IGENNI - At this stage, my work goes far beyond advanced prompt engineering.

Each project begins with an internal visual storyboard. I then translate it into hand-drawn sketches, ensuring cinematic continuity, precise cuts, and clearly defined camera and lighting positions. These visual assets are fed into a conversational AI, which I use as a critical tool to refine and stress-test my prompts for image generation. Through several iterations, this process results in a strong, intentional reference image.

From there, I work with the AI to structure prompts for video generation, incorporating acting direction, camera movement, lighting behavior, and lip-sync accuracy. Dialogues are generated as part of this process, then recorded by me in my home studio.

The final stage is traditional editing and fine-tuning.

The key principle throughout is control: the objective is to make the AI say exactly what is needed — not to follow what it suggests by default. This distinction is essential, and it is where many AI enthusiasts lose authorship. AI is used here as a production instrument, not a creative authority.
IGENNI is an initiative I launched as a crowdfunding project for a web series set on an Earth-like planet where dignity and survival are constantly under threat, turning existence itself into a series of moral and political choices.
