VISUAL LITERATURE

This page is dedicated to the overwhelming inspiration I experience almost daily with The Elevator, as well as my overall love of storytelling. I channel that inspiration into video creation—a form of expression I’ve loved my whole life. I wrote The Elevator as a novel because I’m wordy by nature, but I see it in my head as a film—already playing, as if I should be able to pull it up on Netflix right now.

 

AI has become an unexpected paintbrush, allowing me to bring these visions to life in ways I never could have imagined when I first began dreaming up this world, its characters, and their story over 20 years ago.

 

What you see below is the result of hours, days, and sometimes weeks of work: custom image design, meticulous cutouts, color grading, scene building, AI prompting to animate characters and environments, motion graphics, and careful sequencing of 5–8 second clips into cohesive, story-driven visuals.

 

My ultimate dream is to see The Elevator saga adapted for film with live actors and cinematic storytellers who share my vision and passion for this world. Until then, I stretch a modest, work-from-home budget to create small glimpses of what I see so clearly in my mind’s eye.

 

Each video holds a piece of my heart, because each one carries the spirit of The Elevator.

Enjoy.
