Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well. I’m looking to connect with people based in the United States who are interested in building something profitable together over the long term. A lot of people want to start something on their own but get held back by a lack of technical skills or experience. I’m exploring a different kind of partnership where we can combine our strengths and work toward a shared goal. There’s no upfront investment required, and you don’t need advanced technical skills or previous experience. What matters most is being reliable, confident, willing to learn, and committed to following through. If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to talk more and see if there’s a good fit for us to work together. Please send a DM or reach out on Telegram: @calton_dev

First, a little credit to Jonas. His work and enthusiasm for video creation have genuinely inspired me to explore this side of AI more seriously. Yesterday, Jonas posed a question to the group. Rather than simply typing out a response, I thought, why not create one? So that’s what I did. From concept to finished video in under an hour. Not a big deal. I’ve been working with generative AI, creative prompting, writing, and visual content for quite some time. Video creation is a relatively new extension of that work, but the underlying creative process is familiar territory. For anyone interested, here’s how ChatGPT, Grok, and I put it together. 1. The Idea It started with Jonas’s question. I already had some creative ideas and visual themes I’d been developing, so I decided to translate that inspiration into a short video rather than another written response. 2. Creative Development — ChatGPT I worked with ChatGPT to develop the concept, establish the visual direction, and create the prompts. This is a collaborative process. I provide the ideas, creative direction, preferences, and feedback. ChatGPT helps translate those decisions into detailed prompts that the video generator can interpret. 3. Prompt Review and Refinement Before generating anything, I review the prompts. If something doesn’t reflect what I’m trying to communicate, I change it. I’ve learned that the quality of the instructions matters, but so does knowing what you’re trying to achieve in the first place. 4. Video Generation — Grok Once I’m satisfied with the prompts, I take them into Grok and generate the video. That’s where the written direction becomes moving imagery. 5. Review, Edit, Repeat I watch what Grok produces and decide what works and what doesn’t. If the movement, composition, atmosphere, or other visual details aren’t right, I make adjustments and generate another version. It’s a back-and-forth process between my creative judgment, ChatGPT’s assistance with the prompts, and Grok’s generation capabilities.

For me it was skateboarding, the love for being outside and capturing the aliveness around me. Here is one video of that time. I am curious, how did you start / are starting / think of starting? What makes you curious and what excites you? Share it with me!

I went to an art gallery the other day and I felt like a kid in a candy store as my imagination ran wild while browsing through various art works of different artist. It reminded me that I should make it a habit as a filmmaker to explore different art forms to expand my imagination. Everyone is a storyteller in their own unique ways. Art is a universal language.
