Crazy that it’s already August and I’m only now getting this out to you. This year’s been a blur, a mix of chasing new business, looking after the loyal clients who’ve stuck around, and diving into some completely new kinds of projects. And truthfully, the scene’s been moving so fast, it’s been hard to even pick the right moment to jump in and share.

So, here it is. Think of this as a quick window into my creative world: the latest tools I’m experimenting with, prompts and styles I’ve been testing, and techniques I’m using to pull sharper, bolder, more cinematic images and videos out of mainstream
AI tools.

So, why the cost?
Because this takes time and truthfully, I get paid to do this sort of thinking on a regular basis. This is let’s say a mix of the creativity and business, unfiltered. With the Creative Field Notes, you’re getting an exclusive look behind the curtain: how I work, what tools I’m using, what I’m reading, watching, bookmarking, and how all of that shapes the work I do.
