Hey everyone 👋 I've spent the past few weeks rebuilding the Academy from the ground up, which is why this month's challenge starts a little late. To celebrate the new version, October is a relaunch challenge, and for the first and only time it's open to every member, free and Premium. 🎬 THE CHALLENGE Make an AI build video and post it. Start from a free Starter Build (Car, Storybook Cottage or Hidden Bunker), any Prompt Vault build, or your own idea. 📅 DATES Saturday, October 10 through Saturday, October 31 at 11:59 PM Central. 📤 HOW TO ENTER Create your own post in 🎨 Show Your Work with: - Title: October Challenge · your video's name - Your video (upload it or paste the link) - A line or two on what it is and how you made it - Optional: your socials, and a link to where you posted it publicly One entry per person. 🏆 PRIZES (Amazon gift cards) 🥇 $50 🥈 $25 🥉 $10 🗳️ HOW WINNERS ARE PICKED The three entries with the most likes on their Show Your Work post win. A tie goes to the video with more views on its public social post, so include that link if you have one. I'll announce the winners in the first week of November and feature them on the Show Your Work page in 👋 Start Here. 🤝 KEEP IT FRIENDLY This challenge is about getting everyone creating. Some of you will post your very first AI video; others have posted dozens. Every entry counts. Watch the other entries, like the ones you enjoy, and comment on what worked. That kind of feedback is how everyone here gets better, fast.

It is time to start a new Academy tradition... Skool’s favorite sporting event has officially arrived at Crafted Motion Academy: GIF DUELS. Here is how it works: You begin with a GIF attack. I will defend and counterattack with another GIF. The battle continues until one of us gives up or concedes defeat. Who is brave enough to challenge me? GO!!! 👇

Melted plastic builds are running right now: colorful bottle caps melted down and pressed into marbled garden pavers, old tires turned into molds, trash becoming treasure on camera with a built-in reveal the second the mold opens. AI channels are already eating in this lane: ♻️ Sitio Revivi, an AI channel posting recycled/DIY builds, launched in late March and sits at 179K subscribers and 42M+ views three and a half months later. 🎨 Epoxy Muse, AI resin and DIY builds, is averaging nearly 490,000 views PER video across just 62 uploads (30M+ total). The timing multiplier: it's Plastic Free July, a 165M-view hashtag wave, live through July 31. Monday, July 13, the full tutorial drops in the Prompt Vault. Every image prompt, every animation prompt, the demold reveal, the finishing guide. Post yours this month and ride the wave. 🔥
