We’re about 90% complete! 👏🏾 I’ve officially opened the module, so if you want to take a sneak peek, GO FOR IT! 👀 Inside, I’m walking you through how I think about: 🎬 Storytellng Jobs 🎬 Building Your Story Framework 🎬 Storytelling Techniques 🎬 Directing Emotion & Performance 🎬 Camera Language 🎬 Breaking Your Story Into Generations I’m using my Set The Bar teaser to show you how I actually applied it. I’m finishing up the final Higgsfield generation walkthrough today, and the full module will be complete tomorrow! If cinematic storytelling has been something you’ve wanted to explore, start digging in. 🎬 And remember, you do NOT have to know it all to start creating!

Most of us cinematic directors are naturally drawn to 16:9 because... It just gives FILM, right? But lately, I’ve been testing, exploring and adjusting my storytelling ads specifically for 9:16, and it definitely changes the way I think about my images, framing, camera movement and how I build the story. And I’m a student right now too. 👩🏾‍💻 So I’ve been learning and experimenting more with video extension features, testing what works, what doesn’t and where these models will have you wasting credits for absolutely no reason. 🙄 Once I’ve worked through it and have my tips, tricks and workflow together, I’ll be dropping a module inside the classroom (STORYTELLING ADS) so y’all can try your hand at it without having to do all the expensive experimenting first. For now... I’m dropping my latest “Someone’s Home” storytelling ad below. I’ve been having FUN exploring these Storytelling ads. Quick tip - If your not using capcut. I highly recommend learning a few editing tips! ;) That module is inside the classroom.

Ok.... soooooo a group I'm in 'threatened' me with a good time. I usually dont bite but tonight I bit and got caught. It was the juke joint for me.

Okay, has anybody played with the new ChatGPT Images 2.5 yet?! I was generating images earlier and literally thought, “Dangggg… these are GOOD.” lol I didn’t even realize at first that a new image model had dropped. They’ve improved image quality, natural lighting, textures, reference image consistency, etc.. I’ll put it through the Director test this week. Has anyone used it yet?

Yesterday I opened my sneak peek Skool video with: “You know what my biggest mistake has been? Adding value without increasing my price.” That’s a negative leaning hook. The words “biggest mistake” immediately create tension and curiosity. You want to know... what mistake? But here’s the strategy. The negative angle wasn’t directed at my audience. I made MY MISTAKE the hook. And it was TRUE. I had continued adding more value to The Digi Collective without increasing the price. So now the hook isn’t just getting attention. It gives me a natural bridge into the message, the price increase, and the urgency around the deadline. The tension got your attention. The truth gave me somewhere relevant to take it. That’s the part I want y’all to pay attention to. Negative leaning hooks don’t always have to sound like: “YOU’RE doing this wrong.” Sometimes the stronger angle is: “Here’s what I got wrong.” and often times people are all ears! 👂 Experiment with tension, mistakes, misconceptions, unpopular truths and curiosity while still sounding like YOU. And go back through the Hooks Module in the classroom. The videos were created a while ago (6 months is now awhile 😵‍💫) but the strategy and formulas are still relevant. I literally pulled from that strategy for my own campaign yesterday. 🎬 Because let’s be real... 😫 people WILL stop for negativity, tension or confrontation. The strategy is knowing how to use it without losing your voice.
