“We Become What We Behold. We Shape Our Tools, and Thereafter Our Tools Shape Us.”
~ Marshall McLuhan
As a lifelong creative, photographer, and filmmaker, I have surfed every analog to digital wave. I closely observe now how generative Ai is rapidly replacing traditional production and modulating my skill set. I find it a perfect tool for early brainstorming, visualizing, idea testing, all with rapid iterative feedback.
Currently, there is a lot of apprehension regarding Ai and robots replacing human value, but as a creative director, it simply feels like a new superpower, amplifying the skills learned from a lifetime of creative tool-using.
How the Danish go bananas*
Cinematic narrative experiments.
I have also been experimenting with it in development of an historical, esoteric epic series that I have wanted to make for years. Ai has suddenly put this impossible project within reach.
BLAVATSKY IS BEAUTIFUL
A strong female 19th century superheroine; she is aspirational, infinitely capable, highly skilled, resourceful, defiant, mysterious & fashionable, with a wicked sense of humor. She is a woman of a thousand faces; a linguist, savant, horsewoman, world traveler, fighter, healer, concert pianist, archaeologist, philosopher, yogi, psychic, spy, mentalist, manipulator, shaman, sorceress and daredevil all in one.
Telling her story as a high adventure mystery produces an attractive modern vehicle to transport contemporary audiences with her through daring exploits and exotic discoveries. The true story of Blavatsky and her solo world travels from ages 17 - 45 can only be experienced across years through a multiple season episodic saga taking us with her, to slowly uncover her mystical message.
