AI PROJECTS & EXPERIMENTS
As a multi-disciplinary artist, writer, director, and now Professor of A.I. & Machine Learning at USC…
I've been lucky enough to be on most early Betas -- and surrounded by some of the freshest minds yet to hit the industry. Here are some sample generative AI and ML projects I've created. My goal is to push the boundaries of what’s possible in filmmaking & advertising with an emphasis on the original, innovative, and technical. (Because the last thing the world needs now, is more Midjourney images.)
Butterfinger - ‘Bigger is Better’ Previz
Unreal Egine + Stable Diffusion = the future of previsualization.
COINBASE ‘Ask A Penny’
Based on Coinbase's "Sad Penny" campaign, I built a tool for internal marketing teams to test Social concepts in any language, any length, and at any aspect ratio. (TikTok, IG, etc.). Editorial, music, digital voice creation, lip sync on the talking penny, and brand graphics all done "in the cloud" for a one-click production pipeline.
Don’t take my word for it. Visit the site and give a whirl yourself!
‘Night Of the Living Bots’
Wonder & Stable diffusion (cleanup, inpaint, and uprez) are a dynamite combination.
T-Pain: The Game
After working with Pain on a bonkers fever-dream of a music video, it only made sense that the next step was an autobiographical mobile game where Pain avoids teenage stick-up kids, skeevy managers, and of course, alligators.
Ask A Stoic
My original 'Hello World' combining my love for stoic wisdom with my need to have someone shout it at me on the daily. Trained on the top 20 texts with an edict to always start with the most fitting quote, then treat you like a true Stoic mentor would.
And if it looks a lot like I used this to make that Ask A Penny, trust your instinct. Visit Ask A Stoic here and get your wisdom on.
