Taste Test
It's fascinating to see how quickly AI filmmaking has evolved.
This film teaser was created in October 2025, while this brand commercial was created in June 2026.
Just eight months apart, yet the difference in tools, workflows, and creative possibilities feels remarkable.
Curious to hear your thoughts - which one do you like more?

The October 2025 one has that raw, experimental energy I actually love. But the June 2026 commercial is a completely different level of control. Lighting, composition, performance direction, it all coheres in a way that would have taken a full crew not long ago.
Thank you! That's a thoughtful observation. Appreciate you taking the time to watch both and share your perspective 🙌
June 2026 got my upgoat
Really appreciate that! 🙌 June 2026 definitely reflects how much both the tools and my creative process have evolved in just a few months.

Morning Ritual looks good
Top 1% across three categories at once is no small thing. Congrats, Lynn.
Hospitable gave us one job. Make a short-term rental host feel seen and use story to drive a feeling.
No feature walkthroughs, just a video that a new short term rental host would relate to.
What we landed on was a voicemail. A host leaving a message for a friend who just listed their first place. And for the visuals we landed on approaching it from the POV the host's iPhone. What are moments a host would actually capture in the lead up to hosting for the first time?
We made the whole thing with generative AI. That's the part some people will push back on, and that's fair.
But most of our time went into restraint. Pulling the generated stuff back until it felt ordinary and lived-in instead of shiny. AI just let us build that world without a five-figure shoot getting between us and the idea.
Multiple models for the homes and the people, Seedance for video, and VO with elevenlabs.
It was refreshing to use these tools to chase a feeling, not just try to wow people with AI. We learned a ton in this project and look forward to creating more with this team.
