What I'm looking for

I’m available for remote freelance and contract AI production.

At Finalbyte, I make AI films that hold up next to live-action and bring a finishing standard shaped by beauty, fashion, and advertising post-production. I designed a stills-first AI pipeline, locking each shot as an approved frame before animation.

I directed WINSLOW, a one-minute AI fashion film with 30 finished shots, keeping cast, wardrobe, and props consistent from first frame to last after 14 storyboard passes. I also delivered AI shots for a French feature film using its production plates and actor reference, and built in-house AI agents for client relations and operations.
