The Evolution of American Media (Made Entirely with AI)
From printing presses to neural networks — American media never stayed still.
I created this 35-second piece using Google Veo 3, Midjourney, Kling, and Nanobanana to showcase what's possible when you combine AI tools with cinematic storytelling.
No stock footage. No traditional cameras. Just prompts, vision, and post-production polish.
This project started with a very specific idea for how a static product visual should move.
The base artwork was created with ChatGPT and Nano Banana, but before generating the final animation, I spent time refining the prompt and defining the exact movement, camera behavior and energy we wanted.
I tested the direction with different models, including Kling 2.5, using those iterations to improve the prompt before producing the final sequence with Seedance 2.5.
The result was extremely close to what we had planned, including the animation and even the sound effect that completed the motion.
For me, this is where AI production gets interesting: the real work is not simply generating. It is art direction, prompt design, testing and refinement until the model delivers the intended result.
That line about the real work being art direction and refinement rather than generation is something I don't think most clients grasp yet, they still see 'AI made it' as the whole story. Did you end up walking the client through that process, or did they only care about the final result?
Have always wanted to work with one of car industry's giants.
Thank you for trusting me with 2027 model shots for marketing.

This was one of the most fun AI projects I’ve worked on lately.
For Tecnofas, we created a full clay-style animation, literally building the visual language around that handcrafted, stop-motion look, but produced with AI.
The video above is a compilation of some of the scenes we developed for the project.
The creative challenge was to explain a very technical difference in a way that felt simple and visual: comparing a traditional retrofit construction process with a ventilated façade system, which can reduce the number of workers needed on site by up to 60%.
Tecnofas is the kind of client that really enjoys experimenting with new visual languages, so we had a lot of freedom to explore the concept, test ideas and push the AI workflow beyond a standard corporate animation.
That freedom made the process especially enjoyable. Instead of using AI only to make production faster, we used it to create a visual style that would probably never have been the obvious choice for this kind of industrial communication.
