AI tools can be powerful creative partners—but let’s be real, they’re unpredictable. If you’ve ever tried generating AI content, you know that what you envision doesn’t always match what you get. It takes patience, iteration, and a mix of tools to bridge that gap between concept and final creation.

In this episode of AI for the Creative Mind, we dive deep into the messy yet exciting reality of AI-driven content production. I’ll walk you through my personal AI challenge project—creating a one-minute trailer with AI-generated assets. From designing characters in MidJourney and DALL-E to layering animations in Luma and refining everything in CapCut, you’ll hear firsthand how AI requires more than just a single perfect prompt. It’s about breaking down the process, adapting when things don’t go as planned, and strategically combining AI tools to achieve your creative vision.

Along the way, I’ll share key lessons on:
✔️ Why AI doesn’t always “get it right” on the first try
✔️ How to guide AI tools for better results
✔️ The role of manual refinement in AI-assisted projects
✔️ How evolving AI tools like Luma and Runway are changing the game
