AI Creativity Chronicles​ Weekly AI Tips to Spark Your Marketing Mojo

This week, as usual, I’ve been swimming in the fast current of AI creativity — and I brought back 4 juicy discoveries worth sharing.

From a $500 one-person sci-fi film to the definition of entrepreneurial journalism to a free guide to AI video production, each of these discoveries illustrates how AI can accelerate creativity (without replacing it).

Scroll down and enjoy the ride…

🎬 Kira — 1 Creator, $500, Big Bang

The short sci-fi film Kira blew me away — not just because it looks cinematic and delivers a meaningful message with nuance and original songs(!), but because it was made by one person on a $500 budget, in his spare time!

Of course, the creator, Hashem Al-Ghaili is talented (yes, there’s a very creative human in the loop). But AI gave him the leverage to turn his imagination into something that normally takes much more significant resources.

And it’s 100% certain that this is the worst AI we’ll ever have.

📰 Entrepreneurial Journalism: The Importance of Owning Your Media

I got inspired this week by Alexa Phillips and her 2-part TikTok mini-series on entrepreneurial journalism. Her core idea: stop building on rented land. It’s not a new concept, but the “journalism” reframe gives it new meaning. Bottom line, this is a great reminder to create and control your own media channels — newsletters, podcasts, video series vs being overly dependent on social media. (Fingers crossed, I’m working on having Alexa as a guest on Video Mojo.)

🎥 New Video Mojo Episode with Rick McCawley

The brand new episode of Video Mojo is a verbal jam session with Pulitzer-recognized photographer and veteran educator Rick McCawley. Together, we explore how AI can be understood and appreciated — not just as disruption, but as a vehicle for building a better world.

🎁 Free Find of the Week

I stumbled on a valuable free video resource The Complete AI Filmmaking Guide with Google Veo 3. It’s worth bookmarking if you’re experimenting with your own creative AI video production workflows.

✨ Closing Thought

Whether it’s a brilliant solo AI video filmmaker or a shift in how we publish our creative content — the pattern is clear:

AI is fuel for our creativity. It doesn’t do the work for us, but it does open doors that were previously a very heavy lift.

Today, Apple will give us its official future with its keynote. Meanwhile, here’s an alternate future — one that feels even more revealing.

Filmmaker Simon Meyer created a spec ad for the iPhone 17 Pro — a phone that doesn’t exist — using AI tools and a very clever, forward-thinking, and very human sense of humor. 🤣

Why does this video work so well? Because only the truth is funny.

In this case, it’s the truth about where we seem to be heading:

• He’s staged photos of events that haven’t happened yet.
• He made his “mother” the star of UGC-style ads.
• He’s pulling back the layers on a rapidly evolving AI-powered future. 📡

The takeaway is a glimpse of how creative humans + AI can bend reality, educate, and entertain, all at the same time! 🤯

Why Does This Matter?

It’s NOT about machines making ads. 🤖

It’s about humans 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 daring to imagine what doesn’t exist — and using AI to make it visible.

That’s what I call creative chutzpah. 🔥

And it’s exactly the kind of bold play that will shape the future that we want. At least, I hope so. 🙏

So here’s the humbly human call to action:

Don’t wait for Apple’s keynote to tell you what’s next.
Make your own.
