Just a general question for you folks. What do you use your AI skills for. Is it just for fun or do you have a purpose when you making clips etc. I ask this because I am finding myself a little stuck and unmotivated.

Trained as a graphic designer at the Royal College of Art, he began his career directing commercials before moving to film. His 1979 debut Alien announced a filmmaker of extraordinary visual intelligence. Blade Runner in 1982 redefined science fiction cinema entirely. Over five decades he has worked across genres — epic historical drama, science fiction, thriller, war — always with the same obsessive attention to production design, atmosphere and light. At 86 he remains one of the most productive directors in Hollywood. A visual architect first, storyteller second. Ridley Scott's 5 Core Filmmaking Principles 1.
