Exploring AI through video, visuals, marketing, creative strategy, and the tools redefining content, business, and culture. By @stephenchip

Two weeks in Japan. Hundreds of photos. One creative rabbit hole I couldn’t resist going down.

Last year, I created a song as an experiment. I wanted to blend Japanese and English lyrics and see what kind of mood it would create. It turned into something atmospheric and different from anything I’d done before.

Then my wife and I spent two incredible weeks in Japan late last year, and the experience stuck with me. Seeing the temples, shrines, and local shops while my wife and I wandered around Kyoto left a lasting impression. When I got back, I realized that the song needed a visual story.

So I decided to build a full music video around it.

I started by fleshing out the concept and writing a shot list like a real production. Then the fun began. What’s interesting is that many of the locations you see in the video actually started as photos I took while my wife and I wandered around Kyoto. Those images served as the foundation for the environments later generated and brought to life with AI.

It was a fascinating, creative process. Part music creation, part photography, part storytelling, and part AI experimentation.

Tools used in the process:

Higgsfield - (@higgsfield)
Nano Banana Pro – for image generation
Midjourney (@midjourney) – for additional image creation
Google VEO3 (@FlowbyGoogle) – for video generation
Kling AI 3.0 (@Kling_ai) for video generation
Final Cut Pro (@Apple) – for editing
Suno (@suno) – for song generation

Amazing how far the creative toolset has come. If you have an idea in your head, you can now actually build it!

Take a minute to watch Rain + Light (雨と光) and tell me what stood out to you. Would love to hear your feedback.

Looking forward to giving this a spin!

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?

I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev

• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions

AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

@ryancarson I see the black website and instantly think AI slop. 😂

All jokes aside, this looks and sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!

@carlmonkft Curious why you put the $ at the end of the number instead of the beginning — $100.

@carlmonkft Did you sign up for Apple's small business developer program? Reduces the 30% to 15% on apps.
