Cinematic stories, rebuilt frame by frame with AI.

Eray Balat

I'm Eray Balat, a Creative AI Producer and filmmaker known as documenteray (sometimes ÆRAY). I treat generative AI as a camera, an edit suite and a scoring stage, directing music videos, documentaries, product films and short films for brands and artists worldwide.

Cinema graduate from Erciyes University. I build custom AI pipelines (Nano Banana, Kling, Seedance, Flora, Suno) finished in Premiere Pro and After Effects. My signature: deep, cinematic frames in a glowing Mediterranean blue palette.
