Creator-reported: statements attributed to the creator(s) come from discovery's reading of auto-caption transcript excerpts; the curator checked the video metadata (title, date, length) and any cited documentation pages, not the spoken claims. Nothing was tested; promotional or sponsored framing applies where stated. Dreamina video (promotional, 2026-07-14): lock a style frame before animating because it drives all later animations; generate it with GPT Image 2 from a reference photo of the creator; write prompts "like a cinematographer" - camera angle, lighting, atmosphere, lens, colour grade, mood, environment, subject detail; use multiple reference images and prompt tweaks to converge on a style; then animate in Seedance 2.0 with omni-reference (image, video, audio). Lamborghini concept film (2026-08-14): a self-initiated, no-brief commercial for a real car brand mixing traditional VFX and AI; the transcript is mostly the voiceover and music (no technical breakdown audible).

Dreamina video (promotional, 2026-07-14): lock a style frame before animating because it drives all later animations; generate it with GPT Image 2 from a reference photo of the creator; write prompts "like a cinematographer" - camera angle, lighting, atmosphere, lens, colour grade, mood, environment, subject detail; use multiple reference images and prompt tweaks to converge on a style; then animate in Seedance 2.0 with omni-reference (image, video, audio). Lamborghini concept film (2026-08-14): a self-initiated, no-brief commercial for a real car brand mixing traditional VFX and AI; the transcript is mostly the voiceover and music (no technical breakdown audible). Rights note: an unofficial spec ad for a real trademark is a common portfolio format, but publishing it carries trademark/endorsement risk; the description frames it as an entirely concept film. Not legal advice.

Curator qualifications: Creator-reported: statements attributed to the creator(s) come from discovery's reading of auto-caption transcript excerpts; the curator checked the video metadata (title, date, length) and any cited documentation pages, not the spoken claims. Nothing was tested; promotional or sponsored framing applies where stated. All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; video metadata checked where cited. Creator video (auto-caption transcript excerpts read by discovery; promotional/affiliate); not curator-verified beyond video metadata.

Limitations: Workflow-level only; the Lamborghini transcript has little process content; visual inspection needed for its VFX/AI split.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
