A creative technologist takes an idea and works out what technology can do for it. Then builds the way it gets made, so it works a second time too.

That's the short version, as a 39-second pixel film. I'm the one with the hat.

In my own work it goes two ways. Creative workflows make the work: the images, clips and films. Operational ones keep it running, like the setup behind a team using AI every day. For both, the loop is the same: test it, break it, build it better.

The voice in the film is a synthetic version of mine. The animation is drawn in code.

Love this definition! "Works a second time too" is the real difference between a cool experiment and actual creative technology. Building the system so it repeats is where the craft is. That 39-second pixel film sounds fun - love that you put yourself in it with the hat! 😄

Stepping Through Art History to CapCut World LA 🎨✨ → 📍Audrey Irmas Pavilion

For the "Unexpected Arrival" theme, I wanted to blur the boundary between classic human artistry and next-gen AI filmmaking. Instead of a standard commute to Los Angeles, the journey pulls me directly through living, breathing masterpieces—from the swirling skies of Van Gogh’s The Starry Night and the crashing barrels of Hokusai’s The Great Wave, all the way to the iconic trapezoidal facade and barrel-vaulted ceiling of the Audrey Irmas Pavilion for CapCut World LA.

How I built it:

AI Generation & Continuity: Built as a connected 9-scene sequence using Seedance 2.5 inside CapCut, maintaining character consistency and fluid motion across completely distinct artistic styles and eras.

Editing & Polish in CapCut: Stitched and paced the transitions so each painting seamlessly morphs into the next dimension, combining keyframe camera momentum, color matching, and immersive sound design to make the final arrival in LA hit with maximum impact.

Why I built it: Every era of art had its own medium—from oil on canvas and woodblock prints to digital timelines. AI and CapCut are the new canvas. I built this piece to celebrate how creative technology lets us step inside our wildest visual ideas and bring them to life in seconds.

Brilliant concept Pedro! 🎨 Stepping through Art History for an "Unexpected Arrival" is genius - blurring classic human artistry with next-gen AI filmmaking is such a powerful angle. Love the creative take on the journey to Audrey Irmas Pavilion instead of a standard commute. Can't wait to see the full piece!
