The Project
"Winter Is Coming" is an art direction-driven project that leverages generative AI for style exploration, camera control, and animation, transforming my original digital painting into two visually distinct animated videos, delivered in production-ready formats for social media platforms.
Key Stages & Contributions
Digital Painting & Storytelling:
Reinterpreted Mitch Leeuwe's pencil sketch through lighting, value, and color; evolved artwork from grayscale to full color; defined narrative, mood, and depth.
Art Direction & AI Integration:
Used prompt-driven workflows to create two distinct visual styles; controlled camera, composition, and animation with generative AI.
Animation & Post-Production:
Cleaned up animation, refined timing, enhanced visual coherence; applied post-production effects, sound design, and optimized videos for social media.
Tools & Techniques:
Generative AI, Digital Painting workflows, animation refinement, post-production editing, social media-ready video optimization.
