Title:
Lead Audio Engineer — Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram
Short description:
600+ episodes. 1M+ weekly listeners. Broadcast-standard mixing, dialogue editing, and remote recording for one of the largest Christian radio and podcast ministries in the US.
Full project description:
For two years I served as the lead audio engineer for Living on the Edge, the national broadcast ministry of pastor and author Chip Ingram. Every piece of audio that reached the audience passed through my hands before it went to air — six weekly episodes delivered without missing a single deadline across 600+ productions.
Work included dialogue editing, mixing and mastering to broadcast loudness standards, remote guest recording session engineering, and original music composition for narrative feature episodes. The broadcast reaches over one million weekly listeners across radio, podcast, and app platforms.

I used to think the secret to better AI video was writing longer prompts.
This project changed how I approach prompting.
I took one of my actual Seedance 2.5 prompts and broke it apart. What looked like one detailed prompt was actually several different shots, camera movements, actions, and cinematic directions competing for the model's attention.
So I started treating AI video prompts more like shot direction:
SHOT → SUBJECT → ACTION → ENVIRONMENT → CAMERA → MOTION → LOOK → CONSTRAINTS
In this walkthrough, I show the real process, including how I structure the prompt, generate the scene, identify what isn't working, and refine the instructions.
The lesson is simple:
Don't make the prompt longer. Make the instructions clearer.
Think like a director, not a novelist.

Title: FOLLOWER OF
FOLLOWER OF wakes a painting nobody signed. "Christ's Descent into Hell" (The Met, 26.244) is by an anonymous follower of Hieronymus Bosch, sold as a Bosch in Prague in 1926 and still unattributed. I chose it because I love Bosch, and because a painting by a follower asks the question the whole panel is about: who follows whom.
For a hundred seconds the painting comes to life without ever leaving the surface of the paint. A lantern wakes it. Light breaks the gate of hell. Adam and Eve beg with empty hands, the saved climb the stairs, Saint Christopher slips away from the devil's army with the child on his shoulders, Judas will not let go of the bag, Sisyphus keeps climbing, and the ones who stay behind keep living by the giant head. The ending comes from the Met's own technical notes: the blue corner of the sky was painted over fire. The painter changed his mind.
Every shot starts from a crop of the Met's open access image: no new figures, no new colors, only what the painter left. Each crop was upscaled with Magnific Precision Upscaler, animated with Kling 3.0 Pro, with prompts refined by Claude Opus 5 inside FLORA. The narration is Gemini TTS, the score is ElevenLabs Music: a sixteenth century Franco-Flemish consort reimagined for a painting of hell. The whole pipeline ran from Claude Code on the desktop through FLORA's MCP: the agent built the graph, ran the models and kept the production ledger, and every creative decision stayed with me. Structure, shot list and sound design follow a kishotenketsu: the turn is not a fight, it is a painter changing his mind.
Christ's Descent into Hell, Follower of Hieronymus Bosch (Netherlandish, second quarter of the 16th century). Oil on two oak planks, 53.3 x 116.8 cm. The Met, Harris Brisbane Dick Fund, 1926 (26.244), on view in Gallery 613. A panoramic hell where Christ breaks the gate to free the just: Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, David and the patriarchs climb a ruined tower, Sisyphus heaves his stone up the rock on the right, and Judas is dragged back. Paint analysis shows the orange of the burning sky continuing under the blue in the upper left corner: more of the sky was originally on fire. Public Domain, Open Access.

Last month I delivered the identity for 105, a Swiss radio group.
On top of the identity, we designed the system for the covers of their radio channels, for the website and the app.
It was the most exciting part of the project (and also the longest). Feedback going back and forth between me and the client, and that built a good relationship between us.
We also created the images for every cover. Each one had to have its own mood, its own intensity, but they all had to talk to each other and sit well together.
I'm really happy with the final result, and we've had great feedback from their listeners and partners too.
Hoping to publish the full project soon.
nice work, i love the clarity & clean feel in each's dynamic beauty. color variations used here are stunning too.
