My first time using Runway ML’s Gen-1 AI model.
I created this render of a human brain in C4D & Octane, then ran it through Runway ML.
Again, the comping needs more work but as an idea it has a lot of potential. At this time, they only export low resolution videos which also makes it diffcult to work with.

This was an attempt to use an AI made video from deforum in a comp with Type and other effects. I wanted to use it as a texture and background element. I think it was moderately successful, but has more potential as a future idea.
Made in After Effects for my latest YouTube video about AI.

I tried to use every AI image and video creation tool I could. At the time Adobe had just released Firefly, the AI type stylizer. So I tried to find a way to use it in a comp in my latest YouTube video about AI.

These were so fun to make. Made using Deforum through Automatic1111.
I ran some of these through a post process to reduce flicker. I plan to spend a little more time trying to refine a process to get cleaner videos in the future.

CBS show “One Dollar” | A short edit of the Title sequence I made with the team at Elastic.

Despite getting rave reviews and a loyal fan base the show didn’t catch fire like the creators hoped. May have been because this show came out as the network first switched to streaming. This is still one of my favorites.

This is a deep pull from well over 15 years ago or more. Before GPU rendering, where everything rendered out of C4D looked really rough and comping was the only way to try and save it.
