Production logic · AI transition model
Having reviewed the reference material, each 45-second film structures as three 15-second location segments connected by two AI transitions. Across a trilogy of three films, that is 6 transitions in total. Rather than building practical sets to simulate seamless environmental shifts — as the reference achieves through large-scale studio construction — this approach shoots real Doha locations and executes the transitions in post via an AI pipeline. The result preserves on-location authenticity while delivering the fluid, morphing world the reference is built around. 6 transitions × $2,000 = $12,000.
