AI, Creativity, and the Art of Not Falling Off the Face of the Earth
Whoa, Steph—did you disappear?
No, no I did not. But I get it; I’ve been a little quiet. That’s not an excuse, just the reality of being fully immersed in some exciting projects. I’ve been keeping active on LinkedIn, but beyond that, a lot has been happening behind the scenes.
For starters, I was swooped up by a well-known brand and have been working full-time on content creation for them—an incredibly rewarding experience. But what’s been even more thrilling? Taking a deep dive into building creative production workflows with AI.
I’ve been exploring everything from LLM creation and integration to advanced workflows in image, video, and audio generation—not to mention tackling the ever-present legal and ethical considerations of AI-driven content. It’s been an intense, eye-opening ride, and honestly, I’m still learning (because who isn’t, in this fast-moving space?).
AI Workflow Breakdown: Inpainting with ComfyUI
One of the more recent technical challenges I tackled was an inpaint workflow using Sebastian Kamph’s ComfyUI setup.
For an ad commercial I’m working on, I started with a single image in Kling AI, intending to animate an arm raising to touch an invisible surface. The first round of video generations? Not quite there—something felt off in the movement and transition.
So, I turned to ComfyUI and ran an inpaint workflow. I masked out the raised arm while regenerating the background using my Flux checkpoint, ensuring a seamless first frame. This, combined with a second frame, provided a much cleaner, more controlled input for Kling’s video generation.
By refining and strategically feeding Kling with better-structured frames, I’m pushing for greater motion consistency and creative control—because honestly, bending AI to my will is half the fun. 😎
Stay tuned for more deep dives into my AI-driven creative process. I’ll be sharing more insights, workflows, and the occasional existential crisis about AI and creativity.
Check out my new GenAI page featuring a spec ad I created using AI as part of my creative workflow. Blending innovation with storytelling—this one’s worth a look.
