Hello, World. This video is kind of personal. I stopped making videos ten years ago. I was doing countless corporate gigs, and the whole thing started to feel tedious and soulless. I always wanted to tell stories; that's why I studied filmmaking. Discovering generative AI felt like making my first short film, and playing with it since then has opened up a world of possibilities.

So the story references different stages. The macaw is the public that's apprehensive about AI and doesn't want anything to change. The raccoon is that moment of discovery. The sacred chamber of gods is what I feel right now: both awe and fear of what AI can do, or could become. And being propelled to LA, crash-landing in the mecca of filmmaking, is the cherry on top.

Why a mango tree? We have a macaw at home, and she is so protective of her mango tree. I don't think AI could ever evoke how crazy and loud she screams when an unknown person or animal gets close to it.

What happens when you give an old piece a dark mode and a pair of sunglasses? 🕶️

I took a piece from my portfolio and ran it through Krea 3 to see how far I could push it while keeping the original composition.

Before → light and daytime. After → dark mode, with sunglasses.

Where it helped: quick edits that kept the composition intact, making it easy to explore a different mood. Where I’d still go by hand: final color balance, lens reflections, and those tiny details that make everything feel intentional.

Before or after? Tell me which one you’d keep and what you’d edit next 👇

Beautiful
