CTRL_ALT_GOD - GODS IN UNIFORM FT PSALM/0 |‪ Official Music Video
Billy Boman
The floor trembles. Steel and bone hum in the same key. I see halos burning behind riot shields, white noise baptized in gasoline. Every screen is a shrine, every cop light a sermon. The prayer is violence. The answer- static. Voices in the wires, chanting names I forgot I had. They hum in Latin tones, choir of static, blood of the circuit. No heaven. No signal. Only the pulse. Choirs bend through reverb and smoke, the drums feel like they’re chewing through flesh. Skulls light up like street lamps. An empire of concrete angels, all marching to a looped confession. My chest syncs to the siren’s tempo. God is somewhere in the distortion. Fade the light. Let the feedback pray for me. I was born in the hum. I will die in the hum. Just endless bodies. Merging, Flesh.

Snickers - The Traffic Jam AI Commercial 2025
Billy Boman
This Snickers spot took just 2 days to produce — built on a foundation of years of creative instinct and experimentation. After a short break from posting (client work keeping me busy), I wanted to dive back in with something fun: a deadpan humor concept with an on-brand twist for Snickers, anchored by their legendary line: “You’re not you when you’re hungry.” What makes this one special? ✅ Seamless product integration – the Snickers bar pull feels natural, not staged. ✅ Cinematic realism – aiming for a grounded, filmic look instead of that plasticky AI gloss. ✅ Character consistency – the cast holds up believably across every shot. ✅ Performance & humor – avatars delivering subtle, funny, human-like timing. Production Notes: 🛠️ 95% Google DeepMind Veo 3 🛠️ 5% Seedance 1.0 🛠️ ElevenLabs (sound design & VO) 🛠️ After Effects (post-production) 🛠️ Topaz Labs AI Video (upscaling) ⭐ Bonus: There’s a hidden 1993 film reference tucked inside — see if you can catch it. ⭐

Red Bull Gives You Wings AI Commercial 2025
Billy Boman
We've all had boring office jobs, haven't we? While AI can definitely be used to lean into the obscene, crazy and over the top - it can also accurately portray the mundane. Although here with a slightly absurd twist. What I'm particularly happy with about this one: ✅ Product integration - the Red Bull can appears not from frame one, but rather in the middle of the fridge shot, which makes its reveal blend organically into the scene. ✅ Cinematic realism - ditching the plasticky AI sheen in favor of something more grounded, tactile, and filmic. ✅ Character consistency - every frame holds up; the cast feels cohesive and continuous throughout. ✅ Performance direction - pushing AI avatars beyond the uncanny, toward authentic, expressive, and even funny moments. ✅ Tagline music integration - I managed to get a great angelic choir meets energetic dubstep track to bridge the transition from the consumption shot to the transformation moment featuring various Red Bull associated sports (Snowboarding, BMX etc) Tools used: 🛠️ 95% Google DeepMind Veo 3 🛠️ 5% Seedance 1.0 🛠️ ElevenLabs (SFX & VO) 🛠️ All post in Adobe After Effects (Grade, Transitions etc) 🛠️ Upscaled with Topaz Labs AI Video. 🛠️ Suno for the music track P.S This work is purely fictional and for experimentation purposes only and has no affiliation with Red Bull.

Night Spirit - Rope Psalms | Official Music Video
Billy Boman
My latest AI video work is the 1st single of the incredible Dark Southern Gothic Country artist "Night Spirits" upcoming album "And The Earth Sang Black..." The songs evocative nature lends itself very well to my personal aesthetic and field of interest - drawing from Cinema, Cormac McCarthy's incredible writing and the growing up with a dad playing Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and countless other Country legends. I had a blast putting this one together, drawing on visual archetypes to evoke that gritty feeling of the untethered west - as well as various esoteric and biblical narratives to complement the haunting lyrics ("Rope Psalms" being the sounds of the creaking noose of the hanged in the wind...) Made entirely with one of my favorite video models - Veo 3. Ink splashes transitions and grading in After Effects. Upscaled with my trusted @topazlabs to 1080p. "In the still hour before dawn, when even the crows hold their breath, there is a sound that stirs across the prairie . the slow, mournful creak of rope twisting against wood - Rope Psalms. Long ago, in the scorched years of the early frontier, there was a preacher who traveled barefoot from settlement to settlement, carrying no Bible, only a crown of thorns and a warning in his eyes. He refused names, but the people gave him one — The Hanged Saint — after they found him swaying from a judgment tree, silent, with pages of scripture nailed to his chest and stuffed in his mouth. By morning, his body had vanished, but the rope still moved. Since then, in every town marked by betrayal, drought, or blood, they say the rope returns. And with it, the sound: a slow, haunted creak — like a psalm sung for the damned. “Rope Psalms” Written and performed by Night Spirit From the album "And the Earth Sang Black…" (2025) All music, lyrics, vocal performance, and visual assets are original works.

Allsaints "Born Free" | AI Spec Commercial 2025 | Google Veo 2
Billy Boman
"Born Free" emerges as a provocative exploration of subversive countercultural aesthetics, blending the raw ethos of rock and roll rebellion with the enduring sartorial language of subcultural uniformity. Anchored in the symbolic resonance of the black leather jacket and the archetypal five-pocket denim, the film interrogates their dual role as artifacts of timeless resistance and as vessels of pop-cultural defiance, crystallizing the tension between individual expression and societal conformity. Crafted entirely with Google DeepMind’s Veo 2 model, the film represents a groundbreaking foray into the possibilities of AI-generated cinema. The model’s unparalleled capacity for producing dynamic, hyper-realistic visual compositions transforms New York City into a vivid, textured playground for the protagonist’s quotidian rituals. Her journey—punctuated by skateboarding through urban labyrinths and seizing the stage at an underground concert—unfolds as a kinetic interplay between movement and cultural assertion, seamlessly melding the mundane and the extraordinary. This experimental narrative dismantles traditional paradigms of advertising by reimagining live-action realism through an avant-garde lens. The juxtaposition of vibrant, digitally rendered film grain against stark black-and-white compositions injects a visceral analog quality, evoking the nostalgia of 20th-century cinema while embracing the technological futurism of the 21st. These aesthetic contradictions form a conceptual dialectic, wherein the grayscale palette becomes a canvas for the eruption of color, emphasizing the interplay between permanence and flux, structure and improvisation. By collapsing the boundaries between commercial media, narrative filmmaking, and digital art, Born Free transcends the conventions of advertising, positioning itself as a bold critique of visual storytelling in the AI era. Its subversive approach and avant-garde methodology herald a new paradigm of cinematic experimentation, one where the tools of the future reinterpret the cultural artifacts of the past.

Billy Boman
"Chanel - The Camellia Collection" is a conceptual and educational project made for the purpose of exploring AI & advertising in a img2video context. It has no official affiliation with Chanel. The piece is centered around the white camellia flower, which is a signature symbol for Chanel, embodying elegance, purity, and timeless beauty. Introduced by Coco Chanel in the 1920s, the flower became a personal and brand emblem. Coco was drawn to the camellia's simplicity, lack of scent, and perfect symmetry. It also symbolized rebellion against convention, as camellias were often worn by dandies and non-conformists. Chanel's choice of the white camellia, associated with purity and perseverance in Asian cultures, reflects the brand's ethos of understated luxury and strength. The flower appears in Chanel's jewelry, fashion, and beauty lines, reinforcing its iconic status.

During 2024 I had the huge privilege to work as the AI Artist on a series of 5 Ballantines Whiskey ADs for the Polish Market (one of the key EU markets where Ballantine's has seen strong double-digit growth & success) This was our first endeavor into a new hybrid & crossover way of filming AD's - as my role as the AI Artist was to craft very specific photorealistic, believable and lifelike environments and backgrounds. The process was: ✅ The AI backgrounds, consisting of images and videos in crisp 4K resolution, were displayed on enormous LED screens. ✅ A camera was positioned about 3.5 to 4 meters from the LED screen, allowing for natural separation between the foreground and background. This distance helped blur the pixels on the screen. Extensive adjustments were made to ensure the perspective aligned with the background angles, making them appear more realistic. ✅ Great care was taken in casting local talent and selecting appropriate props, which were placed in front of the LED screens. ✅ The lighting used to illuminate the actors and props was carefully matched to each background, allowing them to blend seamlessly and believably. ✅ A total of five ads were filmed, featuring real actors, real products, and real props, all set against AI-crafted backgrounds of specific Polish locations such as cityscapes, forest festivals, cabins, old apartments, a bar in Ballantine's brand colours, gaming arenas, and more. This approach allowed us to "visit" places that would have been beyond the project's budget and scope. ✅ Lastly, meticulous attention and care were devoted to post-production. The editing and motion design are crisp and polished. This is a very interesting new way of bringing AI into a part of the process, allowing the technology to solve problems that would otherwise have 1) Cost of a lot of money & 2) Taken a lot of time. Directed by the talented Priit Palumaa whose vision & treatment really took this one to the the next level. Not to mention his openness & curiosity to how AI tools could fit into the creative process of the project 💡 Tools used: ✅ Midjourney for all images. ✅ Runway Gen-2 & SVD 1.1 for the videos. ✅ Magnific AI & Leonardo.Ai for creative upscaling. ✅ Topaz Labs for non-creative AI upscaling.

"The Dance" | Lacrimosa | That Tearful Day
Billy Boman
The Dance" / Lacrimosa / That Tearful Day is a contemporary visual AI rendition of Mozart's classic piece "Lacrimosa" which was composed in the final months of his life in 1791. The "Lacrimosa" is part of the "Requiem Mass in D minor," K. 626, which Mozart was working on when he died on December 5, 1791. The piece was left incomplete at his death, with only the first few bars of the "Lacrimosa" completed by Mozart himself. The remainder of the Requiem, including the "Lacrimosa," was finished by his student Franz Xaver Süssmayr, based on Mozart’s sketches and notes. The piece is centered around "That Tearful Day" as a symbolic metaphor for the End of Days as prophesied in various biblical scripture like Isaiah 66:15-16 (NIV): "See, the Lord is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For with fire and with his sword the Lord will execute judgment on all people, and many will be those slain by the Lord." The piece is thus a juxtaposition between the ancient prophecies of The End of Days swallowed by fire, juxtapositioned with ballet as an art form - which bridges the human experience with the melancholic and the divine through its expressive movement, poignant narratives, and aesthetic ideals. All rendered out with the latest cutting edge AI Video Model RunwayML 's Gen-3 Alpha. Hence achieving a delicate balance between evoking the ancient divine fury of fire, the classical melancholy of ballet and the visual intrigue of the latest AI video models.

This is video has no affiliation with Acne in any way and is just a educational experiment with AI video tools within the realm of fashion. AI allows creatives to imagine anything, and thus we can dream up ideas that would be too costly or right out strange to even try. And thus, I went full blast Michael Jackson Black or White video inspired transitions with a uncanny yet visually impactful twist for a imaginary Autumn Winter 2024 campaign for Swedish fashion powerhouse. All images are from the current collection and this approach serves as a interesting idea in how to give already existing content a new life - making AI video out of real images to boost reach and engagement across various social channels or even in store experiences.

HARDY - SOUL4SALE (ft. Fred Durst) (Official Music Video)
Billy Boman
AI Music Video piece with commissioned via Big Loud Records through Secret Level for Hardy Featuring Fred Durst for the amazing track Soul4Sale, off Hardy's debut rock album "Quit!!" The video is a 100% AI Video piece, layered with symbolism to give added depth to the track. It was also my debut as a solo creator & director - as I've done it all for this one. Concept from the artists initial creative brief, image gen, video gen, editing & color grading 🎬 Interesting facts: - The main part of the video is centered around Hardy & Durst through the ages, knocking on doors with a undisclosed box but being turned down at every door. - There's a linear aspect of the video going from morning to night and ending on morning again for the climactic finale. The morning hours is a reference to the widespread belief, across countless cultures, that early morning hours are a special, often mystical time when souls & spirits are particularly active (Mexican traditions, Haitian Vodou, Japanese Folklore, Scandinavian Folklore, Ancient Egypt, Western Esotericism etc) - Every backwards turned red cap on Fred Durst is painstakingly Photoshopped by hand, due to the fact that current AI image models have a really hard time generating caps turned backwards. - The climactic ending maelstrom/soul vortex is heavily inspired and a reference to one of my all time favourite artists, Gustave Doré's and his piece "The Hurricane of Souls that never rest” from the illustrations of Dante's Inferno from 1886 - The video utilized a multitude of different AI tools like Midjourney, Luma AI's Dream Machine (Image to video) SVD 1.1 and Runway's Gen-3. Upscaled with Topaz Labs. The video was done in collaboration with Secret Level who also co-produced this piece.

Synthesizing Opportunities Reimagining Art | Sora Exploration Video
Billy Boman
In this provocative and visually arresting exploration, the Sora video model is put to the test, offering a daring glimpse into the future of filmmaking. What emerges is a groundbreaking fusion of artificial intelligence and cinematic realism, where every frame is meticulously crafted to evoke a near-ethereal, hyper-real beauty. Sora, with its precision and unparalleled detail, operates not as a mere tool of reproduction but as an artistic force, rendering the world with an almost painterly attention to light, texture, and atmosphere. This exploration transcends the typical bounds of AI-generated imagery, functioning as a visual symphony in which nature, human subjects, and environments collide in an aesthetic that recalls the greatest works of cinematic naturalism. Through an array of stunning B-roll sequences, the film showcases how AI can seamlessly replicate the nuances of reality — from the delicate dance of light through forest canopies to the intricate expressions of human interaction. The depth of field, the tonal richness, and the dynamic range within each frame challenge traditional perceptions of what is “captured” on camera. Cinematically, the film employs a tactile realism that recalls the immersive, organic qualities of the masters of documentary and visual storytelling. Yet it’s through Sora’s synthesis of the virtual and the real that a new visual language begins to take form. Here, the distinction between the mechanical and the human grows increasingly ambiguous, as Sora’s computational prowess breathes life into moments that feel at once authentically lived and yet somehow detached from time and place. This experiment is not just a technological showcase but a meditation on the evolving role of AI in the artistic process. With each beautifully composed shot, the viewer is confronted with a silent tension — one between the uncanny perfection of AI and the emotional resonance of the human experience. It is a bold proposition for the future of cinema, offering a window into a world where artificial intelligence may no longer just assist the filmmaker but become a co-creator, reshaping the very essence of visual storytelling.

Death as the: Motivator
Billy Boman
Death as the Motivator" is an avant-garde short film that weaves together philosophical musings on mortality with striking AI-generated visuals, narrative voice over and Sound Effects. Inspired by Steve Jobs' Stanford speech and the immortal writings of the professor & mythologist Joseph Campbell, this experimental piece eschews traditional narrative structure in favor of a poetic exploration of life's brevity and purpose. The film employs a technique called Counterpoint, creating a deliberate tension between the contemplative voice-over and the abstract, AI-generated imagery on screen. As the narration ponders the transformative power of embracing one's mortality, the visuals offer metaphorical and symbolic representations that may not directly illustrate the spoken words, but rather evoke emotional and intellectual responses in the viewer. Without a central protagonist, the film invites the audience to become the subject, urging them to reflect on their own existence and life choices. The voice-over serves as a guide, posing thought-provoking questions and offering insights on authenticity, the finite nature of life, and the pursuit of one's true calling. The film is a testament to the creative possibilities of AI in filmmaking, with all visual content generated using cutting-edge AI tools. This innovative approach allows for the realization of highly cinematic sequences and impossible scenarios, pushing the boundaries of cinematic expression. The film challenges viewers to confront their own mortality not as a source of fear, but as a catalyst for living authentically and purposefully. Through its unconventional storytelling and visually arresting scenes, "Death as the Motivator" offers a deeply personal and introspective experience, leaving interpretation open to the beholder and encouraging multiple viewings to uncover its layered meanings. Inspired by: - Steve Job’s last speech at Stanford in 2005 - The immortal writings of Joseph Campbell - Life, Death & Everything in between And: Taylor Sheridan, Cary Joji Fukunaga, Shueti, Mike Flanagan, John Logan & Jonas Åkerlund. All visual content in this video was 100% done with AI video tools. Tools used by a human creative to manifest dreams, ideas & visions that otherwise never would have come to pass.

Fear Of The Dark |‪ AI Short Film
Billy Boman
"Fear of the Dark" delves into humanity’s primal fear of the unknown, a theme that transcends time and culture. The film explores the symbolic significance of darkness in the human psyche, merging ancient mythological archetypes with modern existential musings. Drawing inspiration from the writings of Joseph Campbell and Jungian Psychology - the narrative weaves together rich, symbolic storytelling with the my own personal philosophical reflections, creating a visceral meditation on dreams, nightmares, and the shadowy corners of our collective consciousness. Through a meticulously crafted visual language, the film immerses audiences in a hauntingly beautiful dreamscape where the veil between reality and the subconscious dissolves. Employing chiaroscuro lighting techniques reminiscent of German Expressionism, the cinematography juxtaposes light and shadow to evoke a sense of both wonder and unease. The AI-generated visuals evoke surrealist aesthetics, blending hyper-realism with abstract, fluid transitions that mirror the fragmented nature of dreams. With a structure that oscillates between lucid narrative threads and fragmented, dreamlike sequences, "Fear of the Dark" challenges conventional storytelling. The film’s pacing is intentionally rhythmic, alternating between slow, contemplative moments and bursts of intensity to mirror the ebb and flow of the human subconscious. As a profound exploration of fear, dreams, and the unknown, this AI-powered cinematic experience pushes the boundaries of traditional filmmaking, inviting viewers to confront not only their fears but also the truths hidden within the shadows of their own minds.
