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!

Good morning! Here’s my first commercial! 😊 I’ve created short films before, but now I’m in the process of building my personal brand, so this was a little different for me. The two videos actually go hand in hand as part of the same campaign. I really like how it came together! It took me a little time to get my AI twin together 😂, but I’m finally starting to feel like, “Okay, that’s HER!” She’s still a work in progress, and I know the cohesiveness and overall quality of the campaigns will continue to get better over time. TASTIES is a mock donut company I created specifically for this commercial, so the entire concept gave me a chance to experiment with creating a full brand campaign from scratch. Definitely a learning process, but I’m really enjoying it!

I wanted to experiment with how much creative direction alone can change the perception of a product. For this piece, I created a fictional sneaker called YUDY and kept the product consistent while placing it into three completely different campaigns: LUXURY → STREET → FUTURE Same sneaker. Three different environments, moods, camera treatments, sound designs, and brand perceptions. One of the biggest challenges was AI product consistency. Any time I tried adding AI-generated camera movement, the sneaker would subtly shift or deform. The solution was to stop forcing the video model to animate the product. I used the generated stills and created the camera movement manually with keyframes in CapCut. That kept the product stable while still giving each scene motion. The bigger idea behind the experiment: The product doesn't have to change. Change the story, and you can change how the product feels. This was created as another UdF Media portfolio experiment exploring AI-assisted commercial production and creative direction. Would love to know which treatment you think sells YUDY best: Luxury, Street, or Future?

I’ve been watching y’all create and I SEE YOU! 👀 I’m seeing new directors posting their work for the very first time, returning directors exploring different styles, and creators taking what they’re learning and building actual campaigns for their businesses. @Latosha Brown @Bryant Wright @Kevin Holmes @Lanitta Willis @Trina Noel @Jessica Williams @Tamarah Douglas @Dr Tajiri Brackens Profit Protector @Sha Brooks @Chondrea Black Amazing job gang!! Don’t be afraid to post because you’re still learning. This is where you practice, experiment, get feedback and develop your own creative voice! And when you see another director post their work, show them some love! ❤️ Like it. Leave a comment. Give encouragement. Ask questions. We’re building alongside each other. 🙌🏽

I was literally just playing around yesterday, sketching different ideas, and then this bright idea hit me. I said, okay... NEW LEVEL UNLOCKED. 😂 With the new ChatGPT Astra, I can take something I sketch myself and actually turn it into clothing. So of course I had to test it. I sketched this outfit, and I purposely wanted it to be one of those designs where you’re either going to say: “What the heck is she wearing?” 😂 OR... “Wait... where can I get that?” 👀 Either way, it gets some kind of reaction. 😂 But THIS is the part that has me thinking. I can sketch my own clothing, turn the sketch into an actual fashion design, create a character wearing it, and then take that SAME character and SAME outfit and put her inside one of my cinematic stories. That opens up a whole different creative lane for me. And y’all already know how my brain works. 😂 Now I’m sitting here thinking about what kind of story I can put her in. I was just sketching yesterday... Now apparently I’m a fashion designer and a movie director. 😂 Yeah... I’m about to have way too much fun with this.
