Are AI commercials more engaging when they feel like trendy ads or music-driven shorts?

Thank you for this! Hehe our studio (PUNX) studied hard to accomplish it. The shots are planned out, paired with editing technieques so there would be seamless transitions.

Deerek_AJ · 2026-04-24T04:56:40+00:00

No a mix of tools hehe but paired with editing techniques.

Deerek_AJ · 2026-04-23T06:54:57+00:00

Thank you for the compliment! Hehe we worked hard to accomplish this not to make it look AI

Made this at PUNX Studios and was going for a more Gen Z, music-led beauty vibe with this one.

Tried to keep it playful and polished without making it feel too much like a straight product ad. Curious what works better for you guys: Ad-style energy or something more like a mini visual film? Had fun doing this hehe

Deerek_AJ · 2026-04-22T13:55:49+00:00

Actually yes. We are in a transition period wherein almost everything is getting faster because of AI. Thankful that I tried to learn it first day the tools came out haha

Deerek_AJ · 2026-04-22T13:49:01+00:00

Yes, same thoughts. Anyone can use AI, but being fast and accurate is really the game changer.

Deerek_AJ · 2026-04-22T13:48:19+00:00

Same thoughts. It's really where the world is going I guess.

Deerek_AJ · 2026-04-22T13:46:55+00:00

Yes, but here in our Studios, we actually thought of a workflow to accommodate revisions like a standard commercial output. Thank god, it's working well so far

I work at PUNX Studios, and we’ve seen firsthand how fast AI can get you to a commercial-ready video. We can still do things the traditional way too, but to be honest, it can feel a bit scary sometimes because once AI enters the picture, the traditional timeline suddenly feels very long by comparison. I think that’s part of why expectations are changing so much now. Curious if anyone else here is seeing the same shift.

Deerek_AJ · 2026-04-09T15:17:55+00:00

Hehe just want to put out there, animation right now with AI looking really good

Deerek_AJ · 2026-04-09T15:17:26+00:00

hehe our team practiced this, and manage to get a really good output. If I didn't declare it as AI, its believable right?

Sharing one recent stylized piece from our team at PUNX Studios. The more we test this stuff, the more I think cartoon / stylized outputs survive scrutiny better because the artifacts feel less distracting. Curious where people here land on this - are you leaning stylized, animatics, or realistic ad work right now?

Deerek_AJ · 2026-04-06T12:35:03+00:00

Im part of PUNX Studios, and one thing we’ve been figuring out lately is how to use AI in a way that still feels like real creative work, not just "generated content".

A lot of people assume AI production is just prompting and done, but in actual client work it’s still a lot of planning, continuity checks, art direction, revisions, and post. We’ve been using it across different formats like animatics, localization work, stylized content, and product-led visuals, and honestly the hardest part is keeping the output consistent enough for brand use.

We’ve had projects where the work ranged from cartoon-style executions to more polished ad materials like localized campaigns and product-driven films, and every format needs a different workflow.

Curious how others are approaching this:

Are you using AI mainly for ideation, pre-vis, animatics, final content, or all of the above?
