A studio diary from the frontlines of AI-generated video production. We didn’t set out to become full-time AI video testers. It just happened. One of our long-time clients came to us with a request: a short product commercial, fully generated with AI. This request didn’t come as a surprise — we had already collaborated with several clients on product campaigns where it was mutually understood from the outset that AI would be used to produce the visuals. The results for most were shockingly consistent. With some smart prompting and, yes, still quite a lot of hand-tweaking, we got lifelike portraits, great styling, and crisp renders that passed for real photography. So when our client asked, “Could we just try to do the whole thing with AI for our video campaign?” — well, the sentiment made sense. If this technology can deliver results close to a $200K video production — and  you get to control every single detail — why wouldn’t  you try it? So we said yes to running some tests before deciding whether we wanted to go full speed into production. And that’s when the questions started. Here was our prompt. Simple, clear, good vibes: A red-haired woman in her late twenties, casually dressed in a blue t-shirt and white headphones, dances to the rhythm of music with a soft smile. She’s in a vibrant, modern art studio — full of color, light, and creative motion. To our surprise (and slight relief), the platforms interpreted this prompt in refreshingly diverse ways. The results included women of various backgrounds, builds, and features — though, yes, conventionally attractive white women still made the most frequent appearance. From there, the chaos began. Here’s what happened — platform by platform: Hunyuan  Famous for its open-ended text-to-video flexibility, Hunyuan was our first stop. Issues: None of the outputs had models with open eyes. (Why are AI eyes always closed?) Our heroine "danced" while pointy disco fingers passed through  her headphones. Her smile, while appropriately happy, was frozen and unchanging — an AI grimace with no expiration date. Verdict:   Fun to watch, but unusable. Rating: 4/10 Wan 2.1 Known for solid faces and decent fidelity, Wan gave us a fully-formed woman this time. She definitely looked more human. Issues: The smile was there, but her face was locked in a single emotional frame, and no prompt tweaks helped.  The closed eyes, why are they always closed? Product tracking was unreliable: headphones frequently shifted in frame.  Verdict: Beautiful stills. Half-decent 4-second motion. But don’t ask her to finish the dance. Rating: 5.5/10 Veo 2 (Google) Google’s cinematic darling. Promises “film-like” results. And it almost delivered. Strengths: Gorgeous lighting with consistent shadow logic — if the light is left, the shadows behave right. The model had distinct, memorable features. Her eyes were finally open . She even emoted a little. Issues: Small product elements (like headphone logos) went missing. Her movements didn’t quite match human rhythm. The cost was steep for what was essentially B-roll. Verdict: Closest to real filmmaking, but not without sacrifices. Rating: 6.5/10 Hailuo This one rendered fast — and looked the part.  Issues: Every output played like it was underwater. Slow-mo vibes we didn’t ask for. The model was visibly AI — the kind your brain instantly flags as fake. Frame elements often melted into each other (at one point the cord split like a snake). Her hands… defy language. Let’s just say they’re better left unmentioned. Verdict: For when you want to feel alive by comparison. Rating: 5/10 01-Live 01-Live gave us something no one else did: a consistent avatar across generations. That’s the good news. The rest was unremarkable. Issues: The face looked emotionally divorced from the body. Hair and headphones kept warping in and out of frame. Each generation took 3–4× longer than other tools. Verdict: Great if your video concept is "Haunted animatronic". Rating: 4.5/10 Runway 4 Surprisingly, the heroine looked almost identical to the one we got from 01-Live. (AI siblings, maybe?) Positives: Strong facial realism, blinking and gaze shifts included. She even tried to mouth along with the music at one point. Issues: She had too many teeth. Just… too many. Movement was still awkward and slightly stiff. Verdict: High-quality uncanny valley. Rating: 6/10 Sora The one with the hype. OpenAI’s Sora is supposed to be the future — and for once, the demo reel didn’t lie too much. Positives: The camera moved, too, creating real depth and parallax. The model pulled off a couple of 360° spins. Completely unprompted. We’re not mad. Her face made sense, her expressions tracked, and for once it didn’t feel like a haunted wax museum. Lighting and skin tones were rich and cinematic — high contrast, clean, like someone had already done the color grade. Issues: A few shadow oddities and inconsistencies. Occasional glitch in her movement and dancing. Verdict:  This is a massive  leap from where OpenAI video was just a few months ago. We’re hopeful. Rating: 6/10 Kling 1.6 Kling gave us the widest variety of models and the most natural energy. It felt confident. Wins: Lively motion, good expression, strong character presence. Little to no body distortion or morphing. Backgrounds and atmosphere nailed the prompt. Issues: Close-ups struggled with product clarity — headphone details got mushy. Some shots had minor glitching around movement edges. Verdict: The current frontrunner — but give it two more versions. Rating: 7/10 Kling 2.0 Ah, Kling 2.0 — the new golden child of AI video Twitter. We’d seen some jaw-dropping outputs online, so naturally, expectations were high. Wins: The overall aesthetic was sharp, confident, and very “we could show this to a client”. Motion felt smooth, and the characters looked plausibly human (finally). The vibe was stylish, without trying too hard. Issues: Branding details still wobbled — logos shifted, product elements weren’t always where we left them. And while the result looked great, it didn’t feel like the creative breakthrough we’d been promised. Verdict: Solid and predictable results. But not quite the revelation we were hoping for. Rating: 7.5/10 Bonus: Luma (1/10) Just to remind ourselves how far things have come, we threw the same prompt into Luma. Two months ago, this was the tool. Results: Hair looks and acts like an orange cloud. Hands are the most AI thing ever — morphing into al dente spaghetti. Everything is just melting. Verdict: A cautionary tale in motion. Rating: 1/10 So… Is AI Video Ready Yet? Not quite. Kling, Runway, Sora and Veo are pushing boundaries. But even the best tools still fall short on product accuracy, consistency, and realism — especially for anything longer than two seconds. That said, we do see potential for AI in specific use cases: short AI-driven loops (3–5 seconds), hero stills, or quick concepting passes. But for polished storytelling and campaign-level quality, traditional production is still the more effective path. And while AI has dramatically  improved in just a few months, we’re publishing this today… because next Tuesday, Kling might already be directing its own short film.

Let's face it—most brand campaigns fade into the background faster than your latest Instagram story. If you want your campaign to stand out, it's gotta be memorable, original, and honestly, just fun. So, grab your coffee, and let's break down how to create a killer creative campaign for your brand, step by step. Creating an effective creative campaign means you need a clear goal, engaging content, and a memorable idea. First Things First: Know What You Want Sounds easy, right? Yet so many people skip this step. Ask yourself clearly: What's the goal? More sales, more followers, or just brand recognition? Knowing this helps you avoid wandering around aimlessly and wasting your budget. Seriously, Know Your Audience Forget vague demographics. You need real details. If you're targeting Gen Z, get on TikTok. Selling something upscale? Instagram or Pinterest might be your playground. The bottom line: figure out exactly who you're talking to and what they love (and hate!). Come Up with One Big Idea for an Effective Creative Campaign Every great campaign has a simple yet unforgettable core idea. Remember Nike’s "Just Do It" or Apple's "Think Different"? Your idea doesn't have to be complex, just catchy enough to stick around in people’s heads long after they've seen it. Pick Your Platforms Wisely It's tempting to spread your campaign everywhere, but let's be real—you probably don’t have unlimited time or budget. Choose 2-3 channels where your audience actually hangs out and go all in. Whether it’s Instagram, YouTube, emails, or billboards, go where you’ll make an impact. Make Content That Doesn't Suck Content needs to be eye-catching, fun, or emotionally impactful—ideally all three. Videos should entertain, photos should impress, and captions should make people smile or think. Remember the hilarious Old Spice commercials? Exactly. Tell a Damn Good Story Here's the secret sauce: people love stories. Even the most boring product can be exciting if you wrap it up in a good story. Real stories, funny stories, or even weird stories—use storytelling to make people care and actually remember you. Be Super Clear on What You Want People to Do You'd be amazed how many campaigns fail because they don't tell the audience what to do next. Want them to buy something? Say so clearly! Want them to follow you? Make it obvious. Clear calls-to-action get real results. Track Results (But Don't Obsess) Check how your campaign's performing, but don't freak out over every single metric. Look for big-picture trends: Are people engaging? Is traffic up? Adjust things on the fly if needed, but keep it fun and flexible. Stay Consistent (But Not Boring) Consistency is great, but don't become predictable. Stick with your core idea and brand style, but surprise your audience occasionally. People love consistency but also appreciate a good twist. Quick Fact for Fun: Did you know Coca-Cola’s iconic Christmas ads actually shaped our modern image of Santa Claus? Yep, good branding can literally shape culture. Wrapping it Up Creating an effective campaign doesn't have to be painful. Keep it clear, entertaining, targeted, and don’t forget the fun. Good luck out there! We craft engaging digital branding campaigns – see our branding portfolio .

When you're an architect or designer, bringing ideas from imagination to reality can be tough. Sure, we've all relied on traditional sketches and 2D blueprints, but let's face it—these methods can sometimes leave clients confused or underwhelmed. Luckily, technology has come to the rescue with 3D visualization. Let's dive deeper into how exactly this tool can seriously transform your workflow, client interactions, and overall success. Clearer Communication (No More Guesswork!) Think back to how often you've struggled explaining a complex design to a client who isn't familiar with technical drawings. 3D visualization eliminates this barrier. Instead of leaving clients puzzled over flat, complicated plans, you show them vivid, lifelike representations. Clients instantly understand spatial arrangements, colors, textures, and materials without confusion, reducing endless rounds of revisions and potential misunderstandings. Making Decisions Easier for Everyone Imagine your client struggling to choose between several flooring options. Marble looks classy on paper, but wood feels warmer—how do you decide? With 3D visuals, decisions are suddenly easier because clients see exactly how materials and colors interact within the proposed space. Decisions are faster, clearer, and more confident. Save Time (and Money!) At first glance, producing a detailed 3D render might seem time-consuming. But here's the truth—it actually saves you tons of time and money. Catching problems early, before construction begins, is far cheaper than having to fix mistakes later on. Instead of wasting days or even weeks on adjustments, your clients can approve or request changes quickly, streamlining your workflow. Accuracy Like You've Never Seen Before When it comes to architecture and design, precision matters. 3D visualization software accurately simulates lighting, textures, furniture placement, and even real-world factors like natural sunlight and shadows. This precision helps you ensure that what you design is exactly what gets built—no unpleasant surprises. Gain a Real Competitive Advantage with 3D Visualization for Architects In such a competitive industry, you need every edge you can get. Offering 3D visuals makes your services instantly more attractive and professional. Clients are more likely to choose architects and designers who present clear, attractive visualizations over those who only offer flat blueprints or hand sketches.

Selling real estate is all about capturing buyers’ attention, clearly demonstrating the value of properties, and creating excitement around potential homes or commercial spaces. In a highly competitive market, traditional methods like photographs and floor plans often fall short. This is where 3D visualization comes into play, dramatically changing how real estate is marketed and sold. Let's explore exactly how this technology is reshaping the industry and boosting property sales. Lennar Shypyard Visuals for Five Point by Transparent House Enhanced Buyer Engagement Photos can only show so much, but immersive 3D visualization invites potential buyers into the space before they even step foot inside. Virtual tours and realistic renderings allow buyers to interactively explore properties at their own pace, creating a deeper emotional connection. Buyers can imagine themselves living or working in the space, significantly increasing interest and engagement. Faster Property Sales One of the biggest advantages of using 3D visualization is that it accelerates the sales process. Instead of scheduling multiple in-person viewings, potential buyers can virtually "walk through" multiple properties from the comfort of their home. This convenience speeds up decision-making, reduces the number of unnecessary physical visits, and ultimately leads to quicker property transactions. Lennar Shypyard Flyover for Five Point by Transparent House Expanded Market Reach Real estate professionals traditionally rely on local or regional marketing, limiting potential buyers. 3D visualization removes geographical barriers, enabling agents to reach buyers anywhere in the world. Investors, international clients, or out-of-town buyers can effectively explore properties remotely, opening up properties to a far wider audience. Increased Property Value Perception Presentation matters enormously in real estate. High-quality 3D visualizations make properties appear more attractive, professional, and valuable. Potential buyers see properties at their absolute best, highlighting unique features that might be overlooked in standard photography. The result is a perception of higher value, enabling sellers and agents to justify premium pricing.

With 3D visualization, buyers see a highly accurate representation of properties from the start. Precise visuals clearly communicate layouts, dimensions, and features, eliminating confusion and ensuring buyers know exactly what they're getting. This clarity significantly enhances customer satisfaction and reduces deal-breaking surprises. Effective Pre-Selling of Properties For real estate developers, selling properties before construction is often crucial. 3D visualization makes pre-selling feasible by showcasing future projects in a realistic manner. Buyers feel more confident investing in properties when they clearly see the finished product through lifelike renderings, rather than relying on abstract floor plans or sketches. Improving Marketing Strategies In today's digital marketplace, content is king. Realistic 3D renderings, video walkthroughs, and virtual staging can significantly boost marketing campaigns. They make listings stand out in crowded online platforms, attract more clicks, and encourage social sharing. High-quality visuals generate more interest, leading to increased inquiries, showings, and successful sales. Enhancing Trust and Professionalism When you use sophisticated 3D visualization, you're not just selling properties; you're selling trust and credibility. Professional 3D presentations show buyers that you're committed to transparency and high standards. It positions your real estate business as modern, trustworthy, and ahead of competitors who still rely solely on traditional methods. Cost-Effective and Time-Saving Although there’s an upfront investment, 3D visualization often proves cost-effective. It significantly reduces the resources spent on multiple property viewings and traditional marketing. Plus, early detection and resolution of design flaws through visualization can avoid expensive corrections later, especially valuable for new developments. The positive impact of 3D visualization on real estate sales is undeniable—it enhances buyer engagement, expands your market reach, improves marketing effectiveness, and increases property value perception. Most importantly, it boosts your professional image and helps close deals faster. If you're ready to stand out and boost your real estate sales, incorporating advanced 3D visualization is more than a smart move—it's essential.
