About the Film
A ten-second brand film for SHAPE OF YOU — a complete opening, with logo, title and a transformation scene.
What is in the frame
The film opens on white. A symmetrical butterfly with blue, purple and orange wings sits at the centre. As the wings open the butterfly scatters and gives way to flowers thrown outward — pink, yellow, orange, purple. The logo and brand name resolve above.
The white background is a requirement rather than a preference: for the transformation to read, nothing can be in the frame except the butterfly and the flowers.
The hard part
Symmetry. A butterfly wing is only convincing when each half mirrors the other. AI generates pattern freely; making the orange marking on the left wing appear exactly on the right takes deliberate work.
The transformation itself was second. The move from butterfly to flowers was built as a dispersal rather than a cut. In transitions like this the in-between frames easily collapse into blur; every stage had to still resemble something.
Third, typography. The logo and lettering were placed over the generated footage afterwards — AI-generated text is not legible, and a brand name has to be exactly right.
Where we shoot, where we generate
The real-shoot equivalent here would be macro nature photography: framing a butterfly and catching the moment its wings open. It is doable — but you do not get to decide when the butterfly opens them.
Brand openers usually need a particular feeling rather than a particular image. Describing that feeling and iterating on it is where AI is genuinely good.
Typography and logo work is not left to AI — that is design, placed by hand. This film was assembled that way.
Where this is useful
We produce motion sequences for brand openers, social intros and visual identity exploration. We build the feeling, rhythm and visual world around a logo — not the logo itself.
