For some time, the local band Klandestino had envisioned the idea of a video centered around a heart. It wasn’t a fully defined visual concept but rather a feeling: the heartbeat as uncertainty, tension, energy, heat, and life.
When the project reached me, my challenge was to transform that feeling into a clear, powerful, and functional audiovisual piece. 🌵🔥 Mexicali represents heat, desert, sun, music, and energy. All of these elements needed to be present in the heart.
AI as a Sketch, Not as a Final Product
To accelerate the concept phase, I experimented with different artificial intelligence platforms.
- With AI image generation, I produced several proposals: surreal hearts with guitar pedals embedded into veins, random lightning bolts, and strange objects appearing from nowhere. Interesting visuals, yes, but not functional for the band’s vision.
- With AI video tools, the results were even more chaotic: uncontrolled lightning, deformations, objects emerging without logic, even cars bursting out of the sand like worms.
These experiments proved something crucial: AI is great as a storyboard tool. It allows clients to see quick, high-impact visual proposals without me spending endless hours drawing or explaining ideas verbally. But when precision and intention are required, AI falls short.
Klandestino’s heart needed to beat with intention, transmitting tension and musicality—not random explosions of effects. That’s where human creativity comes in.
From Digital Sketch to Real Production
Once the band approved the idea, we moved into full production:
- Modeling and building the heart in Blender 3D.
- Animating the heartbeat, with deliberate variations to create tension and energy.
- Exporting into After Effects for tracking, particles, lightning, and VFX integration.
- Sound design and synchronization, where each pulse marked a moment of tension.
- Iteration and testing, fine-tuning the balance between visuals and sound.
The result was an audiovisual product that is handcrafted, precise, and intentional—something no AI could have delivered randomly.
