To the AI creatives: I remember when AI became a sensation a few years ago. Everyone was amazed by the realistic quality and the infinite possibilities for creation. It was new, exciting, fun—but also intimidating. Fast-forward to today. Even though its popularity has grown and the technology has improved significantly, I've realized that many people who are not experienced with these tools have developed certain expectations about them. AI = Fast = High Quality = Cheap No. Yes, tools like Nano Banana, Kling, and Seedance can produce impressive results, but don't forget that behind those results is a person sitting at a computer, iterating over and over and over again until they find that "perfect" final image. I've had bad experiences with clients who think that just because I'm using AI, I should charge less. "You use AI. You can do it in 20 minutes. Why are you charging so much?" Well, what about the credits? What about post-production in Photoshop and Lightroom when needed? What about the constant back-and-forth to match branding guidelines and client feedback? Those minutes and hours count too—not just the speed of Higgsfield, Kling, or ComfyUI. And what about our hardware? Our storage drives? Our electricity costs? Our subscriptions? Know your value. Just because you're using AI doesn't mean you're an emotionless robot working nonstop, generating endless iterations for cheap dollars. Take your time. Trust your process. Don't fall for the "it's instant and effortless" narrative that many content creators promote—or that some clients expect. Plan your work. Define your goals. Sometimes a single image can take hours to get right. If a client thinks that because something is generated quickly it should automatically be cheap, the answer is still: No. Know your value. Have a detailed understanding of how much you spend on credits, software, hardware, post-production, and revisions. Clients are paying for results, experience, taste, creative direction, problem-solving, and the countless hours you've invested in mastering these tools—not just for the seconds it takes an AI model to render an image. Peace.

This animation was created for my next YouTube video, Letters to Jesus, part of my channel and project about Christianity and art, The Foundation: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFoundationDCSS In this video, I’ll be talking about the fascinating story of the holy relic known as the Mandylion. What I’m showing here is a 28-second sequence depicting the Fourth Crusade, a key moment in history when Venice attacked Constantinople. Amid the chaos, the Mandylion disappeared. Even though I know that one day I’ll be directing big-budget movies, right now I’m imagining what they might look like through AI. I invite you to follow my project and watch my first video, Christ et Le Cinématographe — a deep dive into the relationship between cinema and Christianity. Christ et Le Cinématographe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqDs7I8ot8I) (In that video, I also used AI for key sequences to recreate specific historical events.) The scenes were created using Claude for precise prompt enhancement, along with Nano Banana Pro on Higgsfield (https://higgsfield.ai?utm_source=chatgpt.com) for image generation. The videos were animated using Kling 03 and Seedance 2.0, and the music was created with Suno (https://suno.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com). Thank you for your time. I hope you enjoyed it.

Hoshicha This remains one of my favorite projects to date. Over the past year, collaborating with Hoshicha has been a defining experience for me as an AI Content Creator. It has granted me the creative freedom to experiment and refine a visual language that honors the brand’s heritage while achieving that elusive, high-end luxury aesthetic. I also did the landing video for their page: https://hoshicha.co/ Go and drink matcha... Hoshicha's matcha

A moment of solitude. Breath. Relax. Be in silence. Take your time. Analyze. Be with yourself. You are not in a rush.

I had the honor and pleasure of creating this visualizer for MIRAMAR’s upcoming release, “Shadows (Remix).” The piece is set in an underground rave within a futuristic city environment. All visuals were generated using ComfyUI — Nano Banana Pro, then animated with Higgsfield’s Kling 2.5, Kling 2.6, and Veo 3, ensuring realistic motion, depth, and cinematic continuity.

I had the honor to create this Ad for Superhuman's HBOT. The key, as always, was realism. From a single image, the entire scene came to life. Created using ComfyUI’s Nano Banana Pro and Kling Video.

A cinematic 3-panel composition with a consistent film-still aesthetic, soft muted lighting, and ultra-detailed realism. Panel 1: Tight close-up of an elegant woman with light skin, a relaxed expression, and dark hair tied neatly in a low bun, calmly drinking matcha from a rustic handmade cup. She wears a dark blazer and a light turtleneck, standing by a window with gentle ambient light that creates an intimate calm mood. Panel 2: Eye-level close-up of the same rustic matcha cup on a minimalist dark surface, with shallow depth of field and soft background blur. Panel 3: Wide lateral shot of the same woman seated inside a modern car, visible through the window, her posture calm and contemplative, with distant soft architecture and a mountain silhouette in the background, creating a premium, peaceful, aspirational atmosphere.

El nivel de precisión que ofrece Nano Banana Pro en las texturas de piel, ropa, ambiente y en la construcción completa de la escena es realmente admirable. Es una oportunidad que vale la pena aprovechar al máximo.
