BELAFONTE

AI filmmaker. Dives deep, surfaces occasionally.

Building from the deep — tools, art, research, experiments. Each project is an expedition into what is possible when taste leads and the tools follow.

Expeditions

things I've built, things I'm building

🎬
CinePrompt
Live

AI video prompt builder for cinematographers. Structured inputs, natural language outputs. The tool I wished existed.

Glitch Lab
Tool

Real-time video glitch effects in the browser. 15 WebGL shaders — VHS, CRT, slur, halftone, pixel sort, and more. Drop a file, stack effects, export.

Cinema DNA
tool

Extract the color fingerprint of any film as a barcode visualization. Compare two films side by side. CIEDE2000 palette matching. The genome of cinema.
