I’ve spent the past years testing how AI can add real value to creative work. One of my experiments was training a LORA model on my own photos to generate still images of me in different poses and settings. I sequenced the stills into short animations, extended frames to create movement, and refined everything with a quick edit, motion tweaks, and color work. The soundtrack came from Suno AI using a short prompt.
The result wasn’t flawless. There were glitches. It still felt powerful to direct and produce a video of myself on a laptop with almost no budget. The speed of progress is intense and the shift in creative work is clear. I learned that patient iteration matters, strong datasets improve results, every tool has limits, and clear direction prevents bad outputs.
