A New Era
"Something wonderful is going to happen." - HAL 9000
Right now, the effects are becoming impossible to ignore: disruption, uncertainty, and also the possibility of remarkable new forms of expression.
TV & Film Editing
From early home computers to Hollywood trailers,
my work has always been about rhythm, emotion and impact. After decades in editing — from commercials and TV to major studio campaigns — I now combine classical craft with AI-driven exploration. The tools may change. The search for goosebumps does not.
YouTube Pick
Something is beginning to take shape.
Out of the flood, something of value is emerging: new visual languages, new creative access, and new ways to give imagination form. The tools evolve fast. Story remains at the core. AI LIVE is worth watching.

AI-Mining
I often think of prompting as a form of excavation: direction, instinct, trial and error. Some attempts reveal striking results. Others lead nowhere. I use AI not to automate imagination, but to uncover images, moods and possibilities worth developing further.
Gallery
A visual archive of experiments, reconstructions and cinematic studies — from AI-generated scenes to hybrids shaped through editing, prompting and selection. Some images remain sketches. Others become part of a larger language.
