The final fight scene with @ryann.ananta from our latest film received so much love, so we decided to release the extended version as a Director’s Cut.
Enjoy watching.
A huge thank you to @openart_ai and Director Mode.
What if the creature destined to destroy you is also the one fated to protect you?
For Helen, a relentless snowstorm marks the end of everything she thought she knew. Thrust into a hidden realm of dragon shifters, ancient legends, and secret wars, she soon learns that nothing is as it seems. At the center of this dangerous new world stands Kaim her guardian, a powerful being as frightening as he is irresistible.
Drawn together by an undeniable bond, Helen and Kaim find themselves caught in a forbidden passion that defies every rule. But in a world ruled by destiny and betrayal, their love could either become her greatest strength… or lead them both to ruin.
OpenArt just launched The Director and it honestly feels like vibe directing to me!
I’m not writing prompts anymore.
I’m directing.
With OpenArt Director, I start with an idea and then talk to the AI the way I would talk to a film crew: adjusting the mood, changing camera angles, rewriting scenes, adding details, and evolving the story in real time. My experience was amazing I love this!
Every decision unlocks a new creative possibility.
The most impressive part? I don’t have to start over every time. I can build, refine, and perfect my vision within a single conversation.
It feels less like using an AI generator and more like directing a film that exists only in my imagination.
And once you experience it, going back to traditional prompting feels impossible.
Not long ago, creating an animated series like this would have required a team of artists, animators, and months of production. Today, I can build my own cinematic world in a completely different way.
While creating Flower Academy, I started using @openart_ai Director, and it genuinely changed how I approach storytelling. Instead of writing endless prompts, you're having a conversation with the creative process itself. You direct scenes through chat, refine characters, shape the atmosphere, and watch an entire world evolve scene by scene.
I kept calling it vibe directing because that's honestly what it felt like. You're not just prompting. You're vibe directing your way through the story.
What surprised me most was how natural the process became. Rather than assembling clips or constantly rewriting prompts, I was directing through conversation, making creative decisions in context, and building a consistent world around my characters. It felt less like using software and more like working inside a creative environment designed for storytelling.
Every flower-lined path, every classroom, and every character in Flower Academy was shaped through this process. Once I started working with Director, I realized I wasn't thinking about video generation anymore - I was simply vibe directing the world I wanted to create.
Flower Academy is only the beginning. More adventures, new characters, and even more floral magic are coming soon. 🌷✨
I’ve tested a lot of AI creative workflows, but this one feels different.
Instead of prompting a video and hoping for the best, you’re actually directing through conversation. You describe a scene, react to what comes back, refine the story, adjust the mood, and keep building inside a single creative environment.
Honestly, it feels like vibe directing.
The finished cinematic output is impressive, but the real magic is the chat experience. Watching an idea evolve through back-and-forth conversation feels much closer to directing than prompting. And when you want more control, you can jump into the timeline, refine individual shots, and let the system intelligently rebuild the sequence around your edits.
For anyone interested in agentic creative workflows, multimodal reasoning, long-context storytelling, and what AI-native filmmaking might look like, this is worth checking out.
I tested OpenArt Director by creating a short Western where my dad became the hero of the story, a father’s day gift to someone who loves Western’s. What I found most interesting wasn’t the final film—it was the process.
Director feels less like prompting and more like what I keep calling vibe directing. You start with an idea, chat with the system, build characters, explore environments, and gradually shape a story through conversation. I often use chatGPT to discuss character and environment options and then later prompts that fit my shot list. Director has this all built into one place.
For me, the biggest strengths were:
Character creation and character sheets
Environment and world building
Brainstorming story ideas and scenes
Generating moments I could later pull into a script
Director was a useful jumping-off point for developing ideas and visualizing scenes.
This Western started as a simple concept and turned into a fun cinematic experiment.
Curious what other filmmakers think about this shift toward vibe directing versus traditional prompting. @openart_ai

Jim Carrey is known for making people laugh, but longtime fans know he has another side: he’s a genuine metal fan.
Over the years, Carrey has spoken openly about his love for heavy music, and moments like this show just how much he enjoys it. The same fearless energy, intensity, and unpredictability that made him one of comedy’s biggest stars seem to come alive whenever the riffs start playing.
It’s a reminder that great art often comes from the same place, whether it’s comedy, acting, or metal music: complete commitment, passion, and not caring what anyone else thinks.
Capybaras are often called the friendliest animals on Earth, and their behavior helps explain why. 🦫💚 As the world’s largest rodents, they are highly social creatures that live in groups, forming strong bonds through grooming, resting, and spending time together.
In the wild, staying close to the group provides protection from predators, but it also creates a cooperative social structure where individuals rely on one another. Their calm and tolerant nature allows them to coexist with a surprising variety of other animals, from birds and monkeys to turtles and even crocodilians.
This relaxed temperament has made capybaras famous around the world. Whether they’re lounging in the water or sharing space with other species, they’ve earned a reputation as some of the most easygoing and sociable animals in nature. 🌿✨
Released in 2013 on AM, Do I Wanna Know? became one of Arctic Monkeys’ biggest songs and helped introduce the band to an entirely new global audience.
Built around one of the most recognizable guitar riffs of the modern era, the track combines bluesy grooves, hypnotic production, and Alex Turner’s signature songwriting to create a song that feels instantly familiar from the very first note. The slow-burning intro became a defining sound of the 2010s and remains a highlight of the band’s live shows.
In a kitchen somewhere in the future of the past, a stunning housewife tests her brand-new food enlarger machine. At first, everything goes perfectly. A giant tomato leaves even the robot cooks speechless.
Then she tries a second tomato, but this time the machine malfunctions.
Seconds later, she finds herself towering above the luxurious retrofuturist suburbs, desperately trying not to step on anyone's house while embarrassed hover cars scatter below. Fortunately, the neighborhood's security robots have dealt with this sort of thing before.
Or at least they claim they have.

Shoutout to OpenArt for giving me early access to their newest feature "OpenArt Director", which I experimented with for certain parts of this video.
One of the most talked-about moments in the Netflix documentary Behind the Curve involves an experiment using a highly sensitive Ring Laser Gyroscope (RLG). 🔬 An RLG is a precision instrument used in aviation and spacecraft navigation to detect extremely small changes in rotation and orientation.
In the film, Bob Knodel and his team reportedly observed a steady rotational drift of about 15 degrees per hour—consistent with the expected rotation of Earth itself. The result was especially striking because it came from equipment capable of measuring minute physical changes with high accuracy.
The moment gained attention not because of the device, but because of what it represents in science: data can sometimes challenge personal expectations. It serves as a reminder that experiments are designed to test assumptions, and unexpected results are often where the most valuable insights begin. 🌍
More than just a film, Trainspotting became a cultural phenomenon and helped introduce millions of people to electronic music.
Its most iconic musical moment came with Underworld’s Born Slippy .NUXX, a track that was originally released as a B-side before finding a new life through the film. The combination of Danny Boyle’s unforgettable final scene and Underworld’s hypnotic, euphoric anthem created one of the most powerful music-and-film pairings ever captured on screen.
What looks like a simple set of rollers is actually a machine designed to give old construction steel a second life. 🏗️⚙️ Rebar straightening machines are used to process bent reinforcement bars recovered from demolition sites, pulling them through a series of rollers that gradually return them to a straight, usable shape.
Many models can also remove surface rust and prepare the steel for reuse, helping construction companies reduce waste and lower material costs. By recovering steel that might otherwise be scrapped, these machines play an important role in making construction more efficient and sustainable.
However, straightening steel doesn’t completely erase the effects of previous stress. Every time metal is bent, it experiences structural changes that can affect its strength. That’s why recovered rebar is typically inspected and evaluated before being reused in new projects. 🔩🌍
Released on All Hope Is Gone in 2008, Snuff became one of the most emotional and unexpected songs in Slipknot’s catalog.
Instead of relying on crushing riffs and aggression, the song focuses on heartbreak, betrayal, and the lasting impact of losing someone you love. Corey Taylor’s vulnerable vocal performance gives the lyrics an honesty that feels deeply personal, turning the song into a reflection on pain, acceptance, and emotional scars that don’t easily fade.
