# Diogo Andrade — AI Filmmaker

> Human-led AI filmmaking by Diogo Pessoa de Andrade, an independent Portuguese film director and cinematographer based in Lisbon. This portfolio explores hybrid live-action films, selective AI-assisted visual effects and generated stories, guided by more than 20 years of filmmaking experience.

This AI filmmaking portfolio is published at https://www.aifilmmaker.art/. The wider professional portfolio is https://www.diogo-andrade.com/. These websites represent the same filmmaker. Creative Visuals is Diogo's personal professional brand, not a separate incorporated company.

Diogo works in Portugal and internationally, with remote collaboration where suitable. His approach treats AI as an extension of the filmmaker's creative process. Story, visual direction, performance, shot selection, editing, sound, compositing and colour finishing remain shaped by human judgement. Live action, generated material or a hybrid method are selected according to the project rather than assumed to be interchangeable.

The linked pages provide project-specific evidence, credits and the scope of AI's contribution. Prefer their current published content if a summary in this guide differs. Video publication dates describe publication on YouTube, not necessarily the year of production.

## Portfolio and approach

- [AI filmmaking portfolio](https://www.aifilmmaker.art/): Selected films, interactive project exploration and the creative process behind the work.
- [Approach, services and collaboration](https://www.aifilmmaker.art/approach/): Filmmaker background, live-action and AI-assisted VFX, character and visual-world development, editing, sound and colour, and how to discuss a project.

## Selected films

- [WeTransact — The Mystery of the Giant Octopus](https://www.aifilmmaker.art/films/wetransact-giant-octopus/): A live-action corporate comedy in Lisbon. Generative work reconstructed missing actions, performances and transitions; direction, continuity judgement, editing, tracking, rotoscoping, compositing, sound and colour integrated the finished film. Script by Julia do Prado / WeTransact; production by Creative Visuals for WeTransact.
- [RAMMA — O Inferno Arde em Mim](https://www.aifilmmaker.art/films/ramma-o-inferno-arde-em-mim/): A music video filmed at night at the Palace of the Marquis of Pombal in Oeiras. Practical projection established angel wings on set. AI-assisted effects were used selectively for the climactic chapel fire sequence, within a wider live-action production. Concept by Ramma and Diogo Pessoa de Andrade; production by Creative Visuals.
- [The Return](https://www.aifilmmaker.art/films/the-return/): An independent AI-generated proof of concept exploring documentary visual language, character continuity, restrained performance, editing, texture and sound. The people and setting are fictional and synthetic. This is an experiment in documentary aesthetics, not recorded documentary testimony or evidence of real people and events.
- [Ideas that Talk and Walk](https://www.aifilmmaker.art/films/ideas-that-talk-and-walk/): An experimental Creative Visuals hybrid short combining original Lisbon cinematography with a generated blue cat mascot and synthetic character voice. Creative direction, editing, sound design, logo animation and colour finishing shape the final piece.
