ADIDAS AURA-X // an experiment in controlled chaos. I wanted to see how far I could push AI while keeping a cohesive visual language, design, and style - with the goal for a finished proof of concept piece for @adidas It took a bunch of tools (a lot credits) — and 5+ days of human time — to bring it all together. AI can’t replace human creativity, but it can help augment it. At the end of the day it’s pretty damn amazing/fun to have tools to able to create what I imagine in my 🧠 And yet, there is no denying that there will be a continuing human cost to our industry as we know it (jobs/career/mental health) 🪦 In the meantime… I’m available for hire 🎥 Concept/Art Direction/Edit/SFX/Color: 🙋‍♂️ Music: ‘Promise You’ by Ben Bohmer Tools: @apple MacBook Pro @stablediffusion @midjourney @klingai_official @adobe Premiere Pro (editing/sound design) @adobe After Effects (compositing) @photoshop @blackmagicnewsofficial Davinci Resolve (color grading) @topazlabs Gigapixel @topazlabs Video AI (upresing) @googlegemini @rockstarenergy @adidas @adidasrunning @adidasterrex #chicagoadvertising #CreativeDirection, #MotionDesign, #AdvertisingCreative, #SpecAd, #AdidasStyle, #athleisure, #Cinematography, #AItools, #AdCampaign @wearetma.agency @ogilvychicago @ddbchicago @havaschicago @highdiveus @dictionaryfilms @tessa.films @sarofsky_design @leoburnett @fusion_92 @camp_king @manifestoagency @alliesandcompany

POSTALES DEL PARAÍSO | Bahía Vespertina fragmented memories of a seaside dream 🌊✨ — Hopefully the first of a series, this was an experiment in creating a cohesive aesthetic and vibe using entirely AI generative imagery (and a whole lotta hours). AI has been notoriously hard to art direct and so I challenged myself to make something that felt ‘of-a-piece’. I created a custom look prompting profile within Stable Diffusion, then iterated hundreds of images with directed prompts from which I made selects and created a storyboard edit for flow. Then added the magic 🪄(movement) using @luma_ai newest #ray2 Image to Video Gen with custom prompts (and many more iterations). I put it all together, edited and custom sound design in @adobe Premiere Pro. Grateful to be part Luma’s creator program and access to test these new tools! 🎥 📷 🪄 SFX & Music from @artlist.io #cinematic #aiart #travelphotography #filmic #luma #analogvibes #lumadreammachine @midjourneyartwork #aiartist #paradise #tourism #sunfaded #cinemagraph

A classic coat with over a hundred years of experience.  One jacket for all seasons. Tightly woven wool to keep the wind out, warm enough to keep you going when the temperature dips, with the natural ability to wick moisture to the tip of each fiber, enabling it to insulate dry or wet. The classic @filson1897 Mackinaw Cruiser jacket never lets you down. Pair it with a pair of @imogeneandwillie Barton slim jean in eastland wash and the @harleyofscotland Lambswool turtleneck and you’re ready with the right fit for any occasion.
