Project Overview

Inspired by my love for The Phantom of the Opera, I set out to create a movie bumper that captures its dramatic spirit. Movie bumpers are short promotional clips, often used after commercials or as quick previews to spark audience interest. This project became an exploration in motion design and experimentation.

To AI, or Not to AI?

AI is a powerful tool, but it will never replace the organic connection that comes from human-created design, illustration, and writing. There are fundamental principles that must be learned—principles that AI can't truly understand.

​

For this project, I created illustrated assets and then used AI to refine and enhance their consistency. I spent several hours in Photoshop, fine-tuning details and adjusting colors to ensure a cohesive final result.

Final Thoughts

There are definitely things I would adjust if I revisited this project, especially the blending of images and transitions. That said, I’m proud of how it turned out. More importantly, working with an unfamiliar tool pushed me outside my comfort zone and ultimately made me a stronger, more adaptable designer.

If you enjoyed this piece, feel free to explore my other projects or reach out to me. I look forward to collaborating with you.
