An AI Film Director who compresses emotion and unease into short-form cinematic worlds that linger in memory

gane.wav is an AI Film Director focused on teaser films, short animations, and music videos.
By condensing story, emotion, and worldbuilding into short-form visuals, gane.wav designs cinematic structures that stay with the viewer.

Working through a dark cinematic language shaped by the boundary between reality and unreality, unstable memories, subtle unease, and narrative ambiguity, gane.wav handles the full production process from concept structure and worldbuilding to AI image generation, AI video generation, and editing. Their work explores emotionally dense visual expression, including film trailer-like teasers, game- and anime-inspired worldbuilding videos, music videos, and short animations for social media.

One of their representative works, THE WEIGHT OF CHOICE, is a 30-second montage depicting the absurdity of humans being integrated into the core of a weapon system. Through fragmented cuts of an activation key, command room, battlefield, and civilians, the film connects the process by which an individual is transformed into a “device,” presenting the unconscious cost of choice.

From planning and visual direction to generation and editing, gane.wav creates dark, horror-driven, and story-focused visual works, continuing to explore cinematic teaser expression in the age of AI.

A Texture LoRA Lab transferring the tactile qualities of Japanese traditional materials into AI expression

TextureLoRALab is a Texture LoRA research project focused on transferring the material qualities of Japanese traditional materials into AI expression.
Through the creation and study of LoRA models, TextureLoRALab explores how the physical materiality, sheen, grain, surface texture, and dimensional qualities of materials such as gold leaf, mother-of-pearl, mineral pigments, washi paper, and lacquer can be reflected in AI-generated art.

With a background spanning Japanese painting, art studies, and museum studies at a UK graduate school, TextureLoRALab works with tools such as Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, kohya_ss, and Python to build LoRA training and generation environments. Rather than simply reproducing visual style, the project pursues an approach that teaches AI the tactile qualities and material textures of the original substances themselves.

One of its core initiatives is the Texture LoRA “SHIFUKU Series,” which aims to bring material expressions derived from real traditional materials into AI generation, including the fine wrinkles of gold leaf, the granular surface of mineral pigments, and the deep gloss of lacquer. While general style LoRAs tend to learn the appearance or visual style of a work, TextureLoRALab is distinctive in its focus on the physical qualities of materials themselves.

TextureLoRALab also expands the practical possibilities of AI-based material expression through a production structure designed for commercial delivery and internal implementation, as well as texture packs, a note membership called “Urazaishiki,” and public LoRA releases on CivitAI.

By connecting Japanese traditional materials with AI technology, TextureLoRALab deeply explores the field of “texture” in AI art, combining research depth with practical creative application.

Main Activities

• LoRA research focused on transferring the textures of Japanese traditional materials into AI
• Creation and release of the Texture LoRA “SHIFUKU Series”
• LoRA distribution and research publication on CivitAI
• Operation of the note membership “Urazaishiki”
• Creation and distribution of texture packs
• Development of generative AI production environments using Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, kohya_ss, and Python
• Research and development of AI-based material expression for commercial delivery and internal production workflows
