The Ancient Tide is a photorealistic concept trailer from Sawa Films, made with AI and running under a minute. It is an original Sawa Films production in the kaiju genre, built around a colossal sea creature.
About the Trailer
From the glowing eye of an undersea leviathan to heavy surf, giant whirlpools and the creature's breach on the exposed seabed, the scale keeps building shot after shot.
The trailer is built with cinematic-scale VFX and photorealistic fluid dynamics, and the sea itself carries much of the action, from the surf to the whirlpools.
How It Was Made
As with every Sawa Films project, the trailer began with the story, script and storyboard before any shot was produced. AI then produced the shots, and a person reviewed every frame before the final edit. The work followed the studio's six phases: brief, concept & script, storyboard, image design, motion & sound, and final edit.
