TÓCATL — Cinematic AI Film & Music Video Production An original cinematic proof-of-concept developed from concept through final delivery using an AI-first production workflow — story, visual direction, a consistent lead character, shot design, cinematic prompts, AI-generated imagery and motion, original music direction, title design, and final edit. Demonstrates the ability to turn an idea into a polished, cohesive film with consistent characters, high-end camera language, lighting, VFX, and sound.
AI Mockumentary Comedy Short — Consistent Characters A fully AI-generated mockumentary comedy short built to solve the hardest problem in AI video: keeping a character recognizable across a whole piece. Built a locked style block and verbatim character descriptions, generated hero reference stills, then produced all 10 shots image-to-video from those references. Wrote the script, shot list, and audio design, then edited, sound-designed, and graded in post. Result: two consistent performers across 13 generations, holding deadpan comic timing for a full minute — no drift, no re-casting.
Hot Sauce Ad, 9:16 — AI Video Shot Like a Spirits Commercial Spec ad for Cinder, a fictional oak-smoked hot sauce (brand invented for this piece; not commissioned). Every hot sauce ad sells heat — Scoville numbers, skulls, challenge culture — but heat doesn't drive repeat purchase, flavor does. This refuses the category's visual language and shoots hot sauce like a spirits commercial: black sweep, macro, rim-lit, no fill. Restraint is the interrupt, and the register makes the flavor-first claim before a word is spoken.
AI-Generated Vox-Style Explainer — 30s Vertical Motion Graphics 100% AI-generated motion graphics in the bold "Vox documentary" editorial style — oversized typography, collage boxes, hand-drawn arrows, and a narrator voice generated in every clip. Built on a custom prompt system with locked style and voice blocks to keep 9 clips visually and vocally consistent, animation synced word-for-word to the VO. Script, style system, generation, edit, and sound design all mine.
AI-Generated Product Ad — Drift Cold Brew Speculative vertical product ad demonstrating an end-to-end AI-assisted advertising workflow — concept development, product-image generation, image-to-video direction, kinetic typography, sound direction, editing, and custom color grade. Cinematic product imagery and premium social-first pacing, adaptable for beverage, beauty, lifestyle, and e-commerce brands.
AI Architectural Visualization — Site-to-Render Transitions Two transition techniques built for AI-assisted CGI presentations: real satellite geography guided into a controlled aerial approach with zero invented geometry, and a bare white-card massing model resolving into a fully rendered interior. Built around one principle — constrain what the model has to invent, and hallucination stops being a risk. Demo piece for arch-viz studios.
AI-Generated Skincare Product Ad — VELA Skin Self-initiated 15-second vertical skincare ad showing an end-to-end AI product advertising workflow — concept, visual direction, AI-generated product imagery, motion prompts, kinetic typography, color treatment, voiceover script, and music direction. Premium beauty pacing, platform-safe for Reels, Stories, TikTok, and Shorts.
SECOND SITTING — A24-Style AI Horror Trailer Spec horror trailer built end to end with generative AI. I wrote the premise, designed all 12 shots, and engineered every image, motion, and audio prompt. Solved AI film's hardest problem — consistency — with a locked style block and seed-locked character references, holding five actors across twelve separate generations. Delivered a full production doc plus 16:9 and 9:16 cuts.
Social Media Food Ad — Golden Stack Burger Commercial Speculative social media food ad for restaurants and delivery brands. I developed the concept, brand identity, visual direction, product shots, motion, voiceover, sound design, color grade, and final edit. A 20-second spot with appetite-focused close-ups, energetic pacing, clear branding, and a direct call to action.
AI Animated Short — Character Design, Story & Video Production Original animated short built end-to-end with AI. I developed the concept, character, script, visual style, and a reusable prompt system, then maintained character, prop, and environment continuity across an 18-shot storyboard. Directed image-to-video motion and performances, and handled title design, sound, and delivery. Shows how I turn a loose idea into polished, consistent narrative content for brands, campaigns, and social.
