Superior Electrical Solutions, a local Hawaiian electrician, was struggling to compete with larger contractors who had slick marketing campaigns. The client needed memorable brand content that would resonate with the island community while establishing trust and professionalism. Traditional commercial production would cost $25,000-$75,000 with 4-6 week timelines—budget and timeframe the small business couldn't afford.

Concept Development: Created "Smokey the Bear" as SES808's safety mascot, blending the iconic fire prevention message with Hawaiian culture.

Designed 7-scene narrative: perfect luau → electrical emergency → bear hero saves the day.

Storyboarding: ChatGPT 4o generated detailed scene descriptions and script

Visual Creation: OpenAI Sora produced high-quality cinematic scenes

Animation: Kling AI handled smooth scene transitions and character movement

Voice Design: ElevenLabs created custom bear voice with Hawaiian charm

Audio Production: ElevenLabs Sound Effects generated luau ambiance and electrical crackling

Lip Sync: FAL's Lipsync 2.0 technology synchronized voice with character animation

Cultural Integration: Ensured authentic Hawaiian elements—aloha shirts, plumeria leis, island setting—while maintaining professional electrical safety messaging.

Delivered a 45-second commercial featuring Smokey saving a backyard luau from electrical disaster. The campaign combined entertainment value with clear safety messaging: "Only YOU can prevent electrical fires! SES808 - we save parties AND lives!"
