Beyond excited to share the latest installment in the series: “VEXA – CHAPTER 3” 🤎

One of the most fascinating aspects of working with rapidly evolving AI technology is that, as the tools become more powerful, they also become more invisible. The conversation shifts from how it was made to why it was made.

For this chapter, I wanted to focus more on characterization. Who is Vexa beneath the armor? What shaped her into the person she has become? What motivates her actions? What secrets is she carrying? How do small moments of sarcasm, hesitation, confidence, or vulnerability help define who she truly is? How does all that come across without giving away too much to the viewer?

As creators, we’re finally reaching a point where we can spend less time fighting the technology and more time exploring the things that matter most: world-building, personality, emotion, and story.

I had an absolute blast pushing deeper into Vexa’s universe, and yet … still barely scratching the surface.

“Chimera Protocol - Episode 6: Surge” is OUT NOW
As Detective John Graves rushes to Riverside Plaza, operatives of the rogue splinter cell Chimera terrorize civilians and chaos spreads through the city. But when a sudden quantum spike is detected, a horrifying truth emerges … the barrier between realities is destabilizing, and something may already be crossing over.

Written & Directed by @davide_bianca

This was a super fun one to make, leaning heavily into inspiration from classic anime car chase sequences such as “Initial-D”, “Spriggan”, “GunSmith Cats” and even a personal tribute to “Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro”.

Make sure to watch all episodes in full 4K on our official YoutTube channel or on @escapeaimedia at www.escape.ai.

Still processing @digitaldesigndays in Milan. I’m posting late because I took a Venice Biennale break after that. Now, here I am using my bragging rights as I had the honor of presenting my first talk “Brain + Eyes + Robots” on the Aqua stage for DDD’s 10-year anniversary edition.

A huge thank you to @filippopsr and the entire DDD team for the trust, not just to take one of the cherished spots on stage as a speaker, but to design the promo and the main look that lived across the venue for all three days. Seeing your own visuals stretched across the event you’re speaking at is a feeling I don’t think I’ll forget.

I’m humbled by the messages and conversations that followed the talk, and still buzzing from every exchange with friends I hadn’t seen in too long, and with people I’m thrilled to now call new ones, about where our industry is, where it’s drifting, and where we want to push it.

I wasn’t able to watch many talks, but loved the energy/message from both @laundry_studios PJ Richardson and @buck_design @emily_rickard the coolness and authority of @studioanrk, the insightful retrospective by Yates Buckley from @unit9ltd the thoughts-provoking @simon_clowes the punked up talk by @frankiecaradonna and the closing one by @madebymonks Wesley ter Haar. Sad I missed @digitalkitchen and Stefan Sagmeister that were directly clashing with mine.

Shoutout to The Visual Agency for gifting a #Talkscapes poster to every speaker and to mega talented artist (not AI) @muda_cap for live sketching some of the speakers, me included. Unexpected and much appreciated.

THE LAST BLUE SKY - EPISODE 1: FIRST BREATH

Screened last week at the AI Film Festival Japan @aifj2025 the country’s largest international festival celebrating AI-driven storytelling.

In this world, the Aozora Defense Corps stands ready to confront colossal kaiju emerging from another dimension, events known as First Breaths, when something crosses over… and takes form.

Built using Seedance 2.0 @dreamina_ai
Upscaled with @topazlabs (Starlight Precise 2.5)

A modern tokusatsu series blending Showa-era kaiju spectacle with suitmation-inspired creature design and practical-style effects.

#AI #GRAiL #DreaminaAI #Seedance2 #TopazLabs

Lately I’ve been exploring animation again — one of my favorite spaces to experiment in.

For this reel, I built a short cinematic story around a rebellious graffiti artist moving through the city.

She tags.
She runs.
She cuts through subway platforms.
And the city becomes something else.

No spoilers :)

Workflow:
Video: @dreamina_ai + @ByteDance / Seedance
Upscaling: @topazlabs Labs Astra 2
Music: @sunomusic

Astra 2 gave me the control I needed to push stylized animation further — Sharpness, Creativity, and prompt-guided enhancement made the final result feel much more intentional.

Huge thanks to @monjibatmunkh, Hope Wegryn and the Topaz Labs team.

Check out Astra 2: https://astra.app/create
