AI Motion Commercial Project
1. Project Objective
The goal was to turn a high-end technical VFX concept into a polished, market-ready commercial.
Rather than creating visuals purely for impact, I used AI motion to clearly communicate a product benefit: adaptive footwear technology that forms around the wearer for a customized fit.
2. The Creative Challenge
Many AI-generated product videos look visually impressive but lack a clear story or recognizable brand identity. The main challenge was to ensure every shot supported the product concept.
The key priorities were:
Narrative Continuity: Presenting the liquid silver as an advanced functional material rather than a decorative visual effect.
Technical Cohesion: Combining dynamic camera movement with a clear manufacturing and material-transformation story.
Premium Brand Positioning: Creating a final product reveal and unboxing sequence that felt refined, desirable, and ready for a high-end retail campaign.
3. Creative Process
I structured the commercial around three key phases:
Phase 1: Establishing the Technology
The video opens with a “Material Fusion” interface that immediately positions the experience as an advanced technical process. This gives the audience context and builds credibility from the first frame.
Phase 2: Demonstrating the Product Benefit
Detailed macro shots show the liquid alloy weaving into the footwear’s fabric mesh. This visually communicates durability, flexibility, and a custom-molded fit without relying on lengthy explanations.
Phase 3: Creating a Tangible Product Moment
A match-cut transition moves from the digital transformation sequence into a physical product box and premium unboxing moment. This grounds the futuristic concept in a product customers can imagine purchasing and owning.
4. Final Outcome
Distinct Brand Identity: Developed the “FLUX-GEN” product name and the tagline “Molded by Motion.”
Consistent Visual Direction: Created a cohesive silver, green, and cyan color system across the full commercial.
High-End Visual Quality: Produced a hyper-realistic, cinematic result designed to feel suitable for premium advertising.
Commercial Value: The final concept can be adapted for product launches, social media campaigns, landing pages, retail displays, presentations, and investor pitches.

Augie has no fixed interface of its own. It lives inside whatever system a logistics team already runs, which created a specific design challenge: how do you show something visually when the product has no fixed home?
The answer was to build abstracted UI that puts the brand guidelines into practice as a working chat interface. We aimed to show founders what Augie does in one glance without requiring them to read a feature description or sit through a demo.
Both light and dark versions are shown side by side. This was also a styling exercise. The visual language defined here became the foundation for every use case animation across the product, giving the entire website a consistent feel even though Augie itself appears in many different environments.
For a product that lives inside other products, making it visible was the entire design job.
Great design always solves problems!
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.
