An exploratory study into creating natural, authentic-looking UGC content using AI. I broke the process into two phases: first mastering realistic AI image generation focusing on natural lighting, candid poses, and lifelike skin/texture before advancing into AI video generation to bring those images to life as UGC-style clips.
The goal was to close the gap between "obviously AI" and "could pass as real" content, learning what prompt structures and reference techniques produce the most believable results.
