RÆBURN, REBORN

RÆBURN, REBORN is a one-minute brand film from British sustainable fashion label RÆBURN, made with AI studio Belief Studio (Elliott Starr and his team), with sound by James Cobbold at Forza Sound. The story draws on a real event: in 1959, US pilot William Rankin ejected at high altitude and was carried through a thunderstorm for about 40 minutes before landing. The film runs that journey in reverse. A man wearing the brand's Air Brake garments, made from recycled parachute fabric, leaps from a London rooftop, passes through the storm into sunlight, and arrives at the brand's new studio on the Greenwich Peninsula. In the official article, founder Christopher Raeburn says they wanted to see whether AI could make something conventional filmmaking couldn't, and to use new technology "with purpose." Trade outlet mediashotz reports that it was made with Belief Studio's own AI workflow plus Google's Nano Banana and Seedance. What sets it apart is how the brand ties an AI film to the story of its own fabric, and explains in writing how it handled the film's carbon footprint.

Who it's for:creatives interested in how brands use AI for advertising, and viewers who enjoy fashion and visual storytelling.

Before you watch: free on YouTube, one minute. The video is unlisted on the brand's official channel, so you need the link to find it; the film also appears on the brand's home page. It was uploaded to YouTube on October 2 and the official article went up on October 14. The brand says that because measurement tools are limited, it estimated the film's footprint on a worst-case basis and doubled its offsets, and that this is not a claim of carbon neutrality. The brand hasn't listed the specific AI tools; the tools above come from press coverage.
