Wanted some feedback on this. What are some other effect ideas I can do? Is there anything that doesn’t look right about this?

Hey guys, past week i've been producing these micro content using after effects. I'm doing this to help establish my brand's image more thoroughly but also experiment with the visuals to later use in future longer post. I want to get some feedback on what you all think of the visuals and where i could potentially improve them https://www.instagram.com/p/DN0o6rTQDYh https://www.instagram.com/p/DOAldzvDn4j https://www.instagram.com/p/DODzBz-gNuO https://www.instagram.com/p/DOGP4L6gLsq

This exact situation happened to me today (technically its still happening 💀) and I made this just to he funny in the groupchat, but like….. any filmmakers here can relate? 😂

And it worked! I kept working non stop since yesterday to finish this summer project finally! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOyezcgj8Rk/?igsh=eWo5Njd2Z3ZyOTh4 I so relieved to put this behind me and move on to my other on hold projects, yesterday the talk with Josh helped, the publish button needs to be clicked. Let me know what you guys think

Sorry for the downer of a title, but with everything happening in the world right now, I've had a lot on my mind even while working thru the busiest period of the year. I just can't shake this pervasive feeling and I'm wondering if it's just me... I'm sure most people here are aware (at least I hope) that OpenAI's new video generation model/social media (??) platform Sora 2 released over the weekend and people are already making crazy stuff with it. It's still invite only, but once it's public, I fear that might mark a point of no return for social media, and the internet, as we know it. It's one thing to have a video gen model that is photorealistic and easy to use. It's another entirely to have a publicly and massively popular app specifically designed to easily create fake moments that do a solid job at looking/sounding (trippiest part for me) like they were actually taken by a phone/handy cam. The implications are horrifying without getting into the privacy concerns, and that's what I'm here to ask ya'll how you feel. I simply can't see myself continuing to use a platform that makes it impossible to tell wether what I'm looking at is real or not. I realize photoshop has been around for a while, but the barrier of entry to be able to easily doctor reality is still fairly high, and very difficult to do at scale. People already doctor the image of their lives they put online. These tools can empower creativity when used correctly, but if we're being real, that's not what the people designing them are prioritizing, and I just don't trust billionares to program these platforms to function in a way that is in the interest of people like us. And so, I find myself wondering where we're gonna go from here after that becomes the norm. We already know that Meta, Amazon, Google etc. will likely never care about creativity the way we do and put creators first (in actions, not just words), so to me, this idea of being able to build my own platform is very appealing. Also not unlike what some of my heroes have built (Corridor Crew, Jack Conte). Patreon seems like the blueprint, and while I trust Jack more than most tech bros, I still prefer to build something that no one can ever take away no matter what happens.
