New to Contra

Miguel is ready for their next project!

This project was created entirely using AI, from concept to final video. I handled the full narrative, visual direction, and cinematic structure, using AI as the production pipeline. The film follows an astronaut exploring a spore-filled planet whose perception begins to break, blending reality with memory as the situation turns unsettling. Every element from visuals to pacing and dialogue was crafted to achieve a grounded, cinematic feel.

The piece is a stylized, fast-paced ad centered around the energy and identity of a sneaker store. Built through dynamic cuts, close-up product shots, and smooth transitions, the film highlights the textures, movement, and presence of each pair. The pacing and visuals are designed to feel sharp and intentional, blending lifestyle moments with product focus. The goal was to create a cohesive, cinematic piece that captures the culture around sneakers while keeping the spotlight on the product through rhythm, detail, and visual flow.

This project is one of many AI-driven videos I produced during my time at Pray.com (http://Pray.com), where I worked for two years creating faith-based content. My role involved developing video concepts from idea to final delivery, using AI as the full production pipeline across video, social media content, and podcast visuals. The piece follows a voiceover-led structure, using cinematic visuals, pacing, and tone to support the message and create an engaging, accessible experience. The focus was on clarity, emotional resonance, and consistency, ensuring the content felt grounded while still visually compelling. This project reflects a broader body of work centered on storytelling through AI, combining narrative direction, visual design, and efficient content production at scale.

This project was created entirely using AI, from concept to final video. I handled the full narrative, visual direction, and cinematic structure, using AI as the complete production pipeline. The Ad captures a series of parallel moments, different people getting ready to step out, each in their own rhythm, space, and energy. The focus is on atmosphere, pacing, and visual continuity, using smooth transitions and grounded, cinematic shots to weave these moments into a single flow. What ties everything together is a subtle, shared action: paying with Visa. Every element, from editing to timing and visual tone, was designed to feel cohesive, natural, and emotionally connected without relying on dialogue.

This project was created entirely using AI, from concept to final video. I handled the full narrative, visual direction, and cinematic structure, using AI as the complete production pipeline. The piece is a fast-paced, voiceover-driven ad built around the nonstop nature of the NYC subway. Using sharp cuts, rhythmic editing, and grounded, cinematic shots, the film follows different moments across the system, commuters, late-night rides, and in-between transitions all stitched together through movement and timing. The core idea is simple: no matter what, the subway is always open. Every visual and edit was designed to reinforce that constant motion and reliability, creating a cohesive, high-energy piece that feels true to the city’s pace.
