Most AI product ads make

Most AI product ads make the product bigger: giant objects dropped into cities. I wanted the opposite for AWAI, a quiet brand: shrink a whole world down into the teaware.

Every scene comes from something real about the product. The tea in the gaiwan becomes a misty lake. The bare clay on the tea caddy becomes a cliff to climb. The speckled matte glaze on the cup becomes a snowfield. The last shot returns to real size, and one tiny boat is still floating in the tea.
