Node-based workflow

Years of my own workflow in directing, producing, cinematography and pre-production, built into a node tree where every step has its own skill.

Results

  1. Pioneered the company's first AI-made CTV: built the case that moved a $100K+ live-action production to AI, then led its creative from concept to AI-specific script.
  2. Several ads made with an earlier version of the system are already live.

How it works

  1. Writing brings a writing philosophy, story structure and a brainstorming partner, well beyond a script doctor
  2. Directing handles intricate, nuanced performances
  3. Cinematography builds story-driven camera movement and cinematic composition
  4. I'm still refining it with every project

Yu

Famine grips a remote mountain village. A stubborn orphan girl meets a charming mystic who claims he can lift the curse.
