AI WORKFLOWS
Most AI video tools optimize for visual output. I'm researching and designing AI workflows for emotional impact, a structured creative system that lives alongside generative video and animation tools, replacing the empty prompt box with a full creative lifecycle: brief, develop, make, reflect, refine. It surfaces storytelling principles, maintains memory of a project's intentions, and delivers craft-based feedback at every stage. As part of the research, I'm actively creating short films and 3D animation, stress-testing platforms, models, and workflows as a practitioner, not just an observer.

MOTION TESTS
Runway | 1939 Recreation: 149 W 21st, NY
Project: Using photos from the NYC Municipal Archives, I reimagined this 1939’s scene. Census records showed the french-owned ‘Chauvelot Press’ operated here and produced menus for the 1939 Worlds Fair’s French Pavillion.
Tools: RunwayML, Nano Banana, Gen-4
Comfy | Spline-Based Motion Tracking
Project: Applying keyframes to a visual spline in ComfyUI, I tracked the motion of the bunny making contact to the dog.
Tools: ComfyUI, LTX 2.3
3D Character
Project: Character Design, Model Sheet and 3D Mesh
Tools: ComfyUI
Motion Test
Project: Motion
Tools: Higgsfield
Motion-Driven Video
Project: I created a ‘performance’ video acting out the scene and voice. This was used with a prompt and image to drive the animation of Llama and Alpaca characters interacting with one another.
Tools: RunwayML, Nano Banana, Act-Two, Photoshop, Premiere Pro.
