A short-form reel for a private client's personal brand. A sequence of AI-generated scenes directed to a single wardrobe and mood, then graded into one continuous film. Every frame generated, selected and cut by hand: it reads as a shoot that never needed a set.

A campaign film for a textile art studio: ancient codex patterns brought into architecture, light and landscape.
I directed and animated the piece, mixing real product footage with AI-assisted motion so each rug feels like part of a larger story: carved into walls, draped over stairs, echoed in shadows.

This is amazing! 😮
In the Wellcome Collection I found a little-known set of trade portraits painted around 1840 by an unnamed artist from Tanjore, in present-day Tamil Nadu.
Each plate shows a working man and “his wife” on a flat yellow ground under a cloudy sky, with long brushy shadows and a line of palms on the horizon.
I built a Recraft Style from these plates and sent the same painter to record eight professions of Madras in 2026: an EV cab driver, a cardiologist, an architect, a grooming-studio owner, a millet-café founder, fashion designers, pastry chefs and laundry founders. The poses and staging echo the originals, but the roles have moved on...
Three are shown here; the full series of eight is in the Recraft project, and the video brings all of them to life to a mridangam score.
Same trades two centuries later is a strong idea, and the yellow ground carries over really nicely.

A POV nostalgia reel I created for my faceless account, Pop Culture Nostalgia: alarm clock, posters on the wall, the walk to the Halloween store and the candy aisle.
Every shot is AI-generated and art directed to feel like a still from an early 2000s teen movie: 35mm film look, warm golden undertone, hands-only POV, no faces.

Posting it on October 29 is a nice touch. Hands-only POV is a smart call too; it keeps you inside the memory and avoids the face consistency problem that usually gives an AI sequence away.
