Simple Shoes

Concept exploration using Simple Shoes as a creative reference. AI-generated product visuals taken through compositing, color grading, and animation. Hero loops and finished stills produced across multiple colorways as a proof of concept for generative advertising workflows.

New Balance

Concept piece inspired by the Tom Knox x Krooked NB 600. A single product photo transformed into a fully animated, looping social asset. AI-generated imagery composited with the original product, color matched, and art directed as a speculative social content exploration.

Process

01

Prompt & Generate

Concept development starts with the latest available models, whichever tool produces the best result for the brief. Flux, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion for stills. Runway, Kling, Sora, Veo, Hailuo for motion. The stack changes constantly.

02

Select & Refine

Raw generations are curated and iterated. The best candidates are selected based on composition, lighting, brand fit, and production viability. Inpainting and variation passes refine specific regions.

03

Composite & Retouch

Selected outputs are brought into Photoshop and After Effects for compositing, color correction, product placement accuracy, background cleanup, and brand-standard finishing.

04

Animate & Deliver

Final stills are extended into motion where needed. Subtle camera moves, product reveals, and environmental animation create looping assets optimized for social feeds and paid media placements.

Tools & Stack

Always evolving, adopting the best available model for each project.
