PICKUP episode 1, from an original animated series I'm developing as my own IP.
Rupert Stain enters here. He's the standard the rest of the cast are measured against, so the episode had to sell his presence through framing and pacing rather than dialogue. Deep maroon against cold environments, held beats, and cuts that land where the sound does.
Generated with Seedance 2.5 on fal.ai. The workflow: character sheets and style bible locked first, then boarding against the track, then production. Doing it in that order is why characters hold their design shot to shot instead of drifting.
Concept, character design, animation, voice, sound design and final edit, all handled in one pipeline.

A single continuous one-take FPV aerial sequence made with Seedance 2.5 and refined in CapCut Video Studio.
I built a 30s bioluminescent aerial war piece that follows a lead rider through a living jungle canopy into a high-stakes mid-air engagement, the goal was to show continuous camera choreography, consistent character/mount design, and cinematic lighting while keeping the shot physically believable (no cuts).
This entry highlights Seedance’s ability to maintain visual continuity across complex motion, and was polished with sound design and color grading to maximize emotional payoff and social engagement.

The Fall of Emberhold ⚔️🐉
A cinematic fantasy war built with AI — thousands of soldiers, dragons, ancient magic, and a kingdom on the edge of destruction.
For this Contra Challenge, I wanted to create something that feels like a scene from a fantasy film, with a story that unfolds through scale, atmosphere, and cinematic visuals.
Created from concept to final video.
