I appreciate how you all have helped me with feedback and inspiration. As I do more for this business I'm building, I just want to share with you what I'm doing to continue learning the ways to go about this. The fact that some of you are in business, doing what I want/will be doing, I just want tips and tricks on how to do what I'm doing. Big s/o to @Coach Toy Laster @Tamarah Douglas @Bryant Wright @Issa Minkah for the words of encouragement and feedback. Today, I sent out 10 emails to local restaurants. My first phase is to create a portfolio of local restaurants by creating a 15 second video with the hopes of getting future business and showcasing the portfolio on my Facebook page and website. So, I created a Gmail account (for now), a virtual business card and a QR Code.

First off, I'm taking today and getting busy with building UdF Media. I want to work on my webpage/site and other things, BUT I'm so focused on creating lol. Anyway, I want to thank @Bryant Wright for the commercial for the Whataburger comeback commercial. It got me to create this Nike Ad

I just want to give a big thank you to Toy for her guidance. I learned how to put together a cinematic AI video, and I can already tell this is only the beginning for me. I wanted to practice with something that felt like a real brand opportunity, so I started researching companies that had customer demand around a product coming back. That’s when I came across Whataburger bringing back one of their sandwiches. So I took that idea and created a cinematic commercial around the return. This was really about taking what I learned and actually applying it instead of just watching tutorials. I still have a lot more I want to learn, but I’m excited to keep building, experimenting, and getting better with every video. Thank you again, Toy, for helping me get started. This is definitely only the beginning.

First off, thanks for the "shout" ( that's how I took it lol) on the Character Sheet tutorial. That made a Brother's Sunday. I'm also going through the UnRegistered video module and I wanted to clear something up. Like you said I use Dzine for my image and video generations and after you referred to the Multishot feature in Kling, I looked to see if it was available in Dzine when using the various Kling's - they do have the feature. Thanks for inspiring me to look. Dzine AI is "my jam". Just wanted to say this and say "hello" to all y'all in here. As for the commercial challenge.. it "soon come" PS:

Just finished another fictional commercial for my AI portfolio, and this one may be my favorite so far. 🔥 Smoke & Oak BBQ Tagline: "Twelve hours of smoke. Fifteen seconds of temptation." With this project, I wanted to challenge myself to create a commercial that wasn't driven by flashy transitions or heavy visual effects. Instead, I focused on atmosphere, patience, and craftsmanship. For this campaign, I built everything from scratch: 🔥 Brand identity and logo 👨🏾‍🍳 Original character: Pitmaster Mason 📋 Character sheet and turnaround 🥩 Hero BBQ platter 🎬 15-second commercial storyboard 🎙️ Voiceover script 🎼 Custom Suno music direction 🔊 Layered sound design using ElevenLabs SFX prompts One thing I've been refining is my workflow. Rather than jumping straight into video generation, I'm treating each project like a real commercial production: - Build the brand - Design the characters - Create the hero products - Develop a director's board - Generate the visuals - Animate each shot - Add voiceover, music, and sound design It's made the final results feel much more cohesive and repeatable. I'd love your feedback: - Does the commercial feel like a real national BBQ campaign? - Which shot sells the food the best? - What's one thing you'd change to make it even stronger? Always appreciate the feedback and ideas from this community. Every project helps me improve the next one. Thanks for taking a look! 🔥🍖
