Sometimes, the best way to introduce a product is with the last thing people expect.
For this cinematic Imperium White reel, I opened with a high-impact hook to capture attention instantly before transitioning into a premium product reveal.
The contrast between chaos and elegance was intentional, creating a story that keeps viewers watching while giving the fragrance a memorable entrance.
In short-form content, the first few seconds create curiosity. The rest of the reel gives people a reason to stay.
What do you think of this creative approach?

Partnered with Envato and Contra on this one. Envato is running a $50k creative challenge called Human By Design, and I made a short video breaking down what it is and why it's worth entering.
The brief: use Envato's stock assets and AI tools to build a creative project, then show the human decisions that shaped it. Not just the final render, the judgment calls along the way.
You get a free month of Envato Plus just for entering. If you've been looking for a reason to ship something and potentially get paid for it, this is a good one.

In 2025, I started creating a few tutorials on Instagram showing how to use AI in video production.
I was revisiting some files and found this video that I really enjoyed making.
The idea was simple: to show how, starting from just a few reference images, it’s possible to create an entire product video using AI.
