VAGRANT SOULS. My first cinematic video, fully AI-generated.

This project pushed me into new territory. Not just technically, but creatively.

Built entirely with Z-Image in ComfyUI and Seedance 2.0 on Dreamina, VAGRANT SOULS is my exploration of what cinematic AI production actually looks like when you apply real craft to it: worldbuilding, character design, mood aesthetics, and art direction — not just prompting.

What I focused on: → A coherent visual world with its own atmosphere and logic → Characters that feel like they belong to a story → Cinematic language: lighting, framing, pacing, tone

Seedance 2.0 opened a door I hadn't walked through before. The level of cinematic control it enables is genuinely different from anything I'd worked with.

Watch it. Sound on. Tell me what you see.

Some product animations for the Wraith AI website.

Some of these features hadn’t been built in the product yet, so I helped the founder think through the UX and create preview prototypes for the website instead of waiting until they were fully finished.

Animated in Jitter and brought to life in Framer + Claude code

Very excited to enter Runway Big Pitch Contest for a chance to win $50k The goal was to make a trailer for a show that does not yet exist using Runway's AI tools. I really thought of a show that I would watch myself or share with others that is not just another futuristic sci-fi. UNMASKED is what I came up with. This is a documentary interview series that gives a platform to former mascots, as actual living creatures, as well as the performers and characters behind some of the most visible but least considered jobs in sports and entertainment. This show is supposed to be serious, but also sort of like a parody with a bit of irony here and there due to how ridiculous some of these stories can get. Each episode would sit one subject down in an interview room and ask them what they witnessed. The format is intentional and stripped back. One room. One subject. One camera. New character every episode. I really enjoyed working on this trailer. From brainstorming, script writing, character sketching, locking in room setting to a full storyboard, generating, editing, color grading, and human voice overs. All of that to present this 1 minute 40 second trailer. All AI generated. Would you watch it? 🚀 Let me know what you think

Big Brooch × Eche — Cinematic Virtual Runway Moscow Fashion Week 2026 · Digital Campaign

Four looks. Four walks. A runway that doesn't exist — but feels like it should.

From the full Eche collection, four hero looks were selected — those that carry the collection's cultural core: the Buddhist-Buryat-Chinese synthesis, the Europe-Asia duality at the heart of the brand. Each model enters, crosses, exits. The structure of a fashion show, reimagined as a digital sequence.

The location is an AI-reimagined bridge — rooted in a single photo from the brand's Shanghai shoot, fully rebuilt in a space that couldn't be built in reality. Casting was directed to reflect the collection's DNA: models with Buryat and Chinese features, each look preceded by a natural transitional element — nature giving birth to form.
