Brief
Costruire un personaggio comico ricorrente con coerenza visiva e di voce attraverso episodi multipli, usando AI per timeline e budget compatibili con una serie social-first.
Vito Mellusso — AI series
AI-powered original stand-up comedy series. A character built from scratch with HeyGen for lip-sync, Veo 3.1 for environments and finishing in DaVinci. A recurring brand-character experiment proving AI can sustain a comedy series with consistent cross-episode visual identity.

Challenge
Live stand-up rests on timing, gaze, micro-gesture. Replicating those codes in an AI character without falling into the uncanny valley is the main challenge. Plus: keeping the character identical cross-episode without per-episode custom fine-tuning.
Solution
HeyGen for the talking-head with lip-sync on the comedy scripts; Veo 3.1 for environments and cutaways; SLATE Assets library locking the character (reference image, palette, micro-expressions). Comedy direction and screenwriting by Gianni Spezzano.
All framed within the SLATE methodology, see also the Custom AI Production service.
Output
Short-form episode series for social publication, with consistent cross-episode character identity. Extensible to new brand-character formats on request.

Il Fabbricante di Mondi — AI fantasy mockumentary
Fantasy mockumentary produced entirely with AI. A language experiment in which documentary fiction merges with AI video generation to tell the story of a character who, literally, builds worlds.
AI InstitutionalAI VFX
2026
An institutional spot for FICLU where effects normally requiring traditional motion graphics and VFX were produced entirely with generative AI. A case showing how an AI-native pipeline can absorb historically separate stages — animation, compositing, visual effects — into a single flow, compressing time and cost without sacrificing the result.
AI CommercialSpec Work
2025
Spec commercial produced as a professional application: an exercise in brevity, mood and cinematic direction within a commercial brief. A textbook case of how the SLATE workflow compresses a commercial concept-to-master in time the traditional pipeline would take weeks.
