Project overview

The brief and the story behind it

WVFRM partnered with The Founders Invitational to produce a cinematic promotional campaign entirely using generative AI video technology. This premium golf tournament at Huntingdale Golf Club required innovative content delivery within a compressed timeframe, with the client specifically requesting an end-to-end AI production workflow. The objective was to create a sophisticated, broadcast-quality promotional video that showcases the calibre of the event, featuring professional golfers Ian Baker-Finch and Geoff Ogilvy, while demonstrating WVFRM's emerging capabilities in AI-generated content production. The event takes place 11 September 2026 at Huntingdale Golf Club, with marquee sponsors including Genesis, Titleist, Tennis Australia, 67PallMall, PGA First Tee, and RGB Australia.

How we approached it

From brief to finished film

01 / Challenge

The client requested a complete AI-generated video campaign with just one week to delivery. This presented multiple technical hurdles: generating photorealistic footage of golfers in realistic game scenarios using generative AI, maintaining consistent visual quality across six distinct scenes, ensuring smooth transitions and proper physics for ball movement, and integrating sponsor branding within an entirely AI workflow.

Traditional production timelines were infeasible; the team needed to master rapid iteration with generative models, troubleshoot recurring issues like subject positioning and unwanted slow motion, and deliver final assets without compromising on visual fidelity or brand alignment.

02 / Solution

WVFRM built the campaign using a generative AI production workflow, approaching each scene as a distinct creative challenge. The team developed a structured creative framework to guide the generation process, focusing on achieving photorealistic quality and consistent visual direction across all deliverables.

The workflow prioritized bold creative pivots over incremental refinements, enabling rapid exploration of different compositional and stylistic directions. This approach accelerated iteration cycles and unlocked higher-quality outputs faster than traditional iterative workflows. All text overlays, animated borders, sponsor logo placement, and voiceover were integrated in Adobe After Effects, ensuring seamless brand consistency and sponsor visibility throughout the final asset.

The production maintained transparent communication with the client throughout, positioning iterative cycles as a core strength of the AI-assisted creative methodology.

03 / Outcome

WVFRM delivered a polished 45 second cinematic promo video with optional 15-second social media cuts, completed within the one-week deadline. The final asset showcases both the event's premium positioning and WVFRM's fluency with generative AI production pipelines.

The project demonstrates that AI video generation, when paired with strategic post-production work and rapid iteration methodology, can deliver broadcast-quality promotional content at speed and scale. The campaign is now positioned for deployment across digital platforms, email newsletters, and social channels leading up to the event.
