How it was made: Twenty frames made with image generation AI were animated one at a time with video generation AI (Kling v3), and the product screens were recorded from screens we built ourselves. The dialogue was made with voice generation AI (ElevenLabs), the ambient sound, sound effects and music were also made with generative AI (ElevenLabs), and everything was finished in editing (no filming)

What we fixed

Keep faces out of view

Before. A coworker at the back desk is turning aroundBefore
After. The back desk is left emptyAfter
Aim
Remove the artificial feel so viewers can picture their own workplace
Direction during production
"Show only the lower half of faces or people's backs, so no faces are visible"
Adjustment
Remove the coworker who turned around from the source image, leave the desk empty, then animate it again

Make the screen content real

Before. A screen with nothing but gray barsBefore
After. A screen where payments are matched to invoices and the process has moved on to remindersAfter
Aim
Make it clear at a glance what the product does
Direction during production
"There's not much substance here"
Adjustment
Build a screen where payment records are matched to invoices and the process moves on to reminders, and record it

Remove impossible scenery

Before. The open sky is visible beyond the doorBefore
After. An elevator hall beyond the doorAfter
Aim
Keep a single odd detail from pulling viewers out of the story
Direction during production
"You can see sky through the door" "Normal buildings aren't built like this"
Adjustment
Animate again from an image with an elevator hall beyond the door

How this video was made

A 20-frame storyboard

A 20-frame storyboard laid out four frames per time block
Built four frames at a time with a live-action look that keeps faces out of view
