I just added a quick post on the Shooting Ratio in AI, and why not every take is a keeper. Here’s the truth: in traditional filmmaking, often only 1 in 10 shots makes the cut. The same goes for AI. If you’ve been frustrated that most generations don’t hit the mark, you’re not alone. I get frustrated too. That’s the process. Multiple takes lead to the magic. Check it out now in Director’s Notes (in the classroom).

Last week I was experimenting and put together a 13-second edit — basically the opening of a music video. It’s a little homage to the 90s grunge/rock scene that inspired me when I was younger. Short, raw, and fun to make. What are you working on?

I got this via email today... some interesting workflow ideas we could all use. 😆

I did this one a few months ago (Nov 2024) for a Storytelling course I did. It was created using Midjourney and animating it with Kling. Things have come a long way since then. AI is much more powerful. We have Sora and Veo3 now... I'll work on more stuff soon... and I know I'll get a LOT out of this awesome new community. 😁

Prompt: cinematic medium shot of a charismatic pop singer with brightly colored hair, dancing on a vibrant, retro-futuristic set filled with neon lights and holographic displays. The atmosphere is energetic and joyful, with lens flares and light streaks creating a sense of motion. Shot on a RED Komodo with a 24mm lens, high-energy, pop art style, saturated colors. --ar 16:9 --raw --profile e7t64gr --v 6
