Beyond the Background
I pushed this creative beyond environmental rendering and into mixed-media storytelling.
Generating a striking background is easy. Building a cohesive 15-second commercial with product placement, character animation, dramatic scale changes, and a live-action reaction is where the real work begins.
For this edit, I focused on:
🏙️ The Gummy Metropolis
A stylized, festival-inspired city filled with distinct mascot personalities—from DJs to skateboarders.
🪡 Seamless Pacing
Rapid focal-length shifts synchronized with a heavy synth-pop track to maintain high energy from start to finish.
🎯 Product Framing
Keeping the Fizzbears packaging as the hero asset at both the beginning and end of the journey.
Great commercial work is not defined by the tools behind it. It is defined by how seamlessly every element works together to stop the scroll.

Animated Event Video Poster | Tag der Clubkultur
Dynamic motion design and video poster created for the "COREspecs" event as part of Berlin's official Tag der Clubkultur festival series.

Software & Tools: Adobe After Effects (motion design, compositing, visual effects, and expression-driven audio reactivity), Suno AI (custom industrial/EBM sound design and score).

the yellow train going across the top is my favourite bit. is that real footage or did you animate it?
First video ad for thegoatdebate.io (my Messi vs Ronaldo paid poll — $1 = 1 vote, you get a card), made entirely in Higgsfield.
It's hard. Way harder than I expected. Also the most fun I've had on this project.
Yes, it looks AI. I know. Ignore that for a second — what I actually want to know is whether the idea lands: someone says "you're not even a real fan", the other guy doesn't argue, just shows his card.
Does that make you want to click, or is it too subtle?
That conflict to proof hook is solid. Showing a live card graphic right after the flex will instantly convert that viewer emotion into paid votes.
