My process highlights the rapid prototyping capabilities and visual storytelling potential of AI in advertising. View AI Ad Concepts
AI Animations
Ant Warrior's Graceful Cut: This project is a case study of my creative journey with AI animation. I set out to create a video of a muscular ant warrior performing a single, powerful chop on an apple. My experience highlights the challenges of using generative AI for precise, physics-based actions, and shows that a successful workflow is highly iterative. The project taught me that to achieve a specific result, you have to break down complex descriptions into simple, direct prompts. This log of my process reveals the AI's current limitations in areas like object consistency, physical logic, and how its visual bias can override my instructions. View Ant Warrior's Graceful Cut.
The Success of "Panda's Confusion": This project documented the journey from a complex animation idea to a successful, simplified one. After numerous failed attempts to generate a physics-based "Rabbit Kicks Panda's Butt" animation, a new, character-focused prompt was created for "Panda's Confusion." This prompt, which avoided complex physical actions and instead focused on the panda's emotions, succeeded in a single attempt. The project highlights the critical lesson that working with generative AI requires adapting a creative vision to the AI's strengths, moving from overly complex actions to emotionally-driven, character-focused storytelling.

Rabbit Kicks Panda's Butt: This project documented the iterative process of creating an AI-generated animated short. The primary goal was to achieve a specific, humorous action: a tiny rabbit performing a surprise airborne kick on a giant, clumsy panda. Through extensive prompt refinement, this case study highlights the significant challenges of using generative AI for precise, physics-based actions. The workflow revealed that success required moving from complex, multi-action descriptions to simplified, single-moment prompts. The project ultimately serves as a detailed log of the current limitations in AI video generation, particularly regarding object consistency, physical logic, and the tendency of visual cues to override textual instructions.
