For the past ten years I was an indie filmmaker based in SoCal. Moved to EU recently and have taken up AI as a fantastic tool for making films while I start developing my network here. I'll probably continue with "actual" filmmaking -- though at this point, it's hard to say what "actual" means anymore. Despite the hassles of crewing, casting, and keeping everyone happy from pre to post, I do love working with people in the kind of creative crucible of making a film together. By way of intro, here's something I'm currently working on -- very much a WIP. I look forward to connecting here and making friends. I've been super impressed with the quality of conversation already!

We saw from Chinese State Media yesterday. Here’s from Higgsfield today: https://www.instagram.com/p/DWHPG1BiF8L/?igsh=MXV1M3V0NHdtN24zYw==

Stop Fighting Your AI Video Tool — Use Structured Controls Instead If you've ever spent 20 minutes rewriting a prompt to get a dolly-in shot, this one's for you. Kling 3.0 dropped this week with an AI Director mode — and it's a different philosophy than what you're used to. Instead of describing camera moves in text and hoping the model interprets it correctly, you specify the shot: • Camera movement: Dolly, pan, tilt, crane (pick from a menu, not a paragraph) • Shot type: CU, MCU, wide, OTS (cinematographer language, not prompt engineering) • Scene transitions: Cut, dissolve, match cut (built-in storyboarding) • Character consistency: Plan a multi-shot sequence, lock the character across clips This isn't better or worse than Sora/Runway/Veo — it's built for a different workflow. If you're pre-visualizing a scene or prototyping a sequence, structured controls are faster. If you're exploring or generating B-roll, natural language prompts are more flexible. The lesson: stop forcing one tool to do everything. Match the tool to the task. Discussion question: Are you a "structured controls" filmmaker or a "natural language" filmmaker — and does your current tool match that?

Three deep dives dropped this week that Founding Members got first: 🔧 Building a Local 4K AI Video Pipeline — Full NVIDIA + ComfyUI technical breakdown. No cloud costs, no waiting in queues. Your GPU, your footage, your workflow. 🎭 Real-Time AI Avatars with Runway Characters — How world models meet interactive media. Step-by-step build from zero to working avatar. 🎬 Daniel Kwan's AI Roadmap from SXSW — The "Everything Everywhere All at Once" director spent 3 years going deep on AI. His framework for filmmakers is the most practical thing I've seen from someone actually making films. We're past the halfway mark to 50 Founding Members. Once we hit 50, the price goes up and the door closes at this rate. So join TODAY! $29/month, locked for life → https://www.skool.com/aiography/classroom

This Video I have created 2 month ago for Client pitch after that client did not reply and yesterday client call me and I got the project. A man sits in silence… waiting. “THE LAST WAIT” is a cinematic AI motion poster that captures the quiet weight of struggle, hunger, and human resilience. Set inside a rustic Indian room, this story unfolds without words — through light, atmosphere, and emotion. Tools : Prompt : Chatgpt Image : Nano Banana Pro Video : Veo3.1
