A workshop for the AI era
The atelier where prompts become craft
AI videos, generative hosts, code-built design and automated content — every piece made with accessible tools, documented step by step, and finished with taste.

GitHubTwenty-one shots cut to an AI-written score. Ten of them were generated, eight were built by hand, three are both — and the reel doesn't tell you which is which.
Six disciplines, one studio — each an experiment in making high-end creative work with AI as the medium. Every build is documented as a case study you can follow.
Bespoke films, motion graphics and polished animation — concepted, generated and finished to a broadcast standard. From a single frame to a title sequence that stops the scroll.
An AI collaborator in the terminal — orchestrating tools into bespoke production pipelines, automating the tedious, and turning a brief into a system that runs itself.
Websites with genuine depth — real-time WebGL scenes, interactive product views and immersive stories, art-directed and hand-tuned. Agency-grade craft, without the agency.
Systems that make the work make itself — programmatic, template-driven video and design that renders on demand. Build the engine once; ship a signature look at scale.
Original characters and voices, designed with intent — believable AI presenters and narration in any language, handled with disclosure and taste.
Beauty, made repeatable — palette, type and interface defined once as code, then carried consistently across films, thumbnails and pages. Like this one.
Each project ships with the full story — the tools, the prompts, the failures and the fixes. Follow along and make your own.
Twenty-one shots cut to a Suno score — ten generated, eight built by hand in After Effects, three that are both. The reel refuses to say which is which; this page does, with the timecodes. The tell turns out not to be quality: every shot you read was built by hand, every shot you just look at was generated.
A dockable After Effects panel holding 28 motion-design expressions, each with editable parameters, plus a browser page that runs every one live so you can judge the motion first. The interesting part is the four bugs that only appear once the code reaches AE — including an ease that silently does nothing and a reserved word from 1999.
A stock infographic screenshot becomes a 38-layer After Effects comp. Claude Code writes one ExtendScript file that draws every circle as a real ellipse path and animates it with eased keyframes; a throwaway browser preview catches the layout errors before AE opens; three rounds of fixes kill a crescent-shaped bug — then the artist finishes the design by hand.
A 3-minute Vox-style history doc built entirely in browser tools. Claude researches, scripts and writes all 41 prompts into one file; ZappyFlow batch-runs them through Google Flow's nano banana; one universal prompt animates every 5-second parallax clip; ElevenLabs narrates, Suno scores, CapCut cuts.
A 16-second illustrated skate tutorial becomes a golden-hour surf film. One GPT-Image grid as moodboard and storyboard, ten Nano Banana Pro keyframes, Seedance first+last-frame clips, Topaz upscale, ElevenLabs voice and a Suno score — mixed with real type in Remotion, all generation through one Kie.ai key.
A teenage lucid dreamer is chased through the seven wonders by a shadow of smoke and obsidian — until she stops running. Script by Claude, then Storyboard Studio all the way down: 9 scenes, 29 frames, 15 locked assets, and a 69.6 MB save file that holds the whole production.
Ten seconds of FPV flight through a hand-painted favela at golden hour, racing a yellow paper kite to the rooftops. Two free Nano Banana paintings locked as start and end frames, one Seedance take between them — first take kept, nothing spent.
The Higgsfield Academy capstone — a teenage maker on a favela rooftop launches a drone built from scavenged parts toward a skyline he's locked out of. Character, location and prop locked as reusable Elements, then one eight-second shot done properly.
A meditation, a mosquito, and a studio pipeline — production bible, a three-layer continuity system, speck-scale reveal discipline, and the first Kling 3.0 clips. Part I of a making-of, published while it's being made.
FORGE & FUMÉE's Solstice — one AI hero image, three Seedance clips, Topaz-upscaled and scrubbed on a canvas so scrolling rotates the watch. Built and launched for under $10.
A scroll-stopping title animation rebuilt in the house style — a moodboard, two AI keyframes, one Seedance video, and a kinetic title composited in Remotion. No After Effects.
Poppet — fourteen mascots, each a single inline SVG brought to life with nothing but CSS keyframes. Three scenes, zero libraries, all playable live inside the case study.
Lumen — twelve generative-art pieces in vanilla JS and raw Canvas: flocking, flow fields, audio rings, hand-rolled 3D. All playable live inside the case study.
A product landing page with a live WebGL fusion core — orbitable, zoomable, tappable. 633 lines, no build step, no 3D artist. Embedded live in the case study.
A 30-second paper-collage explainer built scene by scene with locked keyframes — GPT Image 2, Gemini Omni and a safety-filter playbook, shipped as a Claude Code skill.
A Pixar-style Einstein tells the story of numbers for Chubletz Tales — Nano Banana, Veo and ElevenLabs, orchestrated by Claude Code from a single shot-list spreadsheet.
An AI-generated presenter, a synthesized voice, an open-source animation model and a code-built edit. Total cost: $0.
