This is what I'm watching right now...

Note: I think this is one of the better series ideas I've had, so far. In my opinion, it feels catchier than the others. This series will take people from getting online with a budget or while traveling to diving into the world of domains, learning what they are, what they can do, how to manage them, how to develop them, market them, list them for sale, evaluation methodologies and more. Each season will open the doors to a new realm of the domain industry.

Today, I started with Season 1 - episode 1, dedicated to getting started with the very first internet connection on a shoe-string budget.

Enjoy!

Hi Eric! This is really creative and nicely done.

Just curious, what tools did you use to make this? AI video tools, animation software, or a mix of both?

Thanks,

I listed the tools/models i use in the first post credits:

there's a learning curve with each tool/model, as each requires a different set of Methodologies.

Even the way you communicate with each model to provide instruction is different, as one won't understand the prompt triggers of the other.

There's times I knock out a 10 to 20 second clip on the first try and other times, it takes 12 renderings, tweaking prompts and model variables to get it right.

Depending on your processor, graphics card, HD, etc... it tosses another wrench in the mix you have to fine tune all the tools/models to work with.

When I first started learning, a 5 second rendering took 1 and a half hours. After months of learning hands on, I've tweaked my models and prompts to output 20 second renderings in 19 to 30 minutes (if all goes smooth on the first take).

Most times, its not 1 take though and I have to retake 2 to 5 times on average before I get a clip worth keeping.

And that's not counting my creative time (character creation, script writing, choreography, scene creations, research, additional learning, image editing and refinement, etc.)

At the end of the day, I still feel like my $2k rendering box investment is saving me a ton of money versus using a paid credit/subscription platform that charges for every edit.

Not to mention, using my own internal rendering box, keeps all my work private (not logged on anyone else's servers) and i don't have any restrictions you run into with credit based models that don't allow nudity, violence, etc... I'm not capped using my own inhouse unit. I don't think i would ever want to get into the adult porn industry, but I did test the possibility once out of curiosity and the results were pretty good.

No caps means I could even do horror films with bloody kill scenes, if i wanted to. Not sure about that either, though.

P.s. My Nvidia GTX 5060 w/8gb vRam was too small of a starting choice (But affordable for learning).. still works, but I should have started with a bigger, more robust, commercialized graphics card. I'll need to upgrade that once my rendering box finishes paying for itself.

Good work. Thanks for sharing.

Anytime! Lots more to come...

Stay tuned!

You can see more of the different video series and audio/music videos on YouTube, X, and TikTok (I'm now rolling campaigns on all three platforms to generate more domain industry exposure) - alternately, you can find them shared on namePros using the video or audio prefix to sort a search.
