Fun project I concepted and directed @form_films - inspired by my nephew after catching a whiff of him at his football game. Haha!
Our latest AI spec commercial: DOWNWIND, a spec commercial for boys who smell like… boys.
A little after-school comedy from the Form team. Having fun exploring these tools and seeing what we can make.

I gave Claude Fable 5.2 one sentence: an underground temple where a society worships chess. Then I kept working on other things and checked in with notes. About fifty of them over five hours.
"Make the pieces heavy." "Captured pieces should explode." "Add a prisoner behind the wall. He's mad though." "Scarier."
Each note became a brief. It built the temple in Blender, wrote the game, directed the voices, and ran 12 AI agents in parallel. When I asked for a harsh reviewer, the first verdict on its own work was "Do not post this today." It worked through the list.
What came out: you wake up sealed in a temple. The floor is a giant marble chessboard. You lift the stone pieces yourself. Something unseen plays black, and what it takes, shatters. There's a way out, and an hourglass running.
It isn't perfect. It is playable, and I never opened an editor.
AI filmmakers: how often do you reach for start frames, or start and end frames? Every shot, sometimes, or almost never? My gut keeps steering me away from them after some bad results, but I wonder if I'm underusing a good tool.
Josh made my childhood come to life! Love this song!
Frosty has his special. Rudolph has his.
It always bothered me that there was never a Darcy the Dragon Christmas special.
So I made one for one of my favorite songs on the greatest Christmas album of all time: The Roger Whittaker Christmas Album.
All of the video was generated with local models on my DGX Spark. The references were made with ChatGPT's 2.6 image model.
What other Christmas songs deserve their own videos?

1/ Let a team of AI agents work our film overnight. Each one took a scene: read my notes, rewrote the prompt, checked it three ways, rendered, graded its own take against my notes, then ran one follow-up. Hard stop if the money got low. Woke up to keepers in four scenes.

5/ A character's light finally switched on mid-shot instead of already glowing. The trick was writing a short dark beat first, then the light, then her look up. Order of events, written plainly.

A lot of the strongest AI filmmakers I know left Hollywood when nothing was opening up. Years of shorts and honing story, and now the tools let them actually make the thing. Technicians and storytellers are going to separate fast. If you're both, this is your moment.
Talked AI video pricing with a friend in the industry this morning. Right now it's the Wild West. Companies are paying top dollar for work that used to be out of their budget. My guess is rates drop in 3 to 6 months as more people learn this. Where do you think they land?

The part of AI I keep coming back to is entry-level jobs. Most of what I'd hand an intern, my AI tools already do. If you're 18 to 24, walk in knowing AI well enough to show the owner how to change the company. But if nobody hires juniors, where do the seniors come from?
Client spot, 16 scenes. I described every shot, location and moment to Claude hooked into Blender and asked for previs. It built a stadium, a running track, rough characters and rough animation. The whole spot was in front of the client in about a day, with zero video credits spent.

Advice I gave a friend this morning on getting into AI video: draft at 480p. Paying per generation, a 10 second Seedance render at 480 runs about a dollar. Stay there until the characters do what you asked, then render 1080. $100 of 480 drafts teaches you a ton.

He had his agent find this in hundreds of hours of video we have from growing up.
