Before generating an AI ad, get these four decisions clear.
One message. What should the viewer remember after the video ends?
Product truth. Which details must stay accurate: shape, packaging, label, colour?
One action per shot. “Premium coffee” is a mood. “Steam rises as the cup turns toward morning light” gives the scene something to do.
One destination. Plan the composition for the actual placement, whether that is 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9.
A practical brief can be four lines long. Agree on those lines before generating, then use them to judge each shot.
Save the checklist for your next product video.

Hey everyone! 👋🏼
Curious to know what AI tools you guys use for image generation in art direction and creative projects.
I'm particularly interested in tools that can produce realistic, cinematic imagery, with strong control over lighting, textures, composition, and overall visual consistency.
Which tools have given you the best results? Would love to hear your recommendations and experiences! ✨
For Image gen, using magnefic and gemini pro.
I hear Higgsfield is insanely good for image gen, but it's costly though.

New short film project 🤜🤛
Night After Halloween already has a fantastic script, and now comes the exciting part: bringing it to life through AI-powered visual storytelling.
My role is to take what's been imagined on paper and translate it into a cinematic experience through AI video production, creative direction, visual development, and detailed shot-by-shot execution.
From establishing the film's visual language and building atmospheric environments to crafting compelling characters, cinematic compositions, and seamless sequences, every visual decision needs to serve the story.
The goal isn't simply to generate beautiful AI visuals. It's to create a cohesive film where every frame feels intentional, every scene carries the right emotion, and the final experience does justice to the script.
The story is already there. Now, it's time to make audiences see it exactly as we envision it.
Excited to get this one rolling.

Keeping characters this consistent across shots is the hardest part of AI short films, and the atmosphere already feels cohesive in just 10 seconds. Curious how you're handling continuity once the story moves into new environments.
