AI × Real · Drag the line

Real camera.
Impossible shots.

AI doesn't replace the camera. It takes a real shoot where the budget, the weather or physics can't.

What it's for

Three ways I use AI.

Extend the world
01

Extend the world

Shoot one location, deliver five. New skies, seasons, crowds and sets around real talent.

Elevate the product
02

Elevate the product

The product is shot for real. AI builds the set, the light and the mood around it.

Sell the idea first

Sell the idea first

Concept frames and pre-vis before a single shoot day is booked, so the client sees the film early.

The shot above · Delivery campaign

One studio shot. A whole campaign.

The talent was shot once in the studio holding a plain box. AI moved him outdoors, branded the box and produced the variations the campaign needed, while the face, pose and light stayed real.
