A fast-paced cinematic restaurant ad built to make the food feel irresistible from the first second. The video moves from flame-grilled steak to chef plating, then into the dining experience and final restaurant reveal.
The focus was on strong food visuals, smooth image-to-video motion, premium camera movement, appetizing sound design, and commercial pacing suited for restaurants, hospitality brands, and social media campaigns.

Can a habit tracker feel like a brand experience, not just a table?
For Nutrafine’s corporate gifting, each month is tied to one SKU, using the same colour as its packaging. It’s more colour than I would usually choose, but the depth of the palette, white linework and typography make the system hold together.
The bigger idea was to make the tracker itself feel less expected. Instead of a grid, we built a spiral, turning a practical tool into something more playful, memorable and distinctly Nutrafine.

AI-Directed Porsche 911 GT3 R Film
A cinematic automotive experiment created without a camera, physical car, studio, or production crew.
The goal was to explore how far AI + art direction could go in creating a premium automotive design film.
The Approach
Rather than asking AI to generate one complete video, I treated it like an actual production.
I broke the Porsche 911 GT3 R into individual visual moments — carbon bodywork, headlights, front aero, wheels and brakes, side profile, rear wing, and the final hero reveal.
Each shot was individually directed with attention to camera movement, lighting, reflections, materials, composition, and consistency.
The individual sequences were generated using Higgsfield, then brought into Runway to assemble, refine the pacing, transitions, and final film.
The Challenge
Generating a beautiful AI shot is relatively easy.
Making seven independently generated shots feel like they belong to one cohesive film is where it gets interesting.
The challenge was maintaining consistency across the car, materials, lighting, camera language, and overall visual direction while building a natural progression from detail → form → full reveal.
Tools
Higgsfield — AI video generation
Runway — Editing & sequence assembly
AI + Art Direction — Shot planning, prompting & visual consistency
A personal exploration into how AI can become part of the creative production process — not replacing direction, but expanding what can be produced from an idea.
A client gave this idea the green light before I even started building it.
Been using AI a lot lately to prototype ideas early, show the direction, and make sure we’re aligned before jumping into the actual build.
Such a good time saver.
