Overview

Elysian needed a launch film that made an abstract AI product feel physical, something you could almost touch before you understood what it did.

Cinema 4D
Redshift
Unreal Engine 5
ComfyUI
After Effects

The idea

A single evolving form: a material that shifts between liquid, chrome and light as the product learns. Every beat of the film maps to a stage in that learning curve.

Process

Look development in Cinema 4D and Redshift, AI-assisted texture and lighting exploration in ComfyUI, then the final grade and composite in After Effects.
