Shipped a full batch of AI-enhanced marketing videos this month, turning raw, low-quality footage into polished, on-brand content. Used real customer stories and AI tools like Siddens and Highsfield to transform webcam recordings and rough client calls into launch videos, ad spots, onboarding content, and more — all while keeping real faces, voices, and authentic moments intact.

What I Shipped7
Open Frame launch video
Finished final edits and a few extra generated shots; delivered September 2nd.
Paid social ad scripts and videos
Scripts grounded in real transcripts and stories from Konrad and Vlad, including a real MCP driver-fix case. Visuals generated in Highsfield with added effects, subtitles, and authentic (non-commercial-sounding) music, reformatted per platform per Roman's request.
Reimagined Conrad video for the website homepage
Used Siddens to transplant Konrad from a simple webcam recording into a generated dark IT-ops set with brand colors and a neon flamingo sign, removing the mic and changing his clothes while keeping his real face, gestures, and lip sync.
Onboarding video for the website homepage
Replaced a static shot with Konrad walking through a virtual office populated with teammates in the background; real voice audio adjusted to match the regenerated video.
Client reactions compilation
Compiled the best moments from client calls and regenerated the poor-quality originals with AI to preserve the same people, words, and reactions in high quality, including redrawn Open Frame screens.
Mingo/Fei dance clip
A quick, fun clip showing off brand character in a friendly way.
Webinar video
Delivered the webinar video. The hardest parts were making the Mingo and Fae screen interactions look realistic, with help from Romeo, and showing OpenFrame on a phone so it looks like a real app, not a render.
Why It Mattered3
Raw footage didn't match brand polish
Webcam-quality recordings, static shots, and bad audio/video from client calls needed an upgrade to feel like professional marketing assets.
Authenticity over generic marketing
Grounding ad scripts in real customer stories and phrases made the content feel genuine rather than like typical ad copy.
Small details make or break AI video
Fixing artifacts like distorted hands and adjusting music choices was key to avoiding the 'uncanny' AI look and keeping content believable.
What I Learned4
Real stories beat generic scripts
Using actual transcripts and customer cases (like the MCP driver-fix story) produced far more authentic ad content than starting from scratch.
AI face/voice preservation is powerful but tricky
Siddens let me change a whole scene and outfit while keeping real facial expressions, gestures, and lip sync intact.
AI artifacts need manual QA
Regenerating shots to fix distracting details like hands, and picking non-commercial-sounding music, made a big difference in believability.
Rendering real devices convincingly is hard
Making an app UI look like a genuine phone screen rather than an obvious render was one of the toughest technical challenges this month.
What's Next1
Finish the Patch Tool Shortlist video
A 20+ minute video built with HeyGen and Higgsfield, using an AI avatar trained on Kristina's videos. I'm uploading it to Frame.io in parts for team review, then I'll assemble the full edit and add motion graphics.
