Most of us cinematic directors are naturally drawn to 16:9 because... It just gives FILM, right? But lately, I’ve been testing, exploring and adjusting my storytelling ads specifically for 9:16, and it definitely changes the way I think about my images, framing, camera movement and how I build the story. And I’m a student right now too. 👩🏾‍💻 So I’ve been learning and experimenting more with video extension features, testing what works, what doesn’t and where these models will have you wasting credits for absolutely no reason. 🙄 Once I’ve worked through it and have my tips, tricks and workflow together, I’ll be dropping a module inside the classroom (STORYTELLING ADS) so y’all can try your hand at it without having to do all the expensive experimenting first. For now... I’m dropping my latest “Someone’s Home” storytelling ad below. I’ve been having FUN exploring these Storytelling ads. Quick tip - If your not using capcut. I highly recommend learning a few editing tips! ;) That module is inside the classroom.

I wanna see where everybody is on their AI video journey right now. 👀 How long have you been creating AI videos? ✨ Brand new... I’m just getting started ✨ Less than 6 months ✨ 6 months to 1 year ✨ Over 1 year... I’ve been outside 😂 I started when AI video basically gave us MOTION. That was it. 😂 Then we graduated to a whole THREE SECONDS max and thought we were doing something! So seeing what we can create NOW is still crazy to me. Drop yours in the comments! 👇🏽 I wanna see who we have in the room because we’ve got creators at ALL different levels inside The Digi Collective. 🎬🔥

I can’t WAIT to put y’all on!! Scroll to the right to watch the 2nd video. 👉 I’ve been behind the scenes testing different styles of realism, camera movement, natural dialogue, character consistency, voice, pacing, voice cloning, all of it. And one thing I’m learning....Realism isn’t just about how REAL the image looks. It’s how real the moment FEELS and connects to your audience. The 2nd video is both Tabora and I voices cloned And real conversations. 🤭 And a real image of his art! 🤯 The pauses. The reactions. The little facial expressions. The way the camera moves. Even knowing when to let a scene breathe. I’m still testing, pushing and taking notes because when I figure out what works... I’m bringing it right back in here to my Directors. 🎬🔥

"Another One " ( in the voice of DJ Khaled)

I was diagnosed with a life threatening illness and got some really good news today. It’s not the absolute worst case scenario. No it’s not good, but I have a fighting chance. At first I thought of all the things I wanted to accomplish and hadn’t done so yet and all the things I still wanted to do that I may never get the chance. Then finally I made peace with the fact that I had still lived a good life and I’m not mad at the experiences I’ve had… then I was told it’s only stage 3. Before the news today, all I could think of was my digital marketing that hasn’t gotten off the ground yet to make enough money to leave behind for the kids. And my ai production projects that never got to exist. Now, I’m not wasting another minute. I’m back. I’m locked in. I’m going full throttle now. Don’t be surprised by what you see moving forward!
