ABOUT
No Soy Real” introduces CATIR3, my independent music and audiovisual project. CATIR3 is an artist persona I created to explore identity, reality and the increasingly blurred line between human and synthetic culture. I write the lyrics, create the music and beats, record and perform the vocals, and develop the creative direction of the project. The music and performance are real, not AI-generated. For the visual world, I combine filmmaking, editing, VFX and generative AI to create imagery that moves between the physical and the artificial. “No Soy Real” establishes that concept through CATIR3’s central statement: “No soy real. Soy Catire.” The project brings together my work as a musician, filmmaker and creative technologist within one universe.

PROCESS
The project started with sketches and rough ideas for CATIR3’s world, defining the character, mood, environments and visual language before generating anything. I collected image references from photography, fashion, cinema and music videos to establish how the character should look and how the different scenarios should feel. From those references, I built a consistent CATIR3 character model in Higgsfield Soul. Once the identity was established, I used Midjourney to develop the environments, compositions and individual scenarios, iterating through many images until the character, styling, lighting and atmosphere felt like they belonged to the same universe. The selected images then became the foundation for the video shots. Each scene was developed around the music rather than simply animating random generated images, with attention to framing, performance, camera movement and continuity between locations. From there, the strongest generations were selected, animated, edited and refined into the final music video. Shots that broke the character identity, changed wardrobe, felt visually inconsistent or looked obviously synthetic were discarded or rebuilt. The final stage was editorial, compositing, colour and finishing, bringing all of the independently generated material into one coherent film. The completed video was then mastered and released officially through CATIR3 VEVO. What began as sketches and reference images ultimately became a finished audiovisual world, taking the process from concept → references → character model → scenario generation → motion → edit → final master → VEVO release.
