Generative AI Reel

This is all of my generative AI stuff.

I’ve always had a passion for creating imagery. From a young age, I was constantly drawing and painting. As a teenager, I developed an interest in photography and carried my Canon AE1 with me everywhere. In high school, I took art and drafting classes, further fueling my creative drive.

In 1998, I moved to San Francisco to attend the Academy of Art University, where I studied Animation and Visual Effects. Since then, I’ve worked across various industries, including film, advertising, video games, architecture, and even generative AI.

I still live in San Francisco with my wife, Steph, and our dog, Kaiju.

Clayton is dependable, fast and very skilled. He has saved my bacon several times by fixing errors on shots I’ve recorded and advising me on better ways to prepare future shots. His compositing support and consultation has given me the ability to use my creative imagination with confidence when required. Most importantly- he listens and takes the time to understand what I’m attempting to accomplish and that’s very valuable to what I do.
