Photorealistic AI Lifestyle — POV & Character Direction

Mateus  Oliveira

Mateus Oliveira

Two AI-generated POV diaries following the same character through everyday moments in Rio de Janeiro.
An independent creative project focused on believable expressions, character continuity, and the feel of casual smartphone footage.
From the beach to a street market and a neighborhood bar, the direction centers on small gestures and playful reactions. The aim was to make each interaction feel spontaneous and personal.
Character & Visual References
A shared character reference guided the visual identity. Selected images informed the settings, compositions, and everyday atmosphere of the scenes.

My contribution: visual concept, reference planning, character and scene direction, and AI video generation.
Deliverables: two 12-second vertical films in 9:16 format.
