This one was a tough but fun one to make. 12 straight days, different crew members. Potentially could be a spin off series. We are debating it!
I help brands and filmmakers explore cinematic storytelling using AI assisted workflows, from concept development through final film direction. If you're interested in collaborating or exploring new visual approaches to storytelling, feel free to reach out.
👋 I'm new to Contra and I did my first post without realizing I hadn't even introduced myself!
Hey I'm Katya, I'm an AI Systems Architect, marketer and yoga teacher.
I build AI systems that bring in business and handle the work behind it. A voice agent that calls new leads back within seconds and books the appointment. A pipeline that traced 16,900+ leads to the ads that brought them. Listing videos made from the photos a real estate agent already has.
The marketing side came first. I built the multi-channel campaign for Jay Shetty's launch (22 million followers). After that I discovered the tech world and when AI came along, I realized I'm a builder at heart and never looked back! Building is so much fun 🤍
Last thing, if you're building with AI video or automation, I'd like to see what you're working on
And if you're hiring: I may be new to Contra but definitely not new to this work. Reach out for AI agent builds, apps, websites or anything in between.
P.s The video below is my AI avatar. My profile video is the real me :)
Two AI-generated images. Same creative intent. Different visual outcomes.
The images were generated with AI, but the art direction, visual decisions, composition, styling, and overall creative direction came from me as the human behind the work.
Now comes the real taste test.
Which one has the stronger visual language? Which one feels more intentional, more refined, and more memorable?
Logos fail to capture attention in environments where brand feel dictates user engagement.
I built these kinetic typography sequences using After Effects to establish brand recognition. The motion physics map directly to each distinct brand identity, ranging from rigid automotive reveals to fluid typography transitions.
This video perfectly captures the brand's interfaces by defining the foundational motion language developers will deploy for loading states and brand interactions.
