Project completed for a client in the events sector — creation of a "cinematic poster" style animated poster with multiple characters and composition animations.

Client Brief:

Using a provided image bank, extract and rework characters, compose a collective poster, and deliver two animations: the progressive composition of the poster and the dispersion of the characters.

Creative Process:

• Selection and extraction of characters from the visual bank

• Precise cutting and background cleanup (Photopea)

• Retouching and visual harmonization for overall consistency

• Multi-layer composition of the final poster

• Animation in CapCut: each character moves to its exact position on the poster

• Creation of the reverse sequence for the dispersion effect

Deliverables:

• High-definition final poster (PNG + multi-layer PSD)

• Video 1 — animated composition of the poster

• Video 2 — dispersion of characters

Art Direction: cinematic aesthetic, "movie poster" atmosphere, attention to visual consistency among all characters.

Flexible Workflow: possibility to work from client-provided visuals or generate characters using AI (Midjourney) as needed.

Creation of cinematic videos generated by artificial intelligence — a blend of visual art, poetry, and emotional storytelling.

Types of Productions Created:

• Conceptual Art Films — poetic clips with voice-overs and original music (themes: unity, inner worlds, mirror of the universe)

• Sensory Artistic Visuals — close-ups (eyes, hair, hands, face) with smooth transitions and dreamlike atmospheres

• Restoration & Animation of Old Photos — memory project for a client: restoration of low-quality childhood photos + animated morphing tracing 50 years of life

• Pixar-style 3D Animation — cute characters, animated vegetables and drinks for modern advertising content

Art Direction:

• Cinematic & emotional aesthetic

• Smooth transitions, gentle movements

• Harmony of image / sound / text

Technical Stack:

• Image & Animation Generation: Midjourney, Kling, Runway, Hailuo, Nano Banana

• Post-production: Photopea, Clarity AI

• Editing: CapCut

• Voice & Music: Suno, ElevenLabs

Formats adapted for all digital platforms: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, web campaigns.

Creation of cinematic book trailers generated by artificial intelligence — serving authors, publishing houses, and literary projects looking to bring their worlds to life on video.

Approach:

Each trailer is designed as a mini-cinematic work: atmosphere, characters, pacing, and music are carefully considered to convey the book's emotion and entice readers.

Projects Completed:

• Book trailer for an author (novel) — complete collaboration: character creation, cinematic art direction, visual animation, 20-second teaser editing, custom-generated music and voice-over, and book cover design.

• Personal demonstration project — book trailer inspired by a medical thriller, conceived as an exercise in cinematic staging. Narrative peculiarity: the killer is never shown directly — their identity is conveyed solely through recurring shots of their hands (damaged, dry, recognizable from shot to shot). This choice demonstrates mastery of visual detail consistency and the ability to build narrative tension through cinematic language.

Specialty: Mastery of visual consistency for characters and details from one shot to the next — a major technical challenge in AI video, essential for the narrative credibility of a trailer.
