Picture it: Omaha, yesterday, coffee number two.
I’m cruising one of my favorite software deal sites (you know the one, the place where software goes to cost twelve dollars) and I spot a shiny AI video tool. Past RJ would have slapped down a credit card before the page finished loading. This time I asked Claude a dangerous question instead: “Could we just... build this ourselves?”
Grasshopper. We built it. The video above is proof.
By dinnertime there was a whole movie studio living on my laptop. Script, storyboard, animated characters from my own tavern, a lute soundtrack, snarky subtitles, end credits. (My dog Ranger is listed as Best Boy. Because he is.)
I keep side-eyeing my own computer. I directed the whole thing and part of me still doesn’t believe it.
And hey. If watching a non-coder conjure a film studio out of thin air sounds like your kind of weird, come hang out with me. I also teach a class showing entrepreneurs how to work with AI.
More to come, darlings. Enjoy.
