand DNA, hero product shots,
cinematic film, campaign poster, packaging,
app UI, typography — all in one connected canvas.
Lunar biotechnology serum.
Zero-gravity aesthetics.
One brief. Ten nodes. Complete brand.

Melius is the first generative tool that made me think like a creative director, Melius turned a 2-week brand identity project into one afternoon.
