I’m an AI Video Creator and Generative AI Video Specialist, creating realistic AI videos, AI avatars, Digital Twins, AI UGC, commercial ads, cinematic content and training videos for businesses, brands, educators and creators.
Native French speaker | Fluent in English | HeyGen Certified Creator
I specialize in Generative AI Video Production, combining AI video generation, realistic AI humans, AI avatars, digital twins, AI UGC and professional post-production to create content that looks intentional, polished and human not like generic AI-generated footage.
I have created 100+ AI avatars for personal and client projects and generated **1.8M+ views** through My Digital Twin (AI clone ) content.
WHAT I CAN CREATE
• Realistic AI Avatar & Digital Twin Videos
• AI Commercial & Advertising Videos
• AI UGC & Social Media Ads
• Cinematic Generative AI Videos
• AI Product & Promotional Videos
• AI Training & Educational Videos
• Online Course & E-learning Videos
• AI Talking Head Videos
• AI Voice & Voice-over Content
• Short-form Videos for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube & LinkedIn
• AI Video Editing & Post-production
MY SPECIALTY: REALISM & CONSISTENCY
One of the biggest challenges with generative AI video is making every scene feel like it belongs to the same production.
I specialize in maintaining:
• Character and facial consistency
• Digital Twin identity consistency
• Clothing and accessory consistency
• Environment and background consistency
• Product and brand consistency
• Natural facial expressions and body movement
• Camera movement and composition
• Lip-sync and AI voice synchronization
• Visual continuity between scenes
I use reference images, reference sheets, structured prompting and repeatable AI workflows to maintain consistency across generations.
AI TOOLS I WORK WITH
HeyGen | Kling | Higgsfield | Seedance | Veo | ElevenLabs | ChatGPT | Claude | Gemini | Perplexity | Canva | Midjourney
I continuously test and integrate new generative AI tools when they provide a better result for a specific production requirement.
FOR BRANDS & MARKETING
I can turn a product, concept or script into a complete AI-powered creative, including:
Concept → Visual generation → AI characters/avatars → Voice → Animation → Editing → Captions → Sound design → Final delivery
This includes commercial videos, product ads, UGC-style creatives, social media content and short-form advertising.
FOR EDUCATORS & TRAINING
I also create educational and training content using AI avatars, screen recordings, AI voice, visual demonstrations and professional editing.
I am particularly comfortable turning complex AI tools or workflows into clear, beginner-friendly video lessons.
I use Camtasia for screen recording and have experience creating AI training content for my own skool community.
WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME
You are not just hiring someone to operate an AI generator.
I approach AI video as a production system.
I analyze the creative objective, choose the appropriate workflow, test generations, identify inconsistencies, regenerate what needs improvement, and take the project through post-production until the final result is ready to publish.
I am comfortable working from a brief, script, storyboard, reference video or simple concept.
French: Native
English:Fluent
This allows me to work comfortably on both French-speaking and international projects, including French educational content, voice-over, AI tool demonstrations, marketing videos and multilingual productions.
If you need someone who can combine Generative AI, creative direction, realistic AI humans, video production and post-production, I can help you build the right workflow and deliver the final content.
Send me your brief, reference or script, and I’ll tell you the most effective AI production approach for your project.
I replay within one hour.
