TonyLee-Taylor

Sound, camera and AV tech. Film student. Air Force trained.

I've run live sound, cameras and livestreams since 2015, and the Air Force taught me to find a fault and fix it by the book. I'm looking for crew work in LA: set, sound, post or show tech.

Distracted Driver

A whole day of LA driving, cut from found POV footage into one wandering drive from dawn to night. Red strobe cuts mark the moments the mind leaves the road.

Each column is one frame's average color, sampled 8 times a second from the finished film. Nearly half the red flashes land between 1:30 and 1:40, the most overwhelmed stretch of the drive.
  1. Static. The film opens on TV static, the driver still asleep.
  2. First strobe. The first red flash pulls the mind off the road.
  3. Candle. One candle on black after a low-res crowd. Calm after overload.
  4. Sunset. The beach at sunset, a peace the driver can only daydream about.
  5. Night. Downtown after dark.
  6. Strobe burst. A full second of red. The mind is most overwhelmed here.
  7. Black. City lights dissolve to nothing. The day is over.

Personal AI system · 2026 · Creator

Koda

My own AI assistant. Koda sends each request to the model that fits it, like Claude, Codex or Gemini, or has two models read each other's answers.

I designed how it looks and moves: monochrome particles that form, hold and scatter. I direct the build with AI coding tools, and it runs on my iPhone.
