Rockster Cross 2 — AI Commercial PRODUCTION Case Study
A playful AI commercial created with MikeTeeVee for Teufel’s Rockster Cross 2 in early 2025.
The brief: keep the real actor and product 100% consistent while pushing imaginative, surreal worlds that still feel brand-true. We leaned into AI image + video generation, curated hundreds of frames, and built a fast, filmmaker-led pipeline that treats AI as a creative partner, keeping the client in loop for every step of production.
Creative Challenge - Consistency, Character, Product
Character & product continuity across films and stills
Exemplary product integration: angles, materials, color, logo fidelity
Ethical use of talent: AI to enhance & generate complex realities
Pre–Veo 3 / Gen-4 workflow (Feb 2025), squeezing maximum quality from earlier-gen tools
