👋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.

hm... i am wondering. is it so early in this process of using AI? in this community - and i just joined another one and see they are mainly focused on the consultants (i call it here like that for that purpose) - we are many entrepreneurs, compared to the ones consulting them. i mean: programmers and marketing people ... if i say consultants. here we are also some that are not within that group. i guess because Jake Van Clief is working with whats there already for all of us - the folder and files. so while everyone is building for us, the entrepreneurs that need these consultants - something that we can use, like some sort of SaaS, we skip that part and go directly to the root and the future. so i am wondering. are there even any platforms out there that train the non technical entrepreneurs? EDIT: because of the comments of @Mira Bradshaw and @Bas Rosario because i am not sure if i got it right what Bas understood i was saying. so i probably was not clear enough and try to correct myself. Bas, you seem to have understood that i struggle on the business part. to clarify that: i was struggling till 30th of June. that was a tipping point in a good way. i was struggling because the business enviroment was and is a serious challenge here in Europe (last 3 years with sun rays again since january, so its getting better). if i understand you right Bas, you are talking about entrepreneurs that are in any industry BUT marketing, bookkeeping and programming but need all these skills, simply as part of any business and underestimate how important these areas are - i couldn´t agree more and that something i am observing as well since years with friends and business partners. Mira, you got my point on the spot, with the underlying topic of the gap that Bas described. EDIT again since the second half of the copy got lost 🤦‍♀️ its not that i am seeking something. but now with Bas` comment i came to one more insight.

AI tools seem to evolve every week. It's easy to get caught up trying every new model, app, or feature that gets released. But I have found that the biggest improvements usually don't come from constantly switching tools they come from building simple habits and workflows that you use consistently. For example, it could be: - Using AI to organize your notes. - Creating reusable prompts. - Automating repetitive tasks. - Summarizing meetings or research. - Brainstorming ideas before starting a project. What's one AI habit, workflow, or prompt you use regularly that genuinely saves you time? Not necessarily the most advanced just something practical that has made your work a little easier. I think a thread of simple, proven ideas could end up being more valuable than another list of "must-try" AI tools.
