Open AI Experiential

Role : Technical Director/ Lead Animator/ Designer


Korea Global Expansion

To celebrate the expansion of OpenAI’s Korea office, I was tasked with creating large-scale visual content designed for an immersive video installation. The piece was intended to play ambiently within the venue, enhancing the atmosphere of the event.

With the help of ChatGPT, I developed a custom Python script featuring a GUI that streamlined my workflow in Cinema 4D. The tool automated the process of iterating on flower designs by efficiently replacing texture tags, significantly speeding up production.

With limited internal support, producing a custom 5+ minute 4K 60fps video was a significant undertaking. To meet the deadline, I leveraged a range of AI-enhanced workflows, including upscaling and slow-motion techniques using Topaz Video AI, which played a key role in achieving the final visual quality.

All visuals created within Cinema 4D + After Effects.


Dev Day Presentation

I collaborated closely with presentation designers and product marketing managers to create an animated visual that played behind Sam Altman during his 2025 Dev Day presentation.
