TIAGO BASTOS_ BOOK THE SESSION ↓
Tiago Bastos as a king on an all-black throne, crown tilted, cigar smoke, fur coat and THE RHINO championship belt, rhino trophies and candles behind him

Long live the idea. The machine tapped out. Now it works for me.

DEFEATED, THEN HIRED · ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEThe Engine

I beat the machine. Then I put it on payroll. It does the decks, slides, resizes and versions, all night. I keep the only job that matters. The idea.

[ 01 · THE WORKFLOW ]

Same brief. Two clocks.

Watch where the time goes when the engine works for the crown. One stage never speeds up. On purpose.

28 daysTHE INDUSTRY STANDARD. COFFEE NOT INCLUDED.

* MY ESTIMATES ON A TYPICAL BRIEF. REAL TIMINGS VARY BY MARKET AND BY HOW BRAVE THE CLIENT IS.

[ 02 · THE ARSENAL ]

The crown jewels.

Tools are cheap. Knowing which one to throw is the skill.

THINKING PARTNER

Claude

Strategy drafts, decks, code. This whole website was built with it. Directed by me, obviously.

LOOK & FEEL

Midjourney

Key visuals in hours, not weeks. A whole world on the table before anyone books a studio.

DIGITAL TALENT

Magnific

Consistent faces, upscales, finishing. No casting call, no reshoot.

MOTION

Kling + Higgsfield

Storyboards that move. Animatics, product films, the rhino that follows your cursor on my site.

MADE BY ME

Bots & frameworks

Custom workflows built for each client, unique to how they work. The client never sees the tools. They see the work arrive early.

MADE BY ME

Ask Tiago

An AI twin trained on my voice, beliefs and bad jokes. It takes round one of the questions so I don't have to.

[ 03 · MADE IN THE MACHINE ROOM ]

Rendered by the engine. Directed by me.

Hit play. Sound on.

What used to take weeks.
Now done in a few hours.

There was a moment the room went completely silent. Not because it was boring.

Brief in hand. Zero pre-production. Finished creative in under an hour, live at Campaign Middle East. Not a demo.

[ THE SESSION ]

The Machine Room, live.

One session, shaped to your room. A keynote, a live build or a hands-on workshop for your team.

BOOK THE SESSION ↗
  1. 01Brief to film, live.

    The room hands me a brief. A finished film hits the screen before we wrap.

  2. 02More with less.

    How a crew of nine takes on networks ten times its size.

  3. 03The idea still wins.

    Why taste and bravery get more valuable as the engine gets cheaper.

  4. 04The next generation.

    What juniors should learn now the boring work is gone.
