rediscovered some old favorites of mine, my first real ventures into any sort of motion design. these were our primary advertisement visuals for a private, fiction-based writing community around this time some 18 months ago. these featured archetypes that were requested as connections for members onsite to spice up our plot, offering an insight into the depth everyone has hiding behind their curated grids & posts, even if only in seeing what apps they have running in the background of their device, what notifications are enabled.

i have so much more material in the arsenal where this style comes from, & given our community's focus on interpersonal dynamics' impacts thanks to pressures from both social & news media sources (in spite of their potential unreliability, exaggerations, etc.), i haven't found a design system since that encapsulated the sort of 'ERROR 404' / 'uncanny valley' energy that we've always gone for in our storytelling, but in spite of content warning tags for glitching & potential eyestrain? lashback from external sources was far too severe to keep this style up & running for as long as i'd have liked.

what are your thoughts? any favorites of the four shown below? good start to an unconventional little case study, perhaps?

The ERROR 404 / uncanny valley angle is a clever way to visualize interpersonal dynamics without illustrating them literally. My favorite of the four is the top right, that cracked type treatment does a lot of storytelling on its own. Was the eyestrain pushback coming from...

I create scroll-stopping AI-powered videos for brands, products, and social media campaigns, combining creative storytelling with the latest generative AI tools.

From the initial concept to the final video, I handle the complete creative process — including scriptwriting, scene planning, AI image generation, image-to-video animation, character consistency, product integration, voiceovers, transitions, and final editing.

I specialize in creating:

• AI Product Commercials • UGC-Style AI Ads • Product & Skincare Videos • Social Media Reels & Short-Form Videos • Cinematic Brand Videos • AI Image-to-Video Content • Consistent AI Character Videos • Creative Product Visualizations

My workflow combines tools such as Google Flow, Higgsfield AI, Canva, and AI voice-generation tools to create polished, engaging content designed for Instagram, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and digital advertising.

I focus on making AI content feel natural, visually consistent, brand-aligned, and commercially usable rather than simply looking AI-generated.

From idea → script → visuals → motion → voiceover → final edit, I can turn a brand concept into a complete AI video.
