Mini Me, 2026 | Role: Creative Director

Context

I was an early adopter of gen-AI image-making, but until recently I hadn’t experimented much with generative video. I pursued a personal interest to create a short TV spec ad.

One of my favorite places to visit growing up in England was The Lake District. One of my favorite cars growing up was The Mini. I decided to celebrate both with a Gen-AI video, using industry-leading tools such as Kling, Veo, Midjourney and Runway.

Reception

Within 48 hours the video received 500+ views across social media. The video also received acclaim from industry experts at several generative-AI software companies including Runway.
