London · AI video & creative direction

Pedram Ansari

Filmmaker, creative director and copywriter, now making AI videos.

12 years in advertising, since 2014, across copywriting, art direction and creative direction, including Huawei's Nowruz campaign for TV, radio and outdoor, which won a Silver Shahin at the Iran Advertising Festival. Today I write ideas and turn them into finished AI videos, so a concept can be seen moving in days, not weeks.

I have also worked in cinema since 2013, on both sides of the camera: as an actor in theatre and film, as an assistant director and production manager, and as the director of two short films. So I come to AI video as a filmmaker, not just as an ad creative who learned a new tool.

What agencies and production companies can bring me in for: pitch previz, animatics, teasers and social-ready ads.

Below are one client project and five spec and personal pieces, with the thinking behind each one.

Human Runs History

The project

My contribution to The LoopHole Project, an international community film made by AI creators. Every piece follows one loop: fall into a new world, run from a threat, jump into a hole that leads to the next creator's world. Twenty seconds, original character and world.

The video

One man runs through human history. A caveman escapes a lion and falls into a medieval battlefield, then a Second World War trench, then a future war among giant machines. Every era, a new enemy; every time, he jumps again.

Shoot responsibly

The idea

A boot so powerful that every shot needs a warning label.

The video

A man reads quietly in his living room until a football smashes through his window. He looks out, ball in hand. The camera pulls back: he lives high up in a tower, and the pitch is far below. End line: "Shoot responsibly with Phantom. Just shoot it."

Size doesn't protect you

The idea

Against a car, someone on a motorbike or bicycle is facing a far stronger weapon. It doesn't matter how big or strong you are. On two wheels, whoever hits you, you're the one who gets hurt.

The video

Two big men easily knock a smaller guy off his feet in a white studio. Cut to the street: the same two, now on a motorbike, are thrown through the air by an ordinary car. End line: "Look out for motorcyclists and cyclists. They're more vulnerable on the road."

00:56 runtimeAI craft experimentPersonal project

Different worlds

The idea

A test of what AI video can do: keep one consistent character across completely different forms and worlds, and show that with AI the only limit left is imagination.

The craft

The same woman moves from a dark studio into a paper-craft room, a pencil sketch and a world made of glass, staying recognisable in every style. Made in Higgsfield using character sheets and start and end frames.

00:26 runtimeTV / QLEDSpec concept

Too real to be safe

The idea

When the picture is this real, you can experience things that normally only happen when you're actually there. Fans in the stadium sometimes get hit by the ball, so the viewer at home does too.

The video

A fan watches a penalty on a big screen at home. The shot comes straight out of the TV and hits him in the face. End line: "Enrich your viewing experience with QLED technology."

Macina: We are on the way

"Full horsepower, straight for the goal."

The brief

Macina is a new automotive brand getting ready to launch. I built the brand from the ground up: the name, the slogan, the visual identity in green and gold, and this launch teaser.

The video

Sunset on an empty highway. A traffic officer lines up his speed camera, and something passes so fast it throws him and the camera into the dust. We never see the car. End line: "We are on the way." Macina, coming soon.
