I designed the brand identity for FGD Psychological Services and built its website from scratch in under 3 days. I built the website on Next.js with a fully functional CMS, a custom booking system, Google Meet integration, a Telegram notification bot, and more.
Everything was built with AI; what do you think?. You can read the full case study here. NGL, this is the best time to be a designer 😍
Building all of this in under 3 days is impressive! AI is opening up so many exciting possibilities for designers.
It's Tomorrow: a Pixar-style AI short
A 50-second comedy where I'm the main character. My girlfriend wakes me up at 2:57 PM, I rush to CapCut World LA in my slippers… and it's tomorrow.
Workflow
Character sheets (me and my girlfriend) and props (badge, slippers, bike) generated in CapCut.
Every shot generated with Seedance 2.5 in CapCut, including the native dialogue and sound. Extra camera angles were made by feeding a shot back in as a reference.
Edit: a hook cut in the first 1.4 s, L-cuts, continuity fixes, and sound effects from ElevenLabs. Final assembly and mix done with the help of an AI assistant.
Tools: CapCut · Seedance 2.5 · ElevenLabs
What if an action movie had ZERO cuts?

I built a one-take chase sequence in Seedance 2.5; following a fugitive running through chaos, explosions, and close combat in real time.
The entire film is one continuous shot, designed to feel immersive, fast, and cinematic from start to...
This is a brilliant action sequence! Love how the chase builds from that dark, red-lit alley into the neon streets, then opens up with that dramatic rooftop jump. The pacing and sense of urgency are fantastic.
Really impressive cinematic work from Nathaniel. 👏
