Built on the frontier: when production started, there wasn't a single strong AI model for image or video yet — they emerged as we worked, and I folded each new tool into the pipeline the moment it landed. Part filmmaking, part live R&D. As post-production lead across all seven episodes, the back half of the pipeline was mine end to end: multicam editing, sound design and mix, color, and the weave of live action, animation, and 3D into one seamless look. The journey logic of each episode — how the character travels from a lump of dough into a whole little adventure — and the edit of every dense, character-driven sequence were shaped shot by shot by me.
