How I cut an AI film before lunch

Start with the post, not the prompt

The cut has to survive on X. I write the first line of the post before I open a generator. If the sentence is dull, the film will be too.

Generate wide, edit narrow

The generator explores. The edit assembles. I keep one gesture, one light, one claim. Everything else is a deleted take.

Publish where the number is real

The portfolio only stores a thumbnail. The file people argue about stays on X, which is the point.
