A 1990s-inspired Japanese anime VHS trailer created with AI tools and a lot of passion for old-school storytelling.
I wanted to recreate the emotional atmosphere of classic anime dramas:
rainy Tokyo nights, loneliness, love, failure, dreams, and rebuilding yourself after losing everything.
This project was heavily inspired by the feeling of 90s anime cinematography, hand-drawn cel animation aesthetics, VHS textures, and realistic human emotion.
Created independently using AI-assisted production workflows:
SaaS Explainer Video — AI-Native Software Engineering.
A cinematic SaaS explainer created to communicate a simple business message: AI can build an app, but building software that works reliably for a real business takes much more.
The video combines an AI presenter, product interface visuals, technical environments, and cinematic storytelling to explain the difference between a quick AI prototype and production-ready software.
The goal was to make a technical SaaS product feel clear, modern, credible, and easy to understand while keeping the story engaging from beginning to end.

From a simple skincare concept to a complete AI UGC ad!!
I wanted to see how far I could take a simple skincare UGC concept using AI.
I started with the character, making sure her face, skin tone, body shape, hair and overall appearance stayed consistent throughout the video.
Then came the fun part building the story scene by scene.
From the opening skincare hook, to walking into the bathroom, cleansing, rinsing, moisturizing, applying eye serum, and finally showing the finished look, every scene had to connect naturally to the next.
Once the visuals were ready, I edited everything together in CapCut, worked on the pacing, added a conversational voiceover, and turned the individual AI generated scenes into one complete UGC style video.
A lot goes into making AI UGC feel believable. It’s not just generating pretty images, it’s the consistency, storytelling, editing and little details that bring the video together.
