Most AI video looks like AI video. Here's how I avoided that.
I animated "Ekushe Ain", a 1923 Bengali satirical poem, as a test of
whether AI tooling can hold a specific visual identity across a full
3-minute piece.
The answer is yes, but not by default. The default output is smooth,
glossy and generic. Getting something with a point of view took:
— One locked style reference, re-applied to every single generation
— A hard colour rule: one saturated element per frame, nothing else
— Restrained motion, because over-animating breaks consistency
— Manual typography, because the models can't set Bengali
That's the same discipline I bring to product films at Studio
Barefoot. The tools are fast. The direction is what makes them worth
using.

Handmade. Imperfect. Mine. 🎬 Coca-Cola — Cinematic Brand Storytelling
Project Overview
A cinematic motion design project exploring the story of Coca-Cola's global expansion and the strategic blueprint behind building one of the world's most recognizable brands.
The video combines editorial visuals, vintage-inspired textures, animated maps, archival-style compositions, typography, and symbolic storytelling to turn a business narrative into an engaging visual experience.
Rather than using a traditional corporate presentation style, I focused on creating a documentary-like atmosphere that feels cinematic, thoughtful, and visually distinctive.
