The Technology to Endure
This KIST spec brand film imagines technology under extreme conditions through spacecraft, heat, and material surfaces. I established a consistent approach to materials and light so shots made with different AI tools felt like one film.

Challenge
Shots from different generative tools needed to share one material look and tone.
My part
- Designed the film concept and visual direction
- Connected AI image, video, and narration generation into the shot sequence
- Unified material and color through look development and Photoshop retouching
- Evened out differences between shots through After Effects compositing and per-shot production notes
Matching generated shots across one film

Shot design before generation
I planned how composition and light would present the spacecraft, heat, and material surfaces, then defined each shot's materials and movement before generation.

Selecting shots that cut together
I chose image, video, and narration tools for each scene, selecting outputs by how well they worked within the surrounding cuts as well as on their own.

Retouching generation errors
I corrected frames with unstable forms or inconsistent materials, contrast, and color in Photoshop.

Motion, compositing, and final color
I refined movement and transitions between cuts, then adjusted color and compositing across the film. I kept generation and correction notes for each shot through post-production.

- Compositing
- Pipeline
Result
Documented generation records and correction standards for each shot, and completed the spec branded film.
I brought inconsistent form, material, contrast, and color back to one standard so every generated shot belonged to the same brand film.
