AI Video · Showreel

Video that ships itself.
Break free of the render farm.

Purple Squirrel Media builds AI video pipelines and the films that come out of them. The work below starts with products we own and ads we made to sell them, then brand films, client platforms we engineered ourselves, and the full range of styles we can execute — all scripted, voiced, cut, and rendered on an AI-first toolchain we run in-house.

Showreel16:9 · 40s

2026 Sizzle Reel

Forty seconds across everything below — product ads, brand films, character work, and generative style range. Original score.

01 Our products — ads we made for things we built

Full-ownership work: the product is ours, the ad is ours, and it is selling something real.

FeaturedProduct ad40s

Crypto Survival Guide — Product Ad

Campaign film for our own published book (live on Google Play and Amazon). Written, storyboarded, generated, and cut in-house — hardware-wallet setup, breach alerts, and password hygiene into a single “take control today” call to action.

FeaturedProduct ad60s

Superteams — Product Ad

Sixty-second ad for our Superteams book, built scene by scene on Amazon AI Lab: the stressed worker, the coordination failure, the framework, the delegated plan, the breakthrough, and the “build your superteam” close — over an original score.

Product ad30s

Accelerate Solana Consensus — Product Ad

Narrated spot for our Solana engineering book: “Every breakthrough starts at a workstation, line by line, building the future.” Written, voiced, and cut in-house — workstation to compile to deploy.

Product ad30s

Travel Guide — Product Ad

Campaign spot for our travel guide: “Meet your guide” through to “capture your journey” — hostel, old town, and open road, scored with an original lo-fi bed.

02 Coldstar — our cold-wallet product

Our own crypto product: launch campaign, full product walkthrough, and the ident system that carries the brand across social.

FeaturedLaunch film45s

Coldstar — Launch Film

Launch spot for Coldstar, the cold-storage wallet that turns any USB drive into an air-gapped signer. AI-assisted script, edit, and grade from storyboard to final master, cut to the “Build Your Fortress” line.

Stylized 3D19s

Mascot Animation

Full 3D character study — lighting, fur, and hero poses directed shot by shot.

Campaign spot13s

04 Client work — products we built

Films for platforms and tools we engineered ourselves, so the demo is the real product rather than a mockup.

Client · ZetaChain8s

ZetaChain — Mascot Spot

Release announcement fronted by an AI-generated brand gorilla in ZetaChain green — a reusable mascot the client redeploys for every version bump.

Client · ZetaChain8s

Product demo67s

AI Academy — Product Demo

Walkthrough of the AI Academy platform we designed and shipped: screen capture, motion titles, and AI voiceover in one continuous pass.

05 Creature & character animation

Animal and character work across every rendering register we offer — bioluminescent, hyperreal, painterly, storybook, and surreal.

Bioluminescent 3D6s

Neon Tiger

A tiger rebuilt in glass and light: every fur strand emissive, the musculature reading through a translucent body as it prowls. For brands that want a hero animal without live-action.

Hyperreal macro6s

Feathered Owl

Macro-detail plumage pushed past photography — each feather individually resolved in saturated green, holding sharp under a slow push-in. Texture work at its densest.

Cinematic surreal6s

Astronaut Cat

A cat in a pressurized helmet against a planetary backdrop, lit like a film poster. Surreal premise rendered with straight-faced cinematic craft.

Storybook 3D30s

Tulip Elephant

An elephant built in soft light and a storybook palette, drifting through tulips and fireflies. The gentlest end of our character range — children's publishing and brand mascots.

Painterly · anime6s

Sun & Flora

Sun and moon over a hand-painted meadow in an anime-film register — brushwork skies and layered blooms rather than photoreal rendering.

Photoreal action8s

Barrel Surfer

Live-action-grade sports footage with no camera involved: a surfer inside the barrel, water spray and rim light behaving exactly as a real lens would capture them.

Steampunk concept6s

Brass Machine

A concept-art contraption in brass and blue plasma, annotated like a schematic and rendered in motion — the register we use for technical and world-building briefs.

06 Cinematic & concept

Longer-form narrative films — concept pitches and trailers built entirely from generated shots.

FeaturedConcept film62s

Original episodic work — finished vertical pilots with intro, scenes, and outro, plus scene development for a second series.
