AI Film Director | 3D Animation & Cinematic Storytelling

Some people use AI to generate clips. I use it to tell stories. There's a difference between content that looks impressive and content that actually moves people. My work lives in that gap — where cinematic direction meets generative technology, and every frame is built with intention, not just prompts. I've spent years understanding what makes a story stick: the lighting that sets the mood, the character that feels real, the sequence that keeps you watching. Now I bring all of that into an AI-powered workflow that delivers studio-quality results without the studio price tag. What I create: 🎬 Cinematic AI Animation (3D & 2D) — Character-consistent, narrative-driven productions with a handcrafted feel. Think Pixar soul, not Pixar template. 📖 Narrative AI Stories — From script to final render, I build immersive worlds where AI is the engine, but the story is always the driver. 🎵 Lyric Videos & Spotify Canvas — Visual experiences that translate an artist's essence into motion. Not just pretty — emotionally on-point. ✨ Video Refinement & Direction — Dynamic captions, advanced lighting, texture work. The kind of finishing that separates "AI-generated" from "professionally directed." A little about me: I'm a national award-winning artist and content creator — Finalist at TV Globo's Estrela da Casa. That experience taught me something no software can replace: storytelling is a craft, and technology only amplifies it when you know what you're saying. Whether you're building a children's YouTube channel, launching a music video, or creating a concept for a luxury brand — I bring the vision. The technology just helps me get us there faster.
