Author, transmedia architect, speaker, creator, and dad - I've got more titles than a Game of Thrones character, but with less beheading and more dad jokes.

John Ford directed more than 80 movies before Stagecoach.
That's the real advantage of AI filmmaking: reps.
I could have spent the next year learning to sculpt these puppets and build this set. That's a real craft that I admire. It's just not the one I'm trying to master. I'm trying to get better at telling stories, and now I can tell a lot more of them.
Fun Size, a fun-sized Halloween film. Made with invideo.

I made this in a couple hours (not including scripting) and blender made it so much easier to direct the shots in the way I wanted
+Made it 3x cheaper to make because I had to do less regens

As an AI-film creator, you need to stop relying on lip-sync tools for every single line of dialogue. Over-using face generators makes your characters look like talking statues.
If you observe real filmmaking, you notice that about 60% of dialogue happens over reaction shots, cutaways, and B-roll.
Cut away from the speaker’s mouth and let the voiceover carry over environmental visuals.

hey Screenwriter
Are you in it for the art OR the money?
Trick question!

Rick Rubin understands
what many artists still refuse to accept.
Creativity isn't in moving the brush.
It's knowing what to paint.
AI doesn't change that.

George Lucas is reportedly lobbying for Christopher Nolan to direct a standalone STAR WARS: DARTH VADER film.
Hayden Christensen is reportedly attached to lead the project, marking his return to the suit for an R-rated, dark-fantasy exploration of the Sith Lord’s peak Imperial era.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This post is from a known parody/satirical account. No credible sources support claims of George Lucas lobbying Christopher Nolan for a Darth Vader film or Hayden Christensen's attachment to such a project; these are unsubstantiated rumors and fan speculation.

Tom Cruise says it originally took six hours for the “Digger” hair and makeup team to apply his Digger Rockwell prosthetics, but he quickly made the process “more efficient” by showing up with a chalkboard and timing how long it took to put each prosthetic on:
“I had a guy there with a stopwatch and I’m like, ‘OK, you see that time, six hours? By the time we’re done, we’re going to get it under an hour.’ They were like, ‘No, I’m not doing that, it will never happen.’ I’m like, ‘OK, first of all, if you say no, you can’t do it, you will never get there. So can we agree that we’ll maybe make it a little less?’ So with each piece that was going on, it was timed and then we’d drill and practice.”
It worked, and they eventually got his makeup and prosthetics routine down to under an hour: “They were like, ‘What?!’ And they didn’t even know it, and they didn’t even rush. I like going into a system, studying it and trying to figure out how I can do it better, more efficient. The films that I make, I’m constantly going, how can I do it better?”

Samson was the size of an NFL lineman or one of those massive guys, like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson or Brian Shaw, champions of the World's Strongest Man competition. Mountains of muscle.
Well, no. Quite the opposite, probably.
Samson was likely about 5'6" and 135 pounds. Give or take. About the average size of an adult male in his time. Why? Because no one could figure out the source of his incredible strength.
I mean, come on, if Samson were 6'8" and 375 pounds, do you really imagine the Philistines needed Delilah to “seduce him, and see where his great strength lies” (Judg. 16:5)? It would have been as plain as day.
So, sorry, but most those Sunday School pictures of Samson are wrong.
Samson’s strength was from above, a gift from God. His long, uncut hair symbolized his Nazirite calling (Judg. 13:5; 16:17), but his hair was not magical. Again and again, Judges tells us the true source of his power: “The Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him” (Judg. 14:6, 19; 15:14).
His strength came from outside himself.
His weakness came from inside himself.
There’s something deeply Christian about that.
A saying attributed to Augustine puts it this way: “O Lord, everything good in me is due to you. The rest is my fault.”
To the extent that I lust, am self-indulgent, and self-absorbed, like Samson, that is on me. To the extent that I love, serve, give, and fight for what is right, also like Samson, that is a gift from God and a work of his Spirit in me.
That is why we live a Romans 7 kind of life, in this tug-of-war, pulled one way by our sin and another way by the Spirit.
And that is why we rejoice with Paul: “Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Rom. 7:24–25).
Thanks be to God that in our Samson-like lives, when we make a royal mess of things, the hair of our heads begins to grow again (Judg. 16:22). We are brought to repentance, and Jesus Christ our Lord is always there, his blood providing atonement for us.
Our failures are ours. Our salvation is his.
