I direct AI-assisted video, build the pipelines that make it production-grade, and embed with creative teams who need a senior AI lead in the room - not a vendor with a sales deck or someone who watched some YouTube. The infrastructure. The shot work. The hard "is this actually possible by Tuesday" calls. All of it, in your stack, on your timeline.
Direct involvement on the actual work. AI-assisted VFX shots, full music videos, brand content, trailers, parody, and the stuff that "wasn't supposed to be possible at this budget." Built on custom pipelines, not stock prompts - which is why it actually ships at the quality you need.
1–3 days a week, embedded with your team. Strategic direction, technical decisions, hands-on building, and the unglamorous work of getting AI into your existing pipeline without breaking what already works. Especially valuable when a studio is taking on its first AI-heavy project and needs a senior person who's actually shipped this.
A 2-week diagnostic for studios figuring out what AI actually changes for them. Where it fits in your pipeline, where it doesn't, what to build first. By Friday of week two: a prioritized list, a working prototype of the highest-leverage item, and an honest recommendation - including "don't bother" if that's the right call.
30 minutes. Tell me what you're actually trying to do. I tell you whether I can help - and if not, who can.
Two-page doc. Scope, timeline, fixed price, deliverables. Sent within a week. Yes or no, no haggling.
I show up, you point me at the problem, we make something work by end of week one. Then we iterate from there.
Documentation, training, and the thing actually working when I leave. *Not a lock-in — a transfer.*
Tell me what you're trying to ship, what's in the way, and what your team can already do. I'll tell you what I'd actually do in your position - whether or not it involves hiring me.
