The AI Cinematic Lab is my journey into AI-generated films. I focus on short narratives, mood pieces, and visual experiments. I strive to craft each project using open source tech (ComfyUI, Flux, Wan, etc), extending my decade in VFX and 3D art into a new era of cinematic creation.
This is AI - R&D Emotions // Expression
Can we push AI to have a soul? To embody deep human emotions?
An R&D exploration into consistency and emotional range within generative video. This project stress-tested current model capabilities by enforcing tight constraints: macro portraiture and complex, non-verbal acting cues.

Synthetics
SYNTHETICS represents one of my core "Drop-In" AI Universes - a scalable narrative sandbox designed to test the limits of generative consistency.
I wanted to architect a visual grammar that supports emotion and humanity in a reality where sterile, hyper-simmetrical perfection and cold lighting represent the lineage that won the evolution game.
This project serves as a case study in directing AI to maintain emotional continuity across conflicting aesthetic styles.

The Collectors
A "Drop-In" AI Universe designed to deconstruct the visual grammar of David Lynch. This experiment moves beyond the randomness of generative video to achieve specific, subconscious dread via FLF (first last frame) workflows. The focus was on rigid Creative Direction: enforcing continuity, manipulating tension through micro-expressions, and translating abstract film theory into concrete prompts.

Freddy Krueger - Spec Ad
Using a 3D-guided AI workflow I established the layout, cameras, lights and characters in 3D and then used AI as a "make real" or restyle pass. This workflow is part of a proof of concept 3D to AI pipeline I developed at RADiCAL.
Moments (Aquorel)
Can we create emotions with AI? Can we use it to tell deeply human stories?
I research meaning and emotions in this short ad I made for my wife's brand with Nano Banana Pro and Kling Turbo.
R&D - Creative Experimentation
This section houses my unfiltered explorations into generative AI pipelines, where I stress-test new tools against old cinematic principles.
