Pablo O.

AI Cinematic Director | AI Video Creator | Storytelling

Juriquilla, Mexico
$45 per hour
1 job
$2K+ total earnings

I'm a film director and AI video creator with 10+ years of experience in cinematic storytelling. I specialize in building visual narratives from concept to final cut, combining film direction techniques with generative AI tools to create content that feels intentional, emotional, and distinctive. My work spans faceless YouTube channels, branded content, short films, and experimental AI art. I've directed projects for Vogue México, FIFA Mobile, and Plaza Sésamo, and my AI art has been exhibited internationally in NYC, Amsterdam, and across Europe and Asia. What I bring to every project: a director's eye, not just an editor's hand. I take a script or idea and make every decision: framing, pacing, visual language, sound. So the final result feels like a film, not assembled footage. I work with Runway (4.5, Kling, Veo), Midjourney, Higgsfield, Flux, Suno, ElevenLabs, CapCut, FCPX, and the full Adobe and DaVinci suite. I'm fluent in English and available 30+ hours per week for long-term collaborations. If you're building something that needs to feel cinematic, real, and emotionally resonant, let's talk.

Gabriela I.

Illustrator and Editorial designer

Chihuahua, Mexico

Greetings! My name is Gabriela, I am an illustrator based in Chihuahua, Mexico. Since I was little I was always attracted to art and stories, and once I discovered the world of illustration I wanted to be part of it. I studied a degree in Graphic Design because it was the most affordable at the time but I didn't let that stop me. Thanks to my desire to learn and the kindness of the people who share their knowledge on YouTube, I acquired the necessary skills to offer my services, choosing Photoshop as my main tool. Through my work my taste for vibrant colors and the use of textures to enrich images is revealed. Before becoming a freelancer I had the great experience of working at McCANN México creating illustration content for Cheerios México. I learned about teamwork and communication processes that were useful in my projects with Grupo Edelvives Publishing House. Since I began this journey I've been working mainly doing children's books with independent authors, but now I dream of working with publishing houses and seeing my illustrations in many libraries around the world. Fantasy, landscapes, talking animals, humor and heartwarming messages are the core of my inner child. I am currently working on my writing skills so I can soon share my stories with others. I love storytelling, if I weren't an illustrator I would surely be an actress (I acted in commercials in Mexico City!), or I would found a puppet company.

AI Automation & Agent Audits | Claude Code, MCP, n8n

Mexico City, Mexico
$65 per hour
3 jobs
$2K+ total earnings

I help teams find out why their AI agents fail, connect Claude to business tools, and build automations they can test and maintain. If your team keeps repeating setup work or cannot explain the API bill, start with a focused review and a clear next step. What you can hire me for - AI agent audits: findings on failures, costs, permissions, and the changes worth prioritizing, backed by evidence. - Claude Code setup: repository instructions, permissions, and a repeatable task your team can run and verify. - MCP integrations: a defined connection to your API, with access rules, error handling, and documentation. - Document automation: n8n workflows that combine LLM processing, validation, and human review. My work includes AI fleet auditing, TimbraBot for financial document processing and invoice-to-bank reconciliation, and an internal Telegram agent system with approval gates and audit logs. I've delivered technology projects since 2009. Through WASD Studio, my earlier work included immersive training for Coca-Cola FEMSA and Alsea. I've also completed seven Anthropic courses, including Claude Code in Action and Introduction to Model Context Protocol. We agree on the deliverable, acceptance checks, and scope before work starts. You receive documentation and a handoff so your team can operate what we build. Based in Mexico City. English and Spanish, with overlap across US business hours. Message me on Upwork with your workflow and the issue you want to solve. I'll recommend a practical first step.
