HYBRID LIVE ACTION VIDEO / CINEMATOGRAPHER / AI ANIMATOR / COLORIST / AI PRE-VISUALIZATION

Pre-production began with an AI pre-visualization film, built from location photography I captured and AI-generated characters, allowing the visual language, pacing, and key ideas to be explored before the shoot. The final music video is primarily live action, with AI used selectively for pre-visualization, visual effects, and creative enhancement, expanding what was possible without replacing the photographed performances and environments. The images below highlight live-action frames from this hybrid production.
