15 years directing commercials on ARRI sets in Karachi and the US.
Spent the last six months rebuilding the entire pipeline AI-native. Runway, Nano Banana 2, Blender, Suno, ElevenLabs, DaVinci — orchestrated from a MacBook with no GPU.
Documenting the build here every week. First Contra project goes out at cost in exchange for the case study rights.
Suno 6-mini (completely free for everyone) can compose a soundtrack from a single image or video 🤩
I gave it one of my visual projects and let it interpret the mood, colors, textures, and overall vibe into a soundtrack.
And the process was sooo simple. Upload the visual, hit create, and see what Suno hears.
It took me a couple to get to this one, but I looove the idea of adding sound as another layer to the creative process.
Try it with one of your own visuals and let me know what Suno comes up with. 🎧✨
That it read mood and color into a soundtrack instead of just matching genre tags is wild. Did the result land close to what you would've picked yourself, or did it take the project somewhere you didn't expect?
I really liked old documentary 2.5 style. So, I tried one myself and learned quite how a simple AI-Generated images can create such an engaging story for the viewers, it brings out immersion and engagement.
