Music video . Made at Mashed Avocado
Spring in Melbourne

The look came from the golden age musicals. Pastel palettes, symmetry, a street treated as a stage. Melbourne reimagined in that register, heritage terraces under the gold titling of a film that never existed.

The lyrics came first, then the music. Then palettes, frames worked out on paper, sketches, all of it landing before a single prompt gets typed. Machines do what they are told, so somebody has to know what to tell them. Creativity is a mindset, a way of thinking, and that is the work.

Six weeks in the making. Stills built in Nano Banana, motion through Runway and Seedance, the song written here and performed by Suno.

Jashn e Barbaadi
Music video . Made at Mashed Avocado
Jashn e Barbaadi

A music video about a dog. An actual dog, falling in love through a gate in a post-monsoon Indian hill town. The song is in Hindi and needs no translation.

Every creative decision existed on paper before a tool was opened. The world, the characters, the colour palette, the shot structure, and the physics of what a dog can believably do while dreaming of being a Bollywood hero. Stills and motion through Nano Banana, Google Flow and Runway. The music is original, with Suno helping us hear it.

AI executed the vision. People created it. The tools are available to everyone, and the thinking is what you hire.
