Why join if you have mastered ai filmmaking? I think this where most fail to understand what is happening. People are given superpowers and the most capable will absolutely will not be joining studios. The only reason I can think of is, if they want to work on a given ip.
AI filmmakers are one of the MOST in-demand people in the creative industry right now. This is the dilemma right now.
There are NOT enough AI filmmakers, partly because being really good at editing, cinematography, AND actual AI skills is a LOT to master. The very best AI filmmakers are very rare.
There are 6 entities that are hunting for them, causing a squeeze in the job market:
> Big studios - want to hire AI filmmakers for experimental and research projects
> AI studios - they’re experiencing demand for their own projects and clients and need AI filmmakers to train and work on those projects
> AI tool companies - want to hire AI creative directors and filmmakers to showcase their tools
> AI streamers - who want to fill up their catalog with AI content
> Ad Agencies - nobody cares if an ad is made with AI. Agencies are training up their own people to do AI to cost save on ads and…
> Brands - are demanding quicker, cheaper, and more variety and since it’s so easy, they’re also hiring to tinker and even shorten feedback timelines
While one side of the creative industry is losing jobs, demand in this industry is exploding and not abating. AI skills are very easy to learn but VERY hard to master.
I laugh when I see people in holding their laptops half open so their Claude Code doesn't shut off
All my projects run on a @Hetzner_Online VPS with Claude Code installed next to the sites/apps that I work on and I just SSH in with @TermiusHQ and it keeps going forever even if I disconnect (I use Mosh or Tmux or I just /resume)
My MacBook Pro battery life is also much better as everything happens on the server not my laptop
I work so incredibly fast now, it's like having a secret benefit over everyone else who are still AI coding on a laptop, then deploying to their server, while their battery life dies and they can never close their laptop
And whenever I want I can just switch to Termius on my iPhone and continue working!
My workflow is literally: I have a bug or feature, I open Termius, I type it in the project tab, it fixes it, every fix it auto commits to GitHub but it doesn't actually deploy from there anymore because it's editing the site on the server live
I don't recommend that to everyone, but I do recommend getting a VPS you can code from and then use as staging and test and deploy from there to your production server
just shipped the first @openclaw you can trust and it takes literally zero set-up
it connects to all of ur fav apps securely through OAuth: Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Slack, GitHub, HubSpot, Linear... literally everything.
> no leaking ur passwords
> no dangerous community plugins
> no mac mini
i threw in some free anthropic credits so go try it :)
In the last few days I got the max plan. I created a local whisper app, prompts privacy first. I also now have my tmux sessions running on my phone, so I can control agents in my mac-vm and deploy ad-hoc iPhone builds, skipping testFlight. All of this outside my reg 9to5 🤯
