Making a Fictional AI Vlog Feel Real
A creative experiment exploring how far generative video can go when the goal is to make a fictional vlog feel real — spontaneous, imperfect and believable rather than obviously AI-generated.
The project was inspired by the current wave of speculation around a possible Kanye West visit to Russia, as well as the unexpected viral spread of 'Silver Night' in Kanye West’s voice. Both became starting points for imagining an entirely fictional trip through Saint Petersburg.
The idea was to place a highly recognisable public figure into a completely different cultural and visual environment and explore how naturally the two could coexist on screen. Everyday locations, cultural details, movement and sound became part of the storytelling rather than simply serving as background.
The visual language deliberately moves away from the polished aesthetic often associated with generative AI, experimenting instead with a more naturalistic, vlog-like approach. The character needed to remain consistent across different locations and situations while the footage retained a sense of spontaneity and imperfection.

Impressive
Most brands are still spending $3,000–$5,000 and 2 weeks on a single UGC ad.
Here's what we did differently.
A fintech client needed authentic, relatable video content to build trust with new users — fast. Traditional UGC production meant:
→ Hiring actors
→ Booking a studio
→ Multiple shoot days
→ Editing turnaround of 1-2 weeks
Their timeline didn't allow for any of that.
So we built a fully AI-generated UGC ad instead — same emotional hook, same "wow moment," same scroll-stopping storytelling structure that real UGC ads use. No camera. No actor. No shoot day.
The result:
✅ A video that felt 100% human and relatable
✅ Delivered in days, not weeks
✅ A fraction of traditional production cost
✅ Built specifically around a proven emotional arc (problem → discovery → payoff → resolution → CTA) — the same structure that makes UGC ads convert
This isn't about replacing creativity. It's about removing the bottleneck between a good idea and a finished, scroll-stopping video.
If your team is spending too much time or budget trying to produce content that feels authentic, this is worth a conversation.
We're currently taking on a few new brand partners for Q4.
DM me "UGC," and I'll walk you through exactly how this could work for your product.

Hey, I came across your post about your AI generated UGC ads and the Q4 brand partnerships you're opening up.
I really like the way you're approaching UGC keeping the emotional structure and relatable feel of traditional UGC while making production faster.

Endless Possibilities — #Flora Museum Challenge
What is this gigantic medieval wine jug doing in the middle of Times Square? Yeah — that’s exactly what I asked myself too, so I decided to find out for myself.
After hours of scrolling the MET artwork collection, I finally stumbled upon a beautiful French wine jug from ca. 1680. Although I didn't have an idea of what I wanted to create with it, I knew I wanted to use this particular jug for my FLORA creation because I found it so visually mesmerizing. Then I thought, hey, what about putting something so classic and elegant into the most modern and urban setting one could think of: Times Square. So I decided to scale the jug in size on FLORA as a first step.
But then the more important question arose… what would its function be in Times Square? To put something that absurd in the middle of an urban setting like NYC, it must have a real reason to be there — to serve a purpose. At that point, an idea sparked; a portal.
Initially, my thoughts were almost fixed on either showing the portal take the viewer back to the medieval times — the era in which the jug was used, or to a Greek mythological world to complement and tell the story of the paintings on the jugs exterior, or maybe even to outer space. But the more I contemplated the idea, I felt like choosing a destination for the portal would limit what the artwork could mean. I was sure that leaving the destination unknown felt more powerful. Rather than defining what exists on the other side, the piece invites the viewer to discover the possibilities for themselves — allowing them to draw their own artwork using their imagination. In the video, the story ends when the portal is discovered and entered — but that’s where the viewer’s story only begins.
Using FLORA made it very easy for me to implement the setting and atmospheric ideas I had in mind for the placement of the jug and the street address in Times Square. FLORA effectively enabled me to translate all my thoughts and brainstorming onto a digital canvas that allowed this cinematic first person viewer's encounter to feel like a moment the viewer could actually experience.

Great execution.
