AI before the hype.
Neural tools became part of David's practice before generative production became a mainstream category. Today they are used where they add real value: visual research, concept development, image generation, motion experiments and hybrid post-production.
AI is treated as a production material: directed, tested and integrated with live action, editorial rhythm and craft, rather than used as a shortcut.
