Lou Yio Adams

I am a Taiwanese-American pop and dance music singer, and visual artist who likes to experiment with animations and cinematic filming. Switching effortlessly between English and Mandarin, I am hoping to fuse electronic grooves with the centuries-old art of Chinese calligraphy, creating performances where ancient brush-strokes morph into neon futures. Each track is an invitation to connect and imagine a world where cultures dance together.

I am also a long-time software engineer that has worked in the corporate world for two decades — now actively exploring agentic AI workflows and AI-assisted coding. My video projects employ AI-generated images and videos which have made storytelling so much quicker and easier (see examples below).

Below the Wave Function | Animation Video

In this short clip, the two quantum physicists Lou and Hank were debating spirituality with the high priest Miran, after entering the underground city of Aravyn. What is our reality? Is it matter, or just the perception of matter?

This 30-second clip was directed and generated by Runway Agent. I started out by uploading the reference images of the three characters and the scene, along with a brief outline of the story. Runway Agent wrote the detailed beats of the script, and generated two versions of videos from it. Then I edited them in DaVinci Resolve and combined the best moments into the final production. It took about 4 hours to complete. (English and Mandarin subtitles are available.)

The Horizons Reset | Animation Video Trailer

This is a short story about two quantum physicists accidentally discovering an ancient underground civilization called Aravyn, where they met the high priest Miran, who told them the world's energy was in grave danger. There will be more short stories in this series.

This is my first experiment with animation using Runway AI. I first created static images of the characters by GPT-Image-2, edited them in graphic software, fed them into Seedance 2.0 video model for animation, and edited them in DaVinci Resolve. It took about 80 work hours to complete, including editing and remixing the background orchestra music.

Rihanna — Diamonds (Cover by Me) | Music Video

This is my very first experiment with green screen filming and AI video generation. The foreground character (which was me singing) was real footage captured on a Sony camera with green screens behind me. It was then composed on top of background desert scenes generated through Runway's Gen-4.5 video model.

It was also my first time using DaVinci Resolve as the video editor — a long journey of learning and editing that spanned across 4 months. The result was very amateurish, as you can tell, but I was glad when it was done. At one point, I was royally stuck and almost abandoned the project.
