Modular eco home, frame from the film
The brief
A manufacturer of modular eco homes needed a sales film for a product that could not be filmed yet: the homes by a lake, in a forest, by the sea and in winter snow, with people living in them.
The challenge
Every place had to show the real design of the units and keep their proportions from shot to shot. The film had to read as one product in many places, not as a series of pretty houses that happen to look alike.
How I made it
Sorting the material. The client's library of 163 files came down to 88 unique assets, grouped into 14 environments, from a tropical beach to snowy mountains.
One idea for the cut. One house, every place on earth, one day. The edit was planned on a fixed rhythm before any animation, so every shot had a set length.
Clean frames before motion. People removed where they did not belong, frames widened with Adobe Generative Expand to give the camera room to move, and day frames repainted into night while keeping every pixel of the composition.
Animation that keeps the architecture. Stills animated in Kling 3.0 from a start and an end frame. When a fast fly-over turned the units into generic bungalows, I locked the shape with reference shots of the unit from four angles.
Sound built from scratch. The source clips had music baked in with no clean ambience underneath, so every clip went silent and the music and sound effects were made at the end in ElevenLabs.
What the client got
A 41-second brand film: the real design, placed in the life it is made for, before the factory, the showroom or the first customer.
Orchestrated end to end in Claude Code, on my own production system.
Client work, company name withheld. Every shot is AI-generated.

Client work: a brand film for modular eco homes, made before the first unit was built. The homes keep their real design and proportions by a lake, in a forest, by the sea and in snow, so the manufacturer could sell a product nobody could photograph yet.
