ABOUT
I build with AI. Then I document the process.
One-person studio, four original IPs in active production: an AI short-film series, a long novel, an e-commerce brand, a storytelling content site. This site only covers what I’ve done by hand: how each pipeline works, what it costs, where it broke — all recorded as-is.
The work is the evidence
Nothing on this site is written from thin air. These four works are where every post comes from.
A neon-noir assassin in the rain — an AI short-film series
From character bible and face-reference sheets to a full season edit, produced on an all-AI pipeline. The character-consistency and video-QA post series on this site come from this line.
Realistic Chinese fantasy — a long novel and its trailer
A 160-chapter novel in four volumes, with a trailer held together by Kling first/last-frame locking. The first/last-frame tests and long-form writing pipeline on this site come from this line.
An original character IP — a print-on-demand brand
From character design and bilingual store build to hybrid Printful + Printify fulfillment, all done hands-on. The e-commerce automation and AI site-building tests on this site come from this line.
Urban-legend storytelling — a content site and videos
54 storytelling pieces in a narrator’s voice, with feature videos in ongoing production. The narration tests, storytelling pipeline and wreck lessons on this site come from this line.
The house rule: only write what I’ve done
In a sea of AI content, the scarcest thing is not information, it’s first-hand records. These six are this site’s self-requirements for every post.
Name the setup
Tools, versions, parameters — all required.
Date everything
Test dates written clearly; outdated info gets noted.
Real screenshots
Key steps have real images.
Show the cost
Subscriptions, compute, time costs — all laid out.
Failures included
Blocked, wrecked, redone records published alike.
A clear verdict
Recommend or not, for whom — in one sentence.
