The Spirit in Us
An AI-generated visual storytelling series exploring the quiet force within us that refuses to give up.
The Plant — life breaking through cracked concrete, finding a way where there seemed to be none. A symbol of resilience, growth and the courage to rise from difficult places.
The Direction — an unseen pull toward somewhere beyond where we stand; the inner compass that keeps us moving when the road ahead is uncertain, reminding us that not every destination is visible before the journey begins.
The Flame — the fire within us that refuses to be extinguished. A quiet, enduring light that survives the darkness and reminds us that even when everything feels lost, something inside us is still burning.
Together, the three moments tell a simple story: we find a way, we find our direction, and we keep the fire alive.

AI UGC - Minimalist Watch Ad | Viral E-com TikTok
This is an AI UGC video - I created this human avatar + voice without hiring real models.
Hook: 0-1.5 sec smile close-up with watch (emotional hook for female audience) Avatar: Custom AI model - cute, warm, natural - not robotic Edit: DaVinci Resolve + CapCut - clip-by-clip color correction, logo placement, beat sync, no on-screen text
Why AI UGC? ✓ No model fee - saves $200/video for brand ✓ 48 batch delivery (5-10 videos/day) ✓ Perfect for testing product angles fast
This exact style got 1.1M organic views for my watch brand client.
Tools: HeyGen / Arcads + CapCut + DaVinc
I'm loving the depth of field in this shot, the focus pull from the model's face onto the wrist is a good move and there's some nice background walla/clinking that makes it feel grounded in the first two seconds that gets ducked against the vocals. Still some observations and...
I wanted to test whether Invideo Editor’s AI timeline agent could replace hours of manual node compositing in After Effects to create a cinema-grade VFX shot from raw mobile footage.
How I built it:
The Footage: Raw 4K 60fps night plate of NYC with neon signs, streetlamps, and a wet puddle reflection.
Agent Direction: Using a prism refraction photo as a reference, I directed the agent in Ultra Mode to author a single custom shader that extracts luminance highlights, stretches them into 55° upward trails, and applies a spectral RGB dispersion gradient across the edges. It also layered a Screen composite and generated a procedural cyberpunk HUD tracking overlay.
Human Refinements: I manually used the exposed Inspector sliders to fine-tune the Highlight Threshold to 0.68 (isolating the Radio City marquee, streetlamps, and puddle reflection while eliminating building clutter) and dialed the Trail Length to 140 with an exponential falloff taper.

A playful glance, an awkward little dance, a smile behind a glass — small reactions were central to my direction.
I created these films to explore believable expressions, character continuity, and the feel of personal smartphone footage across different settings.
My role covered the visual concept, character and scene direction, and AI production.
