![It’s not Guillermo’s fault, they’re being lied to and are in a bubble.

Guillermo Del Toro would tell you this is shit from an app and not real art or film. 🤣 This has more emotion going on in a 30sec soundless clip then most of what I’ve seen out of Hollywood the last 3 years lol 🤷♂️ ‘TZIGANE’ • Sept 3rd • Live!

This is the power of VFX and AI now.. Creating volumetric effects in AI and then using AfterEffects and Premiere to layer and edit + Topaz Labs to upscale, you can visually achieve the same effects that would have taken me A LOT longer in Cinema4D/Blender. This is really amazing, only because if I can do this now with what we have, imagine where it will be in 6-mo 🔥 it will only get better. Soon we’ll be able to do a lot more within 3D environments with gaussian splats and volumetric effects. It won’t be long after that before Cinema, blender and others integrate gaussian splats and generative prompting directly into the software design and render process. At that point things are going to get REALLY BADASS! I’m chillin tonight, finally a night off lol. But tomorrow I’ll show you guys how I did this ❤️

‘HE IS KING’ 🎥💻 WORLD PREMIERE!! 🔥🔥🔥 #AIfilm taking a huge leap forward.. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my work, including my family and close friends, it has meant the world to me, especially as I transitioned into this new space and my work took a new direction abruptly haha. AI has significantly changed my life for the better. As a visual artist & filmmaker who lives on the fringe of creative expression and work spans a range of mediums and style, this is the first time in my life, where what I am doing has given me more than inspired drive, it’s given me purpose. When I set out to make this film I wanted to tell a different kind of story, while also showing everyone what I envision for my work and the voice I wanna have as a filmmaker and artist. Time is so short in life, and often times we aren’t lucky enough to find what I’ve found. So for me, that’s what drives me, along with the need to tell stories visually of course haha. But, that sense of purpose, I want to inspire people to want to be more. Not for success, but for self fulfillment. HE IS KING, is a powerful, AI-generated short film that reframes one of the most iconic moments in American history. Written and directed by myself, the film offers an emotionally intimate and visually groundbreaking exploration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the day of his legendary “I Have a Dream” speech. “HE IS KING" is witnessed as a cinematic moment, a glimpse, of a man, a message, and a movement. Told through an emotionally intimate story and unique perspective, the film follows Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the day of his most iconic address, the “I Have a Dream” speech delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. But it does more than document a moment we all know well, it pulls the audience into the soul of a leader preparing to speak truth to a nation on the edge of transformation, these moments are the moments histories most undeniable choices and creation around them, are rarely told or shown. From quiet moments writing in a candlelit church, to the silent prayer of a man alone with his thoughts, to the thunderous crescendo of a quarter-million people answering his call, "HE IS KING" honors the legacy of a man not as a monument, but as a human being carrying the weight of a dream. Segregation, resistance, and unity are woven through the speech like visual echoes, grounding King’s words in lived experiences. With meticulous period detail through research, grounded performances, and a reverent tone manifested through my vision and AI, the film captures the urgency, hope, and sacrifice of the civil rights movement through a modern lens of technology today giving a uniquely spectacular showcase of what is possible in today's world. The film is a testament to the enduring power of truth as well, spoken aloud and carried forward. It captures the soul of a movement while reminding us that the dream never died with him, it evolved, rising through the voices of new leaders, and now, through innovations like AI, it has the ability to reach beyond time, across borders, and into the hands of future generations. This is not just a story about a speech. It’s about the responsibility, and the promise, of being the ones who still dream. ❤️🎥 DH Created with: Google DeepMind VEO, Runway GEN 3/4 for some of the speech shots using GVFX custom promoted filters, Kling AI 1.6 LipSync, custom voice workflow to create a new unique voice closely resembling King, Magnific.ai with their masterful upscaling in the vintage shots I created, Adobe Video Premiere/AfterEffects for editing/Color Grading, and the finish from Topaz Labs to bring it to you in 4k brilliance!

I’ve got my workflow down to a science now. Depending on what is required in detail substance, or story, I can do a music video in 2 hrs from idea to conception. The one I just released is a conceptual representation of nightmares I have, where the entire world has disappeared, the world becomes carnivorous or rather we eat away our societal existence, and last my fear of non-existence myself. It took 1hr 47min idea to export, mostly was export lol, Gen. speeds are really good across the board now. Then I just sat on it til I didn’t have something else to post 🤣 it’s all about knowing what works for you. I have a ton of work and can’t post all the time, so being good at a concept or theme or something that speaks to you creatively is great to get good at cause 1. It’s good practice between work/jobs. And 2. Because in today’s world being consistent is all that matters and that means consistently showing up with good shit. 🔥 Se yah at 12am EST for my space, I’ve got some good tunes coming..

I’m really proud of a lot of the shots I have been able to achieve lately with the adherence to prompts getting so good it’s a level of creative control I e been dying for and really starting to make me actual dreams come true for just myself working with these tools! Prompting is such a unique and creative aspect of what we all do in AI. Knowing when to prompt long form and when not to, what keyword tokens and how they are applied in sequence, structure and formatting, they all matter. Especially with the models not needing extensive prompts, that’s actually where you can shine with how you use it because sometimes simpler is better but in other instances extensive motion/movement detail can be the difference maker for a cool shot or a spectacular one. I’ve been focusing a lot on shot development prompts and structure testing and I’ve managed to find a sweet spot. I’m Gonna put together a little rundown on how I did some of mine next week for this film. 🙌😎🔥💯🎥
