Created an AI-assisted UGC-style talking-head video using a hybrid local and cloud production workflow.
The character and scene were developed from a static image, then animated locally using ComfyUI and EchoMimic V3, with synthetic voice audio driving the initial facial performance and lip synchronization. The resulting footage was then refined with generative video processing to improve facial motion, expression, temporal consistency, and natural speech articulation.
The workflow was designed to reduce dependence on paid generation by using local GPU processing for experimentation and iteration, reserving cloud-based generation for final-quality refinement.
Tools & Techniques: ComfyUI · EchoMimic V3 · AI Voice Generation · Generative Video Refinement · Lip-Sync · Character Animation · AI-Assisted Video Production
Really impressive workflow. The local plus cloud approach is a smart way to balance experimentation, quality, and production efficiency.

Today, we’re launching Halate. 🎬
After months of building, creating, refining and probably overthinking a few things along the way, it’s finally time to share what we’ve been working on.
Halate is the next chapter for @Omar Duyarlar and me, a creative production studio built around something we both care deeply about: telling stories through film.
We partner with brands to turn ideas, innovations and real experiences into films that people actually want to watch. From case studies and product films to event productions.
But instead of writing a long post about who we are and what we do, we made a film about it.
So… meet Halate.
This is just the beginning.

Damn color grading goes hard! Great vid guys
A full shoot, built from a single product photo.
I started with one flat e-commerce packshot, the same asset any brand already has, and built the rest: fabric detail, styling, and the product worn, on two models, across front, profile and back. One coherent world, one locked direction.
It works two ways: as pre-production, to explore several directions before a shoot and decide with something real in front of you, and as final, campaign-ready visuals for social and e-commerce, refined down to the detail.
And it scales in every direction: more products and full looks, several models in a single frame, different sets and moods from the same starting assets, and motion.
