As the Digi Collective continues to grow, I’m opening the door for one more Community Producer to step into a leadership role inside the community! The Digi Collective is focused on building AI commercial and film skills through storytelling, short films, animation, editing, and visual branding! This role is for someone who enjoys supporting fellow creators, sparking conversation, and helping keep the energy of the space active and aligned. You don’t need to be an expert! Consistency, and community mindset matter most. You’ll be working alongside me and the team as we continue building this space. If you feel connected to the vision, and are interested in helping shape the culture of the Digi Collective, send me a message or drop a comment. 🎬 Lets continue to learn & elevate in this ever changing Ai space!

Most videos don’t end. They just… stop! Bookends are the intentional opening and closing moments of a video. They frame your content, create clarity, and turn a regular video into something that feels commercial ready. If you’ve noticed. I always add my logo.

Once you know how to create them, you can: ✔️ Offer logo animation as a standalone service. ✔️ Bundle Bookends into commercial packages. ✔️ Reuse them across multiple videos for the same client. 📌 Our 2nd Bookends Challenge is officially LIVE!! Your animated logo Bookend should be ready by Sunday, January 25th. Who’s participating again? Drop a 🖐🏽 📝 If you want guidance before you start, head to the Animate Logo module inside the classroom.

Now we train the harder skill - Making things mean something! This challenge is the bridge between: “I’m a creator” and “People get what I do and why it’s valuable.” If you're in drop a 💪🏾
