• ✔️ AI Video Production: Create high‑quality video assets (cutscenes, dynamic backgrounds, VFX, character loops) using Text‑to‑Video and Image‑to‑Video workflows.

• ✔️ Pipeline Development: Build and optimise ComfyUI workflows for specific animation tasks.
• ✔️ Storyboarding & Animatics: Translate scripts and static concepts into dynamic animatics and video mood‑boards.
• ✔️ LoRA & Model Tuning: Train or fine‑tune models on specific art styles or characters to ensure they remain recognisable in motion.
• ✔️ Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Traditional Animators and Game Designers to integrate AI‑generated layers into existing motion graphics or game engines.
