Mateus is ready for their next project!
A realistic AI presenter video created for short-form social media. The piece focuses on natural lip-sync, subtle facial expressions, clean captions, and an organic creator-style presentation designed to feel native to vertical platforms.
I handled the visual direction, AI character creation, lip-sync workflow, editing, pacing, subtitles, and final delivery.

A documentary-style opening sequence developed for “NeoConventional cu Ileana Gheorghiu,” built around an atmospheric editorial visual language.
The piece moves through maritime environments, rural landscapes, interview imagery, and cinematic visual details, creating a cohesive introduction suited to a documentary format.
I handled the full production pipeline, including visual direction, AI scene generation, motion design, editing, color grading, and sound design.

The Archive of Echoes — Original AI Short Film
“The Archive of Echoes” is an entirely original AI-generated short film that I conceived, wrote, directed, and produced from scratch. The story, characters, world-building, visual language, and musical identity were all developed by me.
The film is built around one core idea: every book is a cage.
The story follows a librarian responsible for an archive of parallel universes. By opening the wrong book, he accidentally releases a reptilian creature imprisoned inside a legendary world — revealing that this is not the first time their paths have crossed.
Before generating the final scenes, I developed a complete visual continuity system for the film, including character sheets, prop sheets, and environment sheets. This pre-production process allowed me to maintain consistency across the archive, the books, the costumes, the creatures, and the recurring visual elements throughout the story.
I handled the full creative pipeline: concept development, screenwriting, world-building, visual development, scene generation, editing, original music production, and sound design. Drawing on my background in music production, I used Ableton Live and generative audio tools to shape the film’s sonic identity.
This project was conceived as the first chapter of a larger original cinematic universe.

AI Fitness Influencer — Social-First Transformation Reel
An AI-generated vertical fitness reel designed around the visual language of native social media content. The concept follows a casual “cozy to gym-ready” transformation, combining natural lifestyle moments, mirror-shot framing, realistic character continuity, and a fast transition into fitness content. I developed the piece from concept to final edit, including visual direction, AI video generation, pacing, and post-production.

A cinematic brand manifesto created for KAWAK through a fully solo creative process. I handled the project end to end — from concept development and visual direction to AI image creation, motion design, and final production. Built around a Silicon Valley-inspired aesthetic and metaphor-driven storytelling, the piece was designed to translate KAWAK’s core message into a bold, visually cohesive commercial film.

A cinematic opening sequence created for “Rota de Fuga,” an alpinism program for a sports channel. The sequence follows a climber scaling a rock face at sunset, using close-up details, a strong sense of height, and a gradual title reveal carved into the mountain to establish the program’s adventurous identity. I developed the visual concept, creative direction, AI-generated shots, motion continuity, and final edit.
