What happens when street-born skill meets next-gen speed? 🔥 When I first saw the Lenovo challenge from @creators.club_official , I thought…why not? I had no idea it would lead to one of my favorite edits this year. They sent over the Lenovo ThinkPad X9 – Aura Edition, and I wanted to push it to its limits: real-world style. No studios. No teams. Just one dancer, one laptop, and the streets of Vegas. The entire edit was done on the X9, and I was honestly shocked by how much power this ultra-thin machine delivered. Those #IntelCoreUltra chips didn’t miss a beat. And when performance feels this smooth… you don’t need a fancy stage. The sidewalk becomes your canvas 🎥🎲 Acrobat: @speedndama Laptop: @lenovode In partnership with: @creators.club_official #SmarterAIForYou #ad #vfx #augmentedreality #filmmaking

UNO Elite @F1 BTS 👇🏼 This project for @UNO Elite @F1 was the most exciting opportunity I had the chance to work on this year! 🔥 This project tested my creative skills in motion graphics, storytelling, VFX…and the pressure was on to deliver for @UNO and @F1 What originally started as a 30s concept evolved into 3 unique creative assets for the campaign. Each having their own flair and use case. For the Teaser, I combined traditional 2d motion graphics with After Effects advanced 3D renderer to add an @F1 car to the scene to bring tension and excitement for the launch 🔥 On the Launch edit, I teamed up with my brother @brandonfbx to craft a 3D racetrack in Unreal Engine to then composite with the 3D card graphics in After Effects. We tried to do 3D camera tracking for the cards, but didn’t find success. So the cards were all animated manually in After Effects to match the camera movement of the race track. This was a challenge, especially with speed ramping, but the result was amazing! ⚡️ For the Sustain, we decided to shoot in a green screen studio in order to carry out a dark and elite aesthetic to match the other creatives. The intro shot is hands down the hardest and longest shot I’ve ever edited (20 hours) and it was my first time keying green screen, but the results were awesome! Huge shoutout to @omgthewhyfiles and their team for helping me out at the last minute with the creative space! 🎥 Hope you guys enjoy the BTS of this insane project! 🔥 #UNO #UNOELITE #F1 #aftereffects #BTS #filmmaking

DOMAIN EXPANSION: INFINITE VOID IRL Hey everyone, I’ve been busy with client work lately and haven’t had the chance to make something cool in a while… But after finishing JJK last month, I got inspired by Gojo’s domain expansion effect in the anime. So, after getting kicked out of a few parking garages, I managed to get the shot I wanted. Here’s my best irl representation of that using @Adobe After Effects and Gaussian Splatting. Hope you all like it 🔥 Filmed and edited by me Acting talent: @keanu._perez Shot with the @sonyelectronics FX3 Splat method: @polycam3d Share with a friend who loves the show or crazy visual effects! #aftereffects #vfx #gaussiansplatting #jujutsukaisen #jjk #domainexpansion #gojo #filmmaker #adobe #filmmaking #editingskills #visualeffects

I spent 100 hours making this AI dance sequence… Originally I had planned to pull this off last year with my camera, but there were too many logistical problems: 1. Finding a dancer in my area 2. Planning Choreography for speed ramps 3. Practicing the shoot till it’s perfect 4. Finding a venue to shoot it at 5. Getting the lighting setup 6. Time and money Eventually I had let the idea go, my ambition was bigger than my resources… …but 3 months ago I found the spark to try again, this time with an AI workflow in mind. I started the project on @freepik then @invideo.io then back to @freepik again. Each time starting from scratch…😓 With the advancements happening with Nano Banana 2 and the character creator in @freepik I was finally able to get a consistent character, control the lighting, composition, angles and plan the camera movements and match cuts properly 🔥 Kling O1 came in clutch for this project to transform the environments seamlessly, there’s a secret to it I figured out 😉 Let me know what you all think in the comments! 🔊 Sound Design by @sebastianvaskio Interested in learning how to edit like this?

@sleep_token just won Album of the Year…so I spent 100 hours making this edit 🔥💃🏼 Nearly a year of planning shot compositions and lighting. Three complete restarts across three different AI platforms before it finally clicked ⚡️ The footage is AI, but the execution and planning took everything. For the match cut shots, Nano Banana 2 and Kling O1 were huge for maintaining the dancer’s motion while shifting the lighting and environment seamlessly. The trick is keeping everything at 24fps and exactly 5 seconds so the motion stays perfectly consistent 😉 Curious what you guys think about this one. Let me know in the comments or ask me anything about the workflow.

Comment “Travel” and I’ll send you the AI tool I used for this edit as well as a free detailed prompt guide! ⚡️🚀 What’s up guys! Wanted to share with you a behind the scenes look of how I made this epic hyperlapse travel reel from my recent time in Hawaii! It all started with an idea of “falling” into the map I saw at a gift shop. Then, I took some iPhone photos from my favorite spots I visited and managed to stitch them together using Kling 2.5 within @invideo.io Then I brought everything into after effects for speed ramping and 3D tracked text. This is the result! 🔥 Let me know what you guys think in the comments!

Should I break down how I made this? Everything you see here was made using photos and video from my iPhone, then brought into @invideo.io to transform the images into a high speed hyperlapse around the beautiful islands in Hawaii (Kaua’i and O’ahu) using Kling 🤖 I was on vacation with family and wanted to stay present and absorb everything the island had to offer. So, this combo of photos + AI felt like the perfect experiment to create an epic hyperlapse showcasing some of my favorite spots during my trip 🏝️ The idea for this all started after visiting a gift shop and seeing a map on the countertop. I immediately got the idea to create an epic falling transition into the map after seeing @keanu.visuals skydive transition and @dmytro.edits F1 car growing effect.

Comment “Space” and I’ll send you the Ai tool used for this! Take real footage from a car meet and transforming it into epic shots in space was so fun 🔥 I used a combination of Nano Banana Pro, Kling O1, and Kling 2.5 to pull this all off. Let me know what you think! #klingo1 #aftereffects #editingskills #freepikai

Only took me 20 yrs to see this band… Had a blast seeing @chiodos at the @bbowlvegas and decided to make this quick little edit using footage from my phone and stitching shots together with @freepik #chiodos #emo #brooklynbowl #allswellthatendswell

Share with a car fan 🚀 After seeing everyone try out these AI car edits, I had to give it a shot…in fact, I shot for the moon 🚀🌕 This video was made using @freepik but there’s a catch…some of these shots are real footage from a car event I went to @gearsandgrindsvegas and were later transformed using the new Kling O1 video-to-video model After some magic in After Effects and Pro Tools, this is the final result! 🔊 Sound Design: @sebastianvaskio 🚙 McLaren: @jasons_exotics 🚙 Skyline: @qvo_tactical Let me know in the comments if I should break this down! #klingo1 #aftereffects #editingskills #freepik #caredits
