Joined VIP to get in a room that no longer seems to exist, but the Skool sales page for Clief Notes still advertises it. I can imagine Jake is getting invited to work with some pretty impressive clientele, and I'm genuinely happy about that. If there is a transition taking place, I would be grateful if you guys would help set our expectations.

Anthropic posted a reel today of one of their designers showing off their workflow for working with Claude Slides. But I fell in love with the little room graphic, and had to make it my own! More to come on this for sure! 🫡

I took a hand-drawn dragon reel I loved (animation by Karlotta Freier, on IG) and tried to rebuild the *style* using only code: no AI image or video generation, no hand animation. The dragon, the story and the music are our own; her reel was the bar to measure against. Here's how it came out: https://youtu.be/hPW_uHlBakI What I learned: 1. Threejs can be use for animation 2. Side-by-side with the reference helps with consistency 3. Credit the creator, make the thing yours. It took 8 versions to get here, and it's still not her level. That gap is the lesson. 📅 I'm back this Saturday for Vibe Film Session 4, 2:30–4:30 PM MT, same Zoom link as always. We'll get into memory: how to keep your character, props and world consistent across every shot. https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/vibe-film-saturday-sept-5-430-pm-et?p=dd094a57 What's one thing you've tried to copy recently that turned out harder than it looked? Throw it in here and I might use it in the session!

We just crossed 50,000 members 🎉. Today. Not a projection. Not a “coming soon” slide. That number broke because Jake showed up with ICM and actually shipped it into a room that doesn’t treat people like leads. The welcome here isn’t a drip sequence. It’s people answering questions, sharing the folder, and sticking around after the first win. Most communities rent attention. This one compounds it. Jake’s ICM didn’t land in a vacuum - it landed in a stack that already preferred transparent workflows over vendor theater. Members didn’t just buy. They stayed, tested, and pulled the next person in. From empty chairs to a milestone that pays people back. Stop chasing the next shiny cohort. Start owning the room that keeps grinding after the launch email dies. If you’re in, say what you got out of it. If you’re watching, the door’s still open.

Hopefully all of us here are past this, but I still feel obligated to make a reminder when I start to see things like what I reacted to in this video. So many people are still on the vicious cycle of drifting to every new release out there and spending more time on the news cycle than curating their own context layers. Focus on yours and your own expertise. Not what specific tool you are using. Your journey will lead you to what you actually need along the way.
