I remain on the forefront of visual technology by embracing AI as a tool. These personal projects involve editing AI video using traditional visual effects techniques, including integrating 3D.


Neon destruction episode 1

ROLE: AI prompting, editing, 3d animation, compositing, vfx, color

Neon destruction is a weekly animated series, loosely revolving around the theme of Mechagodzilla attacking Neo Tokyo. Like the original Godzilla intellectual property, it will be investigating serious questions about society and human nature under the guise of low brow entertainment. But this time it's a bite-size parody made for people that grew up with the Internet.

All of the pictures and sound are initially generated with AI however, the film is edited together like a real movie and all of the sound effects and postproduction are added using the same workflows as live action VFX filmmaking.

Episode one introduces the monster and gives you the general idea of the aesthetic and production values.

I don't want to do too much worldbuilding outside of the story itself, but if identical twins are raised speaking different languages, they will have a different accent. So that's a clue as to why all all the clones have such different accents :)

MIAMI MARLINS ADVERTISING CONCEPTS / MOTION 504

ROLE: I used the latest generative AI tools to ideate sci-fi visual concepts for an ad campaign for the Miami Marlins Major League Baseball team, using Maya for rough previs and establishing shots, then detailed images “rendered” using AI style transfer based on mood frames which I authored by text prompting AI. Side by side comparisons of Dall-E, Stable Diffusion, Adobe Firefly, Meta Imagine, and Midjourney using the same inputs.
