$10. No actors. No set. No camera.
" How " is gone my friend it is all about " What " and that is the future.
Just a script I wrote, a concept I came up with, and AI to bring it to life. Made in one go.
What went into it
• One consistent character, held across every shot
• Zero actors, zero location, zero crew
• My script, my concept, my direction
• About $10 in generation cost
Everyone asks "how did you make this?" Wrong question.
AI has made the how cheap. The what is everything now: the idea, the story, the feeling you want someone to walk away with. That part still comes from a human brain, and that's exactly why I love working with AI.
Got a story worth telling? Let's make it.

KLUGE's marketing team asked the question most brands are quietly asking right now. What can generative video do today, and where does it still fall over?
They wanted an answer they could plan a budget around.
So I proposed a demonstration instead of a deck. One short story, told across four acts, designed from the first line to walk straight into every hard problem in AI video production. If a technique was going to break, I wanted it to break here, on a demo, rather than later on a live campaign.
This is beautiful. So much work must've gone into this. Well done!
A recent cinematic Formula racing project I worked on 🚀
Built with 3D and the latest AI tools to push the visuals into a more cinematic, filmic direction.
Always experimenting with new workflows to bridge 3D and AI.
the night race shots are moody as hell. blender or higgsfield for this one?
Claude + After effects (Here’s the exact 5 prompts, copy them) 🧵
Prompt 0: Setup
Approach: Computer Use - from now, henceforth.
Setup: After Effects is open on Screen 2.
Goal: Configure the project and create 4 working comps, named Scene 1 through Scene 4, before anything is built. All 4 comps use the settings below.
Project settings:
Color depth: 16 bpc
Linear blending on Comp settings:
Resolution: 2880x1620, square pixels
Frame rate: 30fps
Background: warm Don't ask any questions. Build.
Prompt 1: Plan the radial scene
Setup: Same project and comp. Plexus installed. Reference: Sketch
(see first comment for the sketch btw).
Goal: A radial plexus matching the sketch. All vertices start at a single centre point and spread outward in 3D. Lines grow from the centre to each endpoint. Each endpoint carries a different image. Camera with depth of field.
Reading the sketch:
The circle is the origin. Every line starts there, none connect to each other.
Line lengths and angles vary on purpose. Keep that irregularity, don't make it a perfect starburst.
The sketch is 2D, but the build is 3D. Some lines should push toward and away from camera, not just across the frame. Current state: Nothing built for this scene yet. Constraints:
Do not touch the project. Planning only, no computer use. Approach: Consider the best possible way of achieving this. It should be able to be edited realtime as well. Prioritize using plexus Output: A recommended approach with reasons. I'll approve before you build.

Prompt 2: Animate Scene 1 line connections
(i went back to creating the first scene)
Setup: Switch to the Scene 1 comp. Park the Scene 2 plan, we'll return to it.
Goal: Lines animate their connections, drawing from one vertex to the...
