Sevdaliza - Nothing Lasts Forever ft. Grimes

Faceswapped bodybuilders in this music video with those resembling Sevdaliza, Grimes, Madonna, Julia Fox, and A$AP Ferg. Instead of using a traditional deepfake method, we used new AI/ML tools along with traditional compositing to finish this project. In total, we executed faceswaps on 17 shots throughout the video.I worked closely with VFX artist Nils Crompton. As this was my first time working with Flame, I had the pleasure to learn new techniques on a daily base from an industry veteran.It won gold at the AEAF Award 2024

Ai Playground

Here a small collection of videos/images I made using Ai. I try to keep these as quick little tests to show off a technique.
Just to expand my arsenal of tools in filmmaking and approaching VFX.

Test on using stable diffusion the texture a 3d scene.

Test on the Bob Marley One Love movie trailer using a combination of stable diffusion and nuke.

Was asked by the director Paul Trillo to do an AI aging shot. The workflow for this shot consisted of making a few keyframes with Stable Diffusion, tracking the aged keyframes back on using EbSynth, and using traditional compositing in Davinci Fusion to bring the shot together.

Quick test I did using Stable Diffusion to de-age an actor. Got inspired after seeing the Indiana Jones 5 trailer and the rumors of them using AI to de-age him in the new film. Every shot in this took about 20 minutes to do and was all done with Stable Diffusion 1.5.

Using Stable Diffusion 1.5 in combination with controlnet and EbSynth I turned this short The Boys clip into a style resembling the Spiderverse movies. The spiderverse SD model was made by the user Nitrosocke on Github. Using some traditional VFX compositing I added effects to more closely match the specific spiderverse style.

Versace Jeans Couture

This was such a fun one to work on! I did the cleanup shots and blended in all the awesome CG work that David worked on. The on-set reference was spot-on, which made my job a breeze and the whole process super enjoyable

Had the pleasure to work on compositing, cleanup and digital matte painting in this medieval meets sci-fi music video. Added castles, replaced modern buildings into medieval looking ones, changed skies, added mountains to the backgrounds and comped in the CG drones.

Adidas football anthem

I was very fortunate to be part of this project at Glassworks VFX. As someone who watches football weekly, doing compositing work with professional athletes has been a dream come true. I worked on various shots, including removing jewelry, adjusting ball trajectories, filling in TV and phone screens, recoloring socks, and even adding cat artwork to decorative plates. I also created fan banners and artwork that our 3D team incorporated into the stadium scenes. It was a massive team effort, and I'm proud to have been a part of that team.
