👋For the last 2 months, I've been heads-down exploring ai image & video generation as my new personal project. I was shock by the capabilities of current ai image/video space. But every ai creators face a common pain point.. this sh*t is hard. Haha. Thats why all youre seeing are ai slops. Then about 1 month ago, I sent the kids to my relative for few weeks and lock myself in a room and went nerd out to build a tool that lets me take an idea and turn it into a profession cinematic video. I recorded it working on a real project and wanted to share what it actually does — and why I'm pouring everything into it. The idea in a nutshell: Instead of guessing what makes a video great, my tool studies one: → I give it an original video as a study case (here's the one I used: [youtube]) → It analyzes that video and pulls out its DNA — the small details in every component that make it work: the shots, the pacing, the sound, the transitions, the feel. → Then it reverse-engineers that DNA into something completely new and my own — and carries it all the way through, even into the editing, mostly automatically. The Unfolded short film bellow received the same DNA treatment, as you will see, the context is similar ..however, it produced a very unique animation perspective using origami. Every user who analyzes a film makes the library richer for the next one. That's a network effect — the rare thing that actually compounds. GitHub for film DNA: fork a look, make it yours, push it back. I have tried to use it to branch off ideas from Game of Thrones series. It is very complex to keep track of all the different kingdoms, characters, props, and story development. But i think i got it figured out. Theres no one size fit all approach for different type of contents. Horror dna cant get mix up with cartoon 😂. But this is the closest thing to a “reusable” end to end video generation. Correct me if im wrong but there isnt a product out there that can solve this yet. This is a foundation to a full content creation pipeline - you re using a proven video as a reference for your own video. Once you figured out your winning format, automate it to create video daily/weekly is the easy part.

Anyone else running unraid or something like that? I'm quite excited about having something that will always be online for dispatch in the mobile app :-). I could have done a windows vm but im not paying for another windows license.... It can't drive the desktop yet or a browser - and just debian for now *edit*: woops ubuntu too! - but still, pretty cool https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop-linux

Designing systems & products, PLUS making them look good, was my specialty. Now I can build without having to lean on developers! This is great, I'm so happy! and in case anyone doubts my commitment to my craft, here's how I roll (see below). I can shift between setups in about 5 seconds, the mounts were almost as expensive as the monitors and it's a good thing my desk is made of cold-rolled steel, if anyone else tried this on some particle board nonsense, the whole desk would flip over and end them... that'd be an ironic epitaph written on your tombstone... killed by computer! 🤣🤣🤣
