Overview

I provide high-fidelity AI video generation and post-production for brands, filmmakers, and creators. In a world of generic AI clips, I specialize in consistent, narrative-driven visuals that align with your brand's unique identity.
As the founder of an immersive film studio (Happy Sisyphus Productions), I don’t just "run prompts." I apply cinematic principles—lighting, composition, and pacing—to the latest generative models to create videos that feel intentional, not accidental.

The Toolkit (2026 Tech Stack)

High-Fidelity Generation: Expert in Google Veo 3.1, OpenAI Sora 2, and Runway Gen-4.5.
Precision Control: Scene directing via Seedance 2.0 and LTX Studio for frame-by-frame consistency.
Commercial Safety: Licensed workflows using Adobe Firefly Video for copyright-compliant brand assets.
Post-Production: AI-enhanced editing in Descript, DaVinci Resolve, and Topaz Video AI for 4K/HDR upscaling.

Services Offered

Cinematic B-Roll & Visuals: High-quality footage for ads, music videos, and film concepts.
AI Character Consistency: Developing persistent "digital actors" that maintain the same look across multiple scenes and shots.
Image-to-Video Transformation: Breathing cinematic life into static concepts, product photography, or storyboard art.
AI Storyboarding & Prototyping: Rapidly visualizing entire film sequences or game trailers with a high level of detail before moving to traditional production.

Past Work & Credits

My work is grounded in professional narrative production:
Hollywood Studio Credits: Contributed to Blumhouse’s Sinister, Sony’s Deliver Us From Evil, and developed the director’s pitch for Marvel’s Doctor Strange. I bring this Tier-1 cinematic rigor and studio-grade storytelling to every interactive and AI-driven project I build.
Narrative Expertise: Developed projects like Surviving Confession and the upcoming Follow the Dark, applying those same high-tension, "Christopher Nolan-style" aesthetics to AI video logic.
XR & Gaming Integration: Using AI video to bridge the gap between traditional film and immersive titles like Colors of Our Memories and Tales of the Forgotten.

Why Choose Me?

Technical Precision: I understand the underlying C++/Python logic of these models, allowing for deeper customization.
Narrative First: I prioritize story and emotion over "AI vibes."
Dual Citizen/Global Workflow: Based in the UK, working globally, with a focus on professional, compliant deliverables.
