Los Amores de una Bruja

I worked on a short film project at Veritas University in Costa Rica, directed by Jurgen Ureña. They brought me in as a Graphic and Motion Designer. What got me excited were two things: the experimental approach to visuals and using Generative AI as the main tool. It was a chance to try out some new tech and see what we could do with it.

For the AI stuff, I used Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Runway, Topaz Gigapixel, and Adobe Firefly.

My work covered five main areas:

1. Making all the backgrounds: The whole movie was shot on green screen, so I had to create all the environments digitally.
2. Helping with character designs: I worked on how the characters would look to fit with the AI backgrounds.
3. Creating the overall look: This meant coming up with a style that would work for the whole film.
4. Designing movie posters: I made posters to show off what the film was about and its unique style.
5. Doing the title and credits: I designed and animated the opening and closing sequences.

Using AI for most of this was pretty interesting. It let us create some cool visuals that would’ve been hard to make otherwise. It was a good learning experience and pushed me to try new things in design and filmmaking.
