Who is Albert Bozesan?
Albert Bozesan is a Munich writer, filmmaker, voice actor and AI educator who co-created TARMAC, an AI-animated adult workplace sitcom, with his writing partner Robert Sladeczek, and voices its Colonel[4][6]. He built a following teaching AI art on YouTube, where his Stable Diffusion game-asset and ControlNet tutorials have about 306,000 and 215,000 views[13][14]. With Robert he also co-wrote the Audible Original Schund und Schmutz (2022) and the audio sitcom Jour Fixe (2020)[10][12].

03Biography
The Albert Bozesan story
A classmate and a lightsaber video
Albert Bozesan and Robert Sladeczek were in the same class at middle school in Munich, and, as they told AI LIVE, did not care much for each other[1]. Then Albert saw a lightsaber video Robert had made and posted on Facebook. Robert had taught himself Final Cut Express from YouTube tutorials and keyframed the effects by hand; Albert decided he could do that too[1].
I saw his lightsaber video on Facebook and I was just like, I can do that.
Albert Bozesan[1]
Accounts of his early life differ. The bio for his Audible series says he is from California and has lived in Munich since 2009[10]. German Wikipedia gives 1997 as his year of birth, describes him as German-American and gives a different account of where he was born[7]. It also records that while at school in 2013 he started a YouTube channel, FotoSchnitzel, with a school friend[7].
From 2015 he and Robert worked together regularly in a creative collective called Kalonoma[7]. German Wikipedia lists their early prizes: first place in the 16 to 20 category of the Deutscher Multimediapreis mb21 in 2016 for Apayou - Experience the Future, a satire of startup self-promotion in which Albert played the lead, and a category win at flimmern & rauschen in 2018 for the short Jack & Cooper - Identity Theft, which was also an official selection at the Berlin Independent Film Festival[7][9].
Comedy, audio and the voice booth
By 2020 the two ran an open-mic night, Catchphrase Comedy, at the Gasteig in Munich, and the production company Peak State Entertainment[12]. That July ProSiebenSat.1's FYEO app launched JOUR FIXE - Die Startupper, an audio sitcom about a trend-chasing German startup that they created and wrote with Tommy Krappweis: twelve episodes of about 25 minutes, with Albert voicing Adrian alongside Marti Fischer, Anna Jung, Hugo Egon Balder and Bernhard Hoecker[12][7].
On 2 December 2022 came Schund und Schmutz, a fully voiced Audible Original set in 1920s Munich around the 1926 law against "trash and filth" and the artists of the Simplicissimus cabaret[10][7]. Albert co-wrote it with Robert and Katharina Lang, co-directed it with Meike Wendt and Robert, and voices Thomas; bumm Film produced it[10]. By 31 December 2022 it was the number one Historical Crime title and number two overall on Audible, and it held 4.5 stars from 827 ratings in July 2026[10].
Audio taught them speed: without pictures a joke has to land on timing alone, and a whole season gets recorded in a couple of days[1]. Alongside the writing he works as a voice actor and narrator: a newscaster in the Audible Original Kohlrabenschwarz, the reporter Albert Ross in Das Pummeleinhorn, and the English narrator of audio guides for the NASA Kennedy Space Center and two UNESCO World Heritage sites[9].
Teaching AI on YouTube
Soon after Stable Diffusion's release in 2022 he started teaching AI art on YouTube[8]. How to Make Game Asset Art with AI, published on 4 September 2022, is still his most watched video at about 306,000 views, and How to use ControlNet in your AI Art from March 2023 has about 215,000[13][14]. The tutorials paired AI with the tools he already knew: Blender for 3D assets and seamless textures, Photoshop for maps, Inkscape for vector art[3][32].
His channel now has about 24,700 subscribers and 38 long-form videos, with roughly 1.45 million views between them[3]. He has kept the habit of combining old skills with new ones, and said so on AI LIVE.
There's a treasure trove of stuff that people coming from AI should still be learning. Blender, absolutely still a valuable skill set.
Albert Bozesan[1]
Storybook Studios
From 2023 he worked at Storybook Studios, the Munich AI film studio linked to Pantaleon Films[7]. His title differs by source: German Wikipedia says Creative Director, his website says Head of Creative Technology, and the Dear Future podcast introduced him as an AI workflow architect[7][8][22]. There he worked on SPACE VETS, an AI-generated animated series for children announced by Storybook's parent Pantaflix in August 2024, and on DAISY, a hybrid live-action horror short directed by Peter Thorwarth and Sebastian Ungrad[29][8].
On AI LIVE in August 2026 he described the job in the past tense: he had been head of creative tech at Storybook "until very recently"[1]. His website still listed the role at the time of writing[8].
Talks, essays and a TEDx stage
He has argued in public for how AI should serve film teams. In December 2024 he published an open letter to Runway, Pika, MiniMax, Luma and Kling about what professionals need around generation: structure, collaboration, batch naming and aspect ratios[16]. At TEDxTUM on 16 November 2024 he spoke about storytelling in the age of AI; TEDx published the talk in April 2025 as The Surprising Way AI Makes Us More Human[8][15].
In April 2025 he sat on SMPTE's "AI from the Trenches" panel at NAB Show in Las Vegas, which Variety covered[11][26]. He has taught a full-day workshop at HFF Munich, lectured at TU Munich and Chapman University's Dodge College, and co-taught a two-day ComfyUI intensive with Robert at the National Film School of Denmark[8][11]. He also teaches the AI Animation course at Curious Refuge[27].
Pirates on a Bavarian lake
In August 2025 he posted a one-minute breakdown of a shoot by four friends at a Bavarian lake: real actors in pirate costume, with the ship, the sea and props added by AI, using 3D-based inpainted backgrounds, tracked 2D backgrounds and image-to-video assets[17]. His site says it reached millions after Evolving.AI shared it[19]. The finished sketch, The Captain's Cook, followed in September, with Albert as AI VFX lead and the blond pirate, Robert as the captain and editor, Tobias M. Huber on AI VFX and Joshua Burkert as director of photography[18].
This took every ounce of my 15+ years of movie computering. But when you sprinkle AI on top of that, it really shines!
Albert Bozesan[17]
In November 2025 he made The Infinite Hourglass, a trailer for a world split into regions that each imitate an ideal past, in two nights with Nano Banana Pro, Kling 2.5 and Lipsync 2.0 Pro on Freepik, planned in his own shot manager, Shotbuddy[20]. In February 2026 he and Robert released His Move, a mock 1950s sports broadcast of a chess championship, under the name 2Bert[21].
TARMAC
TARMAC, the Time Anomaly Research and Matter Acceleration Center, is a secret facility 22 floors under Ramstein Air Base that has been sending America's nuclear waste one week into the future since Jimmy Carter, so its staff can never be fired[4][6]. The idea sat in a drawer after a late-night writing weekend, because it needed expensive sets or animation; AI tools and their friend, the illustrator Ariane Emmerich, finally made it possible[1].
People write, design, voice and edit it, and AI does the tedium[4][1]. Every shot starts as a set Albert blocks out in Blender, which Magnific styles and Seedance 2.0 animates; characters are posed separately on grey and composited in, and every asset is logged for copyright[1][5]. He showed the first 90 seconds at GenAI Wednesday in Munich on 17 June 2026, and the pilot came out two days later, with Albert as co-creator, co-writer, co-director and the voice of Colonel Dean Hunnicutt-Price[23][4].
TARMAC is a moonshot to use AI the way creatives should: for the tedium, not the art.
TARMAC pilot description[4]
Season one is outlined as fifteen ten-minute episodes, produced by Peak State Entertainment, which owns the IP outright; episode two was planned for autumn 2026, and the pair are looking for a distribution partner[6][1].
On AI LIVE, and what comes next
On 19 August 2026 Albert and Robert were the first pair of guests on AI LIVE's Creator Sessions. They screened the pilot, played their behind-the-scenes film and opened their production deck in public for the first time[1][2]. Ten days later he was on a panel about the German AI scene at Warsaw Glitch[24], and on 18 November 2026 he and Robert are due to give the keynote "Pitching is the New Product" at KI Navigator in Nuremberg[25].
To anyone out there who wants to make their stuff copyrightable, step one is documenting every single asset.

06How he builds it
Inside TARMAC, shot by shot
Every shot of TARMAC starts as grey boxes in Albert's Blender scene[1][5]. Scroll through the set build, the paper trail behind it, Ariane Emmerich's cast, the gags it was all built for, and the pirate sketch that came first. Then the road from tutorials to TARMAC.
The pitch
Nuclear waste, one week at a time, in five lines
What you need before the pilot. Scroll, and each line lights up.
-
01The base
Americans have run bases in Germany for decades, and nobody will tell Albert and Robert what goes on at Ramstein[1].
-
02The 1970s
So in TARMAC the base worked out time travel, and Jimmy Carter used the machine to send nuclear waste one week into the future, forever[1][4].
-
03The catch
The staff, 22 floors underground, can never be fired, or fifty years of waste lands at once[4][1].
-
04The new guy
Into this walks Paul, a new recruit who is secretly a president's son[4].
-
05The rule
The waste problem is always a Friday. The rest of the week is up to them[1].

Set build
Grey boxes in Blender, then a 1970s office
Blocked out byAlbert Bozesan, in Blender
"We're blocking out the full environment using very rough objects, so that the AI later knows where furniture is, where walls are, where the characters are standing," Albert says in the behind-the-scenes film[5][1]. The grey render is styled in Magnific, split into foreground, midground and background, and put back into Blender, so the room can be shot from any angle without generating it again[1].
Made fromrough boxes, sitcom cameras, a detailed Magnific prompt, three layers[1]
Drag the line
The same desk, before and after Magnific
Left of the line, Albert's grey Blender render. Right of it, the styled set that every Colonel scene is shot in[5][1].
Both frames come from the behind-the-scenes film[5]. The grey frame is cropped from a wider shot of the same Blender camera so the two line up; small differences remain.
The pipeline
Humans for the art, AI for the tedium
How a TARMAC shot gets made, from the Creator Session and the behind-the-scenes film[1][5].
- 01 Write it, record it in a day The comedy is written in the room. Then one recording day: one actor in the booth, the others reading back over headphones, so every line is a reaction[1]. Writers' room
- 02 Design for the models Ariane Emmerich drew the cast in a rough pencil style chosen because Nano Banana Pro handles it and Seedance 2 animates it well[1]. Ariane Emmerich
- 03 Block out in Blender Rough boxes, sitcom cameras and a vibe-coded tool that pre-renders layered grey compositions[1]. Blender
- 04 Style and split Magnific styles the grey render; each approved angle becomes foreground, midground and background, back in Blender. Easter eggs go in by hand in Photoshop[1]. Magnific, Photoshop
- 05 Pose on grey, composite Characters are posed separately on grey and lit between the layers in Blender, building a reusable pose library[1]. Nano Banana Pro, Blender
- 06 Animate and log Each still is animated in Seedance 2.0 at 720p, and every download is logged: prompt, model, time, person, input[1]. Seedance 2.0, own plugin
Kling stepped in when Seedance refused a shot, and if a word had to change to pass a filter, the original recording went back in[1].
The paper trail
A plugin, a pose library and a clean file system
To make TARMAC copyrightable and sellable, every asset is documented. Albert built the tool that does it, largely with Claude Code[1][5]. The timecode opens the behind-the-scenes film where the plugin appears.
The Magnific downloader
Built by Albert, with Claude Code
Drags Blender renders into Magnific, glues prompts together and saves the prompt, model, time and input with every download[1].
Prompts, glued together
Runs in Magnific
Grey Blender renders go in with very detailed prompts; the plugin assembles them so each set stays consistent[1].
Paul, posed on grey
Made with Nano Banana Pro, Magnific
Characters are generated apart from the set, which on AI LIVE they said gives better quality and saves credits, and the poses are reused[1].
Back into Blender
Lit in Blender
The Colonel, placed between the set's layers and relit in Blender without AI[1].
The cast
TARMAC's cast, in Ariane Emmerich's pencil style
Original character designs by the illustrator Ariane Emmerich: rough, pencilly outlines, chosen because Nano Banana Pro poses them well and Seedance 2 animates them well, where clean lines broke[1][4]. Tap a card to turn it over.

Who did what
TARMAC: the human parts and the AI parts
As they laid it out on AI LIVE: humans wrote it, designed the characters, voiced it and edited it; AI posed the characters, rendered the environments and animated the shots[1].
Under the EU's AI labels they would call TARMAC AI modified, while accepting that the final animated pixel could be called generated[2].

On making it
Put in as much human touch as you can
Basically the recipe is you just try to put as much human touch in it as you possibly can, and that's what we did.
Honestly, it's probably embarrassing to admit how little we spent on this episode.
Is the task of drawing all those individual poses, the stuff we think we want to do with AI, is that a task you want us to take away from you?
When I work with Robert, it's completely different every time.

12Questions
Questions about Albert
Who is Albert Bozesan?
Albert Bozesan is a Munich writer, filmmaker, voice actor and AI educator. With his writing partner Robert Sladeczek he co-created the AI-animated sitcom TARMAC, in which he voices the Colonel, as well as the Audible Original Schund und Schmutz and the audio sitcom Jour Fixe[4][10][12]. He also runs a YouTube channel of AI art and filmmaking tutorials with about 24,700 subscribers[3].
What is TARMAC?
TARMAC, the Time Anomaly Research and Matter Acceleration Center, is an adult animated workplace sitcom by Albert Bozesan and Robert Sladeczek. A secret facility under Ramstein Air Base has sent America's nuclear waste one week into the future since Jimmy Carter, so its staff can never be fired. The pilot came out on 19 June 2026, and season one is outlined as fifteen ten-minute episodes[4][6].
Who voices the Colonel in TARMAC?
Albert Bozesan voices Colonel Dean Hunnicutt-Price. Robert Sladeczek voices Special Agent Norbert Rowbird, Chris Auber voices Paul and Dad, Martina Peroni voices Dr Sara Hoppeneimer and Nina, and David Valkysers plays the Airman[4].
How is TARMAC made with AI?
Every shot starts as a set blocked out in Blender with sitcom-style cameras. The grey render is styled in Magnific, split into foreground, midground and background layers and put back into Blender; characters are posed separately on grey with Nano Banana Pro and composited in; and the still is animated in Seedance 2.0 at 720p. The writing, voices, character design and edit are done by people[1][5].
Who designed the TARMAC characters?
The illustrator Ariane Emmerich, a friend of the pair, designed the cast. Her rough, pencilly style was chosen because Nano Banana Pro poses it well and Seedance 2 animates it well[1][4].
Why does Albert Bozesan log every AI asset?
To make TARMAC copyrightable and sellable. Every download is recorded with its prompt, model, time, person and input, captured automatically from Magnific by a browser plugin he built largely with Claude Code. On AI LIVE he said documenting every single asset is step one[1].
Who is Robert Sladeczek?
Robert Sladeczek is Albert's writing and directing partner since they were classmates in Munich. He co-created TARMAC and voices Agent Norbert Rowbird, and on his own YouTube channel he teaches a ComfyUI background-replacement workflow. He has his own profile on AI LIVE[1][4][34].
Where is Albert Bozesan from?
He is based in Munich. The bio for his Audible series Schund und Schmutz says he is from California and has lived in Munich since 2009[10]. German Wikipedia gives a different account of where he was born, so this page does not state a birthplace[7].
Does Albert Bozesan still work at Storybook Studios?
He worked at the Munich AI film studio Storybook Studios from 2023, where German Wikipedia gives his title as Creative Director and his website as Head of Creative Technology[7][8]. On AI LIVE in August 2026 he said he had held the job until very recently, meaning he had left[1].
What are Albert Bozesan's most popular YouTube videos?
His Stable Diffusion tutorials: How to Make Game Asset Art with AI (about 306,000 views), How to use ControlNet in your AI Art (about 215,000), and his automatic1111 install guide and concept art tutorial (about 119,000 and 116,000)[13][14][3].
Where does Albert Bozesan teach AI animation?
He teaches the AI Animation course at the online film school Curious Refuge[27]. He has also taught workshops and lectures at HFF Munich, TU Munich, Chapman University and the National Film School of Denmark[8][11].
What was Albert Bozesan's TEDx talk about?
At TEDxTUM on 16 November 2024 he spoke about storytelling in the age of AI and our capacity to empathise with inanimate objects. TEDx published it in April 2025 as The Surprising Way AI Makes Us More Human[8][15].
What is The Captain's Cook?
A two-minute pirate sketch from September 2025, shot with real actors at a Bavarian lake and finished with an AI-generated ship, sea and props. Albert led the AI VFX and plays the blond pirate; Robert Sladeczek plays the captain and edited it[18][17].
