NINJA PROTECTORS AI TRAILER
YEAR: 2026
TYPE: Internal Project @ Magnopus
ROLE: Designer II
The Ninja Protectors AI trailer is a cinematic style proof-of-concept created using a combination of generative AI tools, including Google Gemini and an in-house tool called Nodey. The trailer presents a sequence for a fictional game, following a ninja as they infiltrate an enemy HQ, engage in combat with guards and progress deeper into the building. The sequence builds towards a final reveal of a major antagonist in their inner room, establishing a larger threat and hinting at a wider narrative.
During this project, I had full responsibility for the trailer, including: scope, narrative design, audio, pacing and overall direction, working within a 6 week timeline. I designed and narrated the sequence, shaping the structure from initial concept through to final delivery. I used AI tools such as Gemini and Nodey to generate and assemble key visual elements, ensuring they supported a clear and cohesive progression from infiltration to escalation. I focused on refining shot sequencing, timing and narrative beats to create a polished cinematic experience that effectively communicated the concept of a larger fictional game world.
This project enabled me to push my understanding of scope, planning and full ownership of a production from concept to delivery. It also challenged me to work creatively within AI limitations, particularly in how I conveyed action and implied violence through framing, timing and narrative suggestion rather than explicit depiction.
