Before you jump in, there’s one important thing to understand about this community. AIography exists to explore how AI is reshaping filmmaking, storytelling, and creative workflows from script to screen. This is a place for learning, sharing experiments, asking smart questions, and helping each other navigate a rapidly changing creative landscape. To help keep the signal high and reduce spam, posting is unlocked once you reach Level 2. You’ll get there quickly by engaging in discussions, reacting to posts, and participating thoughtfully. What this community is NOT: - A place to pitch “make money” schemes - A place to drop affiliate links, funnels, or cold offers - A place to self-promote unrelated products or services If your first instinct after joining is to sell something, this is not the right room for you. What is encouraged: - Thoughtful discussion around AI tools and workflows - Sharing work in context (what you tried, what worked, what didn’t) - Helping others learn and think more clearly about AI and creativity - Genuine collaboration and curiosity Promotion may be allowed later and in the right context, but it is never the starting point here. Posts or comments that ignore this will be removed. Repeated behavior will result in removal from the community — no drama, no warnings loop. We’re here to build understanding and craft, not noise. If that sounds like your mindset, you’re in exactly the right place. If not, it’s better to know that now. — Larry

Hey everyone! 🎬 The new issue of the AIography newsletter just dropped and it's a big one. THE LEAD: Disney invested $1 billion in OpenAI and licensed 200+ characters for Sora. The mouse is officially in the AI game. This is INCREDIBLY HUGE news for every type of creator. I do my best to break down what it means for all of us making stuff in this space. THREE TUTORIALS THIS WEEK: 1. Jay E from RoboNuggets n8n workflow that pumps out broadcast-quality ads for under $3 (full breakdown of the cost structure—this one's a game changer) 2. Tao Prompts 7 AI video prompt styles that actually work: Timestamp prompting, anchor prompts, cut-scene prompting, and more 3. TechHalla's grid prompting technique for multi-character consistency (actually posted this one here for you guys already!) ALSO: Runway dropped 5 world model announcements. They're not just making video anymore—they're building reality simulators. I explain why this matters. VIDEO OF THE WEEK: @nouryyildiz's "Hollywood Selfie Part 2"—running through classic Hollywood sets with Brando, Eastwood, DiCaprio. 2M views. Made with Nano Banana and Kling. Just pure fun. Oh, and I'm committing to at least one tutorial in every issue from now on. The tools are evolving fast—we need to keep up. ONE MORE THING: Still not subscribed? Get on it! It's free and it's the easiest way to stay current in AI filmmaking without drowning in noise. And if I can ask: if you're getting value from this, share it with one person who needs to see it. A fellow editor, a filmmaker friend, that creative who keeps asking you "what tools should I be learning?" This is the answer. https://aiography.beehiiv.com/subscribe Finally, let me know what you think. I value every one of your opinions good or otherwise. Hey, I was an editor for decades, I'm used to people tearing apart my work! 😆✌🏼

Hi Larry! Before Lumarka is an actual thing we can use, what tools would u recommend to use right now for short form AI assisted film making?

We just crossed the 300 members mark! 💥🚀 (100% organically!) Jazzed that you decided to join us! I've been a little lax in posting here but I've got some really exciting things that I've been working on that I can't wait to share with you. Give me a couple of days and I'll fill you in on some of my plans on how AIography is going to become the place to be for anyone and everyone who wants to create dynamic media with AI. Peace, Love and Video Generating!! ✌️❤️🎥 LJ

Most likely could produce better results with a more descriptive prompt.
