Project Overview:
This project was a bold experiment in blending AI-powered video creation with a nostalgic, urban art style reminiscent of the Grand Theft Auto universe. Designed for 700 Academy, the goal was to craft a visually gripping cinematic that feels like a trailer straight out of a gritty open-world game.
Creative Process:
The journey began in Midjourney, where I generated stylized concept art, characters, and environments — all infused with that iconic GTA look: high-contrast lighting, exaggerated colors, and urban street energy.
Next, I used Google Veo to bring these static concepts to life. I carefully structured prompts and compositions to simulate motion, pacing, and camera dynamics that reflect the chaos and charisma of GTA-inspired cinematography — think low-angle shots, quick pans, and tension-filled sequences.
The final stage took place in Adobe After Effects, where I fine-tuned the edit, layered in motion graphics, compositing elements, visual effects, and synchronized sound design. This allowed the piece to feel cohesive, immersive, and true to both the GTA aesthetic and the 700 Academy brand identity.
Tools Used:
🎨 Midjourney – Style-driven visual concepting
🎥 Google Veo – AI-driven video generation
🛠️ After Effects – Animation, compositing & post-production polis
