My Creative AI Video Workflow:

Claude for creative ideation, Google Whisk for visual references, Flora for motion prototyping, then Runway or Veo 3 for final footage generation.

Each tool handles a specific stage of the pipeline, prototype cheap, generate strategically, then bring it all together in After Effects. The real skill isn't using AI for everything, it's knowing when traditional methods still win.

Silicard Network is a collection of digital operatives set in REI III, a retro-sci-fi world where megacorporations, surveillance infrastructure, and underground factions compete for control of the last functioning city on the planet: Metroplex.

Each character is built as an operative dossier, AI-generated artwork, editorial visual identity, original lore, and presentation materials across multiple formats: character sheet, front card, and video post. The aesthetic draws from classic retro-sci-fi iconography and analog tech design, rendered through a sharp red, black, and orange visual language.

SIGMA is the second operative released in the collection. A signal breach specialist working for the Hardlink faction, his role is to force open temporary corridors through Metroplex's surveillance and control networks, drawing system attention away from physical runners on the ground. The work is short, precise, and physically punishing, with hard limits before his own body starts to fail.

Recently, something has changed. The city's infrastructure has begun adapting to his methods, anticipating breach patterns that should be untraceable. In REI III, when a system starts to learn, the operative who taught it becomes the next target.

Silicard Network is a Silica Graphics project, worldbuilding, lore, and character design built with AI.
