GenAI avatar production
AI Avatar & Talking Head Generation
A custom GenAI workflow/plugin for creating an AI avatar, animating it, and applying lipsync so the generated speech track matches the avatar’s mouth movement. The system combines reusable prompt frameworks, avatar generation, speech audio, and sync.co-based lipsync into a repeatable production pipeline.

- Challenge

- My Role
- Created reusable prompt frameworks and a GenAI production workflow.
- Result

Premiere Pro workflow automation
Premiere Pro QC Automation Plugin
A custom Premiere Pro automation tool connected to Google Sheets. It pulled QC review notes by timecode, drew detailed markers directly on the Premiere Pro timeline, and allowed editors to receive revisions and update the status of each individual note in a live workflow.
- Challenge
- Manual review notes and timecode checks created revision overhead.
- My Role
- Built a department-wide Premiere Pro automation tool for faster QC.
- Tools
- JavaScript, CEP panels, Premiere Pro, Google Sheets integration.
- Result
- Reduced some ad adaptation tasks from 8 hours to 3 hours.
Early generative video storytelling
Storytelling With Early GenAI Video Models
I started creating storytelling-driven video pieces during the earliest wave of generative video models, including tools around the Veo 2 era. At that stage, the challenge was not just generating shots, but shaping them into a coherent sequence with rhythm, continuity, and a readable narrative.
