🤗Hi Everyone! It’s so Exciting to see all of the new Directors and Creatives in The Digi Collective. Let’s have some fun and let’s get to know each other .. ⬇️Comment Below : 1. Your name + what you create or what you would like to create (director? animator? editor? all of the above? 2. One tool you’re currently obsessed with 3. A project you’re proud of (link it if you’ve got it!) To our OGs 🔥 you know the vibe, but let’s shake the dust off. Answer this one: 🎬What’s one creative risk you took this month that actually paid off? Could be a new animation style, a tool you finally tried, a story structure you experimented with anything. This community grows when we share the wins AND the “wait, this actually worked?!” moments. 💬 Tag someone in the group whose work inspired you recently. Let’s spread some appreciation and get eyes on projects people might’ve missed.

I may have fell in love with an app that actually uses seedance, and it is not Higgsfield. I now like Higgsfield as well. 👀I’ll check back in and tell You all the update after I finish this project using it. Do you all ever feel like you have to picky even if it takes a little longer to complete a project? If that is you , don’t feel bad . It’s no race , but we are training ourselves for excellence and to be Experts and Directors 🎬

I want to highlight one of our newest Directors! 👏🏾 He recently joined The Digi Collective, jumped right into the TV Commercial Tutorial and created his FIRST spec campaign for Whataburger using his AI Twin! What I loved about his spec campaign. He didn’t overdo it. 15 seconds was ALL this concept needed. The pacing worked, the concept was clear, and that hero shot of the burger SOLD IT. 🍔🔥 That’s something I want y’all to pay attention to as you’re creating. A strong commercial doesn’t have to be long. Get in, tell the story, make the product look GOOD and get out! Amazing work, @Bryant Wright Director! 🎬👏🏾 Collective, show him some love in the comments! ❤️🔥

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.

🔥 Just Finished: Ember Steakhouse — 15-Second AI Commercial I just wrapped another fictional brand concept for my UdF Media portfolio. This time I wanted to move away from casual restaurant advertising and see if I could create something that felt like a premium national steakhouse campaign. The concept became Ember Steakhouse. Tagline: Every steak earns the spotlight. Before creating the commercial, I built the world around it: • Ember's brand identity and logo • The restaurant interior • Executive Chef Mateo Navarro • A signature prime ribeye • A five-shot Director's Board • Voiceover and music direction • Individual sound effects and restaurant ambience • UdF Media production end tag The 15-second story follows: Fire → Craftsmanship → The Cut → First Taste → Brand Reveal One thing I'm becoming more intentional about is sound design. Instead of letting music carry everything, I separated the steak hitting the grill, fire, butter basting, knife cutting through the crust, restaurant ambience and other details. Those little sounds made a huge difference in selling the experience. And that's really what I wanted to test with this one: Can you sell the feeling of visiting a restaurant that doesn't actually exist? Ember Steakhouse is fictional. The production is real. I'd appreciate some feedback: Does this feel like a believable luxury steakhouse commercial? And which moment sold the experience best—the fire, baste, cut, first bite, or final hero shot? #AICommercial #AIFilmmaking #RestaurantMarketing #FoodCommercial #CreativeDirection #UdFMedia
