  • My career in animation began with my studies at Animation Mentor in 2010, an animation school created by professionals at Pixar, Disney and Dreamworks, which provided a solid foundation in character animation. This led to opportunities as a lead character animator on several game design projects. The primary tools I used were 3DSMAX and Maya.

    From there I continued to develop skills in rigging, modeling, rendering, video editing and sound design. Later on, my work shifted into creating and editing engaging video content for social media platforms.

    After several years in animation, I shifted focus to explore different business ventures. This period allowed me to gain a broader perspective and diverse experiences, which have been invaluable in my professional growth.

    Recently, I’ve been drawn back to the world of storytelling, particularly excited by the potential of generative AI tools. Over the past year, I've been learning and integrating various AI technologies into my workflow. This includes text-to-image tools like Midjourney and running models such as SDXL and Kohya for LoRA creation locally. Additionally, I utilize platforms like RunwayML for image-to-video animation, Magnific for upscaling, TopazAI for image enhancement, and ElevenLabs.io for AI-generated voiceovers.

    Recently, I had the opportunity to contribute to the Our T2 Remake AI parody film project. The project's ambitious goal is to reimagine a classic narrative by producing 50 distinct, original short segments created entirely with generative AI tools.

    These new tools have opened up exciting possibilities, making storytelling more accessible and diverse. I believe that these technologies will enable a wider range of voices to share their stories, breaking down traditional barriers in the industry.

    On a personal note, my love for storytelling was sparked at a young age, influenced by Robert McKee's book "STORY." While my career has taken various paths, this early inspiration continues to guide my enthusiasm for narrative and storytelling in this new era of technological advancement.
