AI AR Platform Explainer Video for Smart City & FinTech App
My role: AI Motion Designer • AI Image Generation • Video Editing • AR Visual Design
Created a premium AI-generated promotional explainer video for an AR platform designed for smart cities and public spaces. The project included photorealistic AI image generation, cinematic image-to-video animation, realistic Saudi locations, AR visual effects, character consistency, motion design, sound design, music, voice-over integration, typography, professional editing, and color grading. The goal was to demonstrate how users explore, earn rewards, and redeem them through an immersive AR experience.

Can AI really juggle 10 REFERENCES? Let's put it to the test!! 👀
👁️ Goal: Create a Halloween poster: a girl doomscrolling in bed while Munch's Scream screams right behind her, and she doesn't notice, the title is "Screen time: 7h 42m. Time left: 0.", while mixing drastically different styles in my refs (anime, baroque chiaroscuro, Munch's expressionism, pixel art).
⚒️ Model: FLUX 3 Image Klein
🌪️ Process: I generated my refs (I love complicating my life yes) and garthered the original paintings, fed it to Flux with a detailed prompt on how to use each of the ref I uploaded.
I uploaded the two best results I got, but it was a few back and forth to get every detail correct! My rating on how the model respected each of my refs (average of both outcomes):
- Palette 5/5
- The Scream 3/5
- De La Tour lighting 3/5
- Paper texture 5/5
- Face 5/5
- Pose 5/5
- Velvet & linen 3/5
- Sky 2/5 (swapped my swirls for a sunset on the first one)
- Title 5/5
- Sketch 4/5 (because why was she filled on the second one!!)
✨ Overall rating: 4/5
✍️ Takeaway: Keep the refs very specific and your prompt very detailed. The model doesn't understand "vibes" (the paint swirls became a sunset) only but is very good at following precise instructions (pixel title was perfectly copied), unlike MidJourney for example which is very good at interpretingvibes.
Do you prefer outcome 1 or 2? 😱
Great job Hanna🎉🔥
What happens when you give an old piece a dark mode and a pair of sunglasses? 🕶️
I took a piece from my portfolio and ran it through Krea 3 to see how far I could push it while keeping the original composition.
Before → light and daytime.
After → dark mode, with sunglasses.
Where it helped: quick edits that kept the composition intact, making it easy to explore a different mood.
Where I’d still go by hand: final color balance, lens reflections, and those tiny details that make everything feel intentional.
Before or after? Tell me which one you’d keep and what you’d edit next 👇

MOTIF — From Words to Pixels to Code
What if you could see your dream website before writing a single line of code, then turn that vision into something real?
That's why I built Motif, an AI-powered visual design and website creation studio, built on Base44.
We turn words into pixels. Then we turn those pixels into real HTML and CSS.
Most AI website builders take a prompt and immediately generate a website. You get what the AI decides, and often spend ages prompting, regenerating and fighting to get something that resembles what you originally imagined.
I wanted to change that.
Motif puts visual creativity before code.
You start by describing your idea in plain English. Motif explores different visual directions, generating concepts that let you actually see what's possible before committing to a design.
Once you find something you love, Motif transforms that approved visual into a real, responsive website built with HTML and CSS. Not a flattened image pretending to be a website, but actual editable elements.
And that's where Motif becomes more than an AI generator.
Inside the visual studio, you can select elements, change typography, colours, spacing, imagery and layouts, preview desktop and mobile versions, and refine the design without starting over.
One of my favourite features is Shuffle, which can dramatically reimagine a design's composition and styling, allowing you to explore new creative possibilities without writing another lengthy prompt.
I also wanted people to understand what Motif could do before signing up or waiting for AI generation. So I built a product-focused homepage featuring real application footage, an explainer video and editable sample projects visitors can explore.
Why I built it
I've spent years working across software development, 3D design and interactive experiences, and I've always been fascinated by the gap between having a creative vision and actually bringing it to life.
AI has made building software more accessible, but great design still requires exploration, experimentation and creative control.
I believe AI should expand your imagination, not replace your creativity.
Motif is my attempt to bring those worlds together: the freedom of visual design, the intelligence of AI and the flexibility of real web development.
It's designed for entrepreneurs, developers, designers and anyone who's ever had a great idea but struggled to make it look the way they imagined.
Built with Base44, Motif demonstrates how far a creative application can go beyond traditional no-code tools.
Motif isn't about generating another template. It's about making something unmistakably yours.
Imagine it. Shape it. Make it real.
