Cinematic Dragon Integration - VFX & Video Editing
Goal: The objective was to seamlessly integrate a high-quality 3D dragon into a real-life environment, focusing on realistic movement and lighting.
Challenges: The main challenge was matching the camera movement with the dragon's flight path to ensure it didn't look "pasted" on top of the footage.
Solution: I used advanced motion tracking and color grading techniques to match the environmental lighting. The final result is a cinematic scene that demonstrates professional-level compositing and visual storytelling.

My Creative AI Video Workflow:
Claude for creative ideation, Google Whisk for visual references, Flora for motion prototyping, then Runway or Veo 3 for final footage generation.
Each tool handles a specific stage of the pipeline, prototype cheap, generate strategically, then bring it all together in After Effects. The real skill isn't using AI for everything, it's knowing when traditional methods still win.
great flow! i haven't tried google whisk yet but looks promising!
What if you could turn a simple product into a cinematic ad?
Creating high-end product commercials usually requires a full team, expensive equipment, and complex editing.
So I built Cinematic Product Reveal: AURA — a simple AI workflow that transforms any product into a cinematic advertisement.
Starting from a basic product image, the system generates a structured visual story:
Atmosphere (void & tension)
Energy build
Product reveal
Final cinematic impact
No actors. No studio. Just a clean, repeatable system.
In this demo, I used a simple perfume image and turned it into a sci-fi luxury commercial.
The best part?
This workflow can be reused for any product — fashion, tech, sneakers, and more.
🎬 Watch the workflow in action above.
This is really well done.
What I like most is that it doesn’t just look cinematic , it also feels like a workflow someone could actually build on and reuse. That makes it much more valuable than a one-off result.
A warm, family-safe illustrated storytelling sample built around scene progression, character interaction, and gentle AI-assisted visual continuity.
I created this piece to explore a softer, more watchable animated direction using simple visual beats: setup, discovery, action, and emotional payoff.
