Just finished another fictional commercial for my AI portfolio, and this one may be my favorite so far. 🔥 Smoke & Oak BBQ Tagline: "Twelve hours of smoke. Fifteen seconds of temptation." With this project, I wanted to challenge myself to create a commercial that wasn't driven by flashy transitions or heavy visual effects. Instead, I focused on atmosphere, patience, and craftsmanship. For this campaign, I built everything from scratch: 🔥 Brand identity and logo 👨🏾🍳 Original character: Pitmaster Mason 📋 Character sheet and turnaround 🥩 Hero BBQ platter 🎬 15-second commercial storyboard 🎙️ Voiceover script 🎼 Custom Suno music direction 🔊 Layered sound design using ElevenLabs SFX prompts One thing I've been refining is my workflow. Rather than jumping straight into video generation, I'm treating each project like a real commercial production: - Build the brand - Design the characters - Create the hero products - Develop a director's board - Generate the visuals - Animate each shot - Add voiceover, music, and sound design It's made the final results feel much more cohesive and repeatable. I'd love your feedback: - Does the commercial feel like a real national BBQ campaign? - Which shot sells the food the best? - What's one thing you'd change to make it even stronger? Always appreciate the feedback and ideas from this community. Every project helps me improve the next one. Thanks for taking a look! 🔥🍖
