The studio
Homo Lapis. Lapis, in Italian, is a pencil.
The oldest design tool and the newest one, in the same place. It's not a pun we came up later, it's actually the way we work.
Who we are
A creative AI studio in Gorizia that combines motion design with generative artificial intelligence.
We help designers, broadcasters, museums and brands produce original images and video with AI, with full control over style, consistency and rights. We use generative AI in real production and we build the systems we use, including: JustAE, a commercial jingle generator, and custom model training pipelines.
For traditional motion design work the studio operates as Homo Lapis at homolapis.com. This site is the AI arm.
How we work
Four positions we don't negotiate
The model serves the style
01
A generative model that produces a generic look is a model that has not been trained. We fine-tune on the client’s own material, and we keep it local.
Rights stay where they belong
02
Original music, commercial licence included, models trained on material you own. Where the rights sit is written into the estimate, not left to be inferred.
AI carries the repetition
s03
It doesn't carry the intent. For example, a storyboard comes to life through intention, not by chance. Automation always follows human planning and decisions.
Tools where the work happens
04
Inside After Effects, Photoshop, ComfyUI... to name a few. A creative tool that requires leaving the editor is a tool that gets used twice.
AI courses
Taught by people who use it in production
Hands-on training in generative AI for designers, editors and communication teams. Not a survey of what exists: the workflows we actually run, on the software you actually have.
