My dad is back home, and it has been some time to adjust to new routines, and we are finally getting into a rhythm. Thanks so much for all your support, understanding and beatiful messages you have sent. I appreciate this a lot. See you next week for those of you on the weekly call, like this post to let me know you are aware of this change.

Big question for you. I need your honest vote. I’m at a crossroads with what to build next, and I want YOU to be the one who decides. Here are your two options: - Option A: Videos first, software second: I keep building out the weekly video lessons on schedule. You can see exactly what’s coming by clicking the curriculum link below. New modules drop consistently, you follow the step-by-step process, and we build the pipeline together lesson by lesson. - Option B: Software first, videos second: Instead of learning how to do each technique, you get a tool that does the technique for you, powered by AI. Here is what the software would include: - Brainstorm story ideas fast - Develop character psychology to build interesting characters quickly - Write and fix scripts line by line with AI assistance - Design characters with an integrated image generator - Build full storyboards shot by shot - Fix any shot to adjust camera angle or character position - Manually fix any panel with a built-in Photoshop-like editor - Put clips together with an online video editor - Advanced cinematography controls when generating your images, including: ∙ Close up ∙ Medium close up ∙ Full shot ∙ Over the shoulder ∙ Low angle / high angle ∙ Frontal, side, and 3-quarter view And this one is my favorite. - An AI coach assistant, available 24/7, powered by Claude. This is not a generic chatbot. It will have access to everything the video lessons are supposed to teach you. So instead of waiting for the next module, you ask a question, and you get the exact answer you need, right now, for your specific situation. Now here is something important regardless of which option wins. Whenever we start building the software, everyone in this community gets unlimited FREE credits for image generation and the AI chat assistant while we are in development. That is a gift from me to you for being here early. Video generation is more expensive to run, so that part will require a small pay-as-you-go investment when the time comes.

I just came across this Bob Doyle video on YouTube about WaveSpeedAI, a free desktop app which seems to have access to any model you want. No subscriptions - you just pay for what you use, via API usage. It also includes a lot of very useful free to use tools: video and image enhancers, background remover, audio and image converters etc. It looks like a good alternative to ComfyUI. I haven't had time to try it yet, but it definitely looks worth investigating. Link to download the app: https://wavespeed.ai/landing/desktop

In the past, creating all these infographics for the slides of a training I'm doing for the 10K HP Academy. Normally, this would take me a whole week, and thanks to Nano Banana and Claude, it took me 2 and a half hours! A total of 19 slides!

Johnny draws a sketch on the chalk wall, the children are in awe and they all come together and put their hands on top of the etching. This causes the wall to implode and open up a hole in the wall. I may add another short moment before the children approach the wall. I may have the drawing begin to animate slightly, then that animation will stop once the children put their hands on it and the wall will collapse and the hole will appear. Every few seconds is a story unto itself and it a long but precious process.
