Sketches AI Direction Concept Frames

The Work I Do When No One Asks.

Not every idea belongs inside a brief. This is the other stuff. Sketchbook pages. AI-directed frames. Concepts built because the thought wouldn't leave me alone.

Some become pitches. Some become films. Most stay right here, as a record of how the ideas move before anyone pays for them.

The Practice

Sketch before I speak. Draw before I direct. The hand is slower than the brief, and that's the point. Thinking on paper is how the work stays specific.

The Tools

Pen. Notebook. AI as a collaborator, not a crutch. Every prompt directed with the same intent I'd give a cinematographer on set.

The Output

A living archive. Some frames feed future projects. Some exist just to move an idea one step further than yesterday.

A Working Sketchbook.

Assorted concepts across disciplines. Each frame was a decision: material, mood, framing, intent.
