Sharing Baby’s First Flight for Contra’s Retrofuturism topic ✈️
I made this as a small 60s–70s-inspired film about the way the future used to be imagined: optimistic, elegant, slightly strange, and full of wonder.
The piece looks at air travel through that old idea of tomorrow — polished surfaces, soft colour, cinematic nostalgia, and a sense that technology might still feel magical.
Made with AI video tools, but intentionally pushed away from the glossy “AI look” toward something more tactile, aged and filmic.
Built this over a weekend as an experiment with AI-assisted design and development.
Duo Case is an absurd concept for turning two iPhones into a very unofficial foldable iPhone. The goal was to see how far AI could accelerate the process while keeping creative direction, design decisions and final execution in human hands.
Never really thought my first features on Contra would feel this reassuring. Seeing both Direct Design and Nexterra get picked by the Contra team honestly means a lot.
There’s always that little doubt when you put your work out there, wondering if it’s good enough, if the right people are seeing it or if you’re moving in the right direction.
So this was a really nice reminder to keep going and keep making things I believe in.
Thank you to the Contra team for noticing the work and for the little bit of encouragement I didn’t know I needed. 🫶
