Visually, we leaned into a 70s-80s creature-feature aesthetic with a practical-effects feel to steer away from the typical AI look - rubber suits, simple lighting, grounded performances, slightly muted tones. Something tactile and familiar.

Building on a previous collaboration, we kept this one more concise - simplifying parts of the UI and focusing the visual language. From there, we treated it like a film: casting characters and locations, shaping a lead with an early-80s feel, and building an office setting that could hold both versions of the story.

We also created a series of bloopers and b-roll moments around the party - awkward speeches, cake mishaps, strange coworker energy - using Weave to push and reshape timing and tone directly in the timeline.
