"AI angels 3.0" VFX short

CLIENT: PERSONAL

ROLE: AI Director, Editor. Video: PIXVERSE. Still images: STABLE DIFFUSION, FLUX KONTEXT, PHOTOSHOP. Video color correction, post: AFTER EFFECTS, TOPAZ. Sound: SUNO and ELEVENLABS

NOTE: This is the third version of this project, using the same basic imagery, but regenerating it with the latest technology to improve the visual quality. The idea is that AI is coming to save us instead of kill us. The original images were generated in 2022 with locally run Stable Diffusion. I have continued to use the original primitive generations as the style reference for the subsequent versions. Creating twin characters whenever the frame has a horizontal aspect ratio was a very common error with the early AI, but I decided to run with it and make it be a motif in the piece.

overheated TRUCK

CLIENT: PERSONAL PROJECT

ROLE: All production and design tasks using MAYA, PHOTOSHOP, and AFTER EFFECTS. I entirely 3D modeled this truck from scratch. Animated with KLING AI using a MAYA 3D render I made as the start frame.

NOTE: I made this project out of frustration with the character designs in Pixar's “Cars”. In my opinion, the front of a car already forms a face without putting eyes on the window..

"Neon Destruction" episodic

CLIENT: PERSONAL PROJECT

NOTE: Trailer for Neon Destruction season 1 AI short action comedy series. The AI Slopera is a new genre which I invented for this project. The narrative embraces the chaos and sloppiness of early AI video generations as a punk rock Lo Fi experiment. Neon destruction was released in 10 weekly episodes in early 2024. Like the original Godzilla intellectual property, it investigates serious questions about society and human nature under the guise of low brow entertainment. The editing and post uses traditional live action/VFX filmmaking techniques.
