AI DIRECTIon + editing

directing Projects

I was responsible for directing and editing these projects. I worked across the full stack from preproduction, production, and post production in various combinations of roles, depending on the project. I was responsible for all tasks involving generating and editing AI images and video, and all postproduction and CGI elements. As an AI Director, I typically work with the client starting from a script and basic visual references to flesh out the complete project in preproduction before moving through the rest of the stages in an orderly fashion, while still taking advantage of the increased flexibility of AI production to improve the project when revisions or new creative ideas arise.

I have been independantly directing and editing for over 30 years and my experimental narrative animation degree project at RISD won numerous awards and was the first ever 3-D CGI degree project made at RISD.
