OVERVIEW

Palantir's 8th AIP Conference brought AI leaders together in one room. Their mission? Showcase how they're using Palantir's technology to push the boundaries of what's possible.

We needed a concept that matched that ambition.

What if Palantir wasn't just software, but the 8th wonder of the world? An ancient discovery. Energy-radiating orbs hidden across different worlds, waiting to be found. We designed each speaker their own orb. Their own world. And the moment they stepped on stage, they brought it to life.

One conference. Multiple worlds. Every transition seamless. Every moment connected.

01. AI WORKFLOW BREAKDOWN

every scene was designed and curated, Using a multi-stage ai workflow.

02. INITIAL WAITING SCREEN ANIMATION

03. AI PROMPTING PROCESS

The generation begins with a simple prompt, like a gesture drawing for a painting. Once key elements and structure are roughed in, we refine the prompt to tweak atmosphere, implied motion, and camera angle. Further editing happens in Photoshop, where we dial in color, orientation, and structure. Each image is the outcome of hundreds of adjustments, all compounding to create one final hero still that can then be pushed into motion.

[Prompt]

"A dark jungle ruin with a floating black orb cracked with glowing gold light. The light reflects on wet stone below. Ancient pillars, moss and vines, soft fog, moody cinematic lighting, hyperrealistic."

[Scene Stitch Prompt]

“The ORB RADIATES, the camera pushes through it. on the other side is an epic cloud scene”

04. AI VIDEO PROMPTING

We compiled multiple generated images into a sequence, then used prompt engineering to guide the LLM in stitching these clips together into immersive video outputs. Through multiple renders and small tweaks, we learned that sometimes the simplest prompts, when the imagery is clear, produce the best results.
