@PotHolesMovie is currently in development. If you're an Investor and would like to invest in our little movie with a big heart you can email me at jholeton@mindwavestudios.com to get our Production Kit, which includes our Pitch Deck,Style Guide, Budget & Business Plan.

I built a free workflow that gives VFX artists actual control over AI video. Runs locally in @ComfyUI. Full tutorial + Downloads👇

I love open source AI in @ComfyUI because it lets me control every step. For this spaceship shot I tracked the camera, designed layout geometry in Blender, exported depth maps, prompted the final look with an AI image editor, and jumped into Photoshop to clean it all up.

I tried a lot but this is the closest one-shot prompt I was able to build go build it :) 404 Page — One-Shot Recreation Prompt Build a cinematic, multilayer parallax 404 page using Next.js (App Router, "use client"), vanilla CSS, and Phosphor Icons (@phosphor-icons/react). The page uses three provided images — a background, a person, and a hand — layered with giant "404" typography to create a dramatic depth-of-field composition. Rose petals float across the scene. The entire page is fullscreen, overflow hidden, pitch black (#000). Assets Download these images and place them in /public/: Hand (save as hand.webp): i.ibb.co/r2kq5hjd/Gemin… A veiled hand holding a large dark peony/rose, positioned in the lower-left of the frame reaching upward. Right half is empty white. Monochromatic, desaturated. Person (save as person.webp): i.ibb.co/rKk9Tbh0/Gemin… A woman in dark clothing with a gothic ornate crown and sheer dark veil, looking downward. Subject is on the left half, right half is empty white. Monochromatic, desaturated. Background (save as bg.webp): i.ibb.co/PGY8xyh8/Gemin… Extremely dark, near-black atmospheric texture with subtle smoky gradients. Almost void-like. Layer Stack Architecture The composition is a stack of absolutely positioned fullscreen layers inside a single div.layer-container (100vw x 100vh, overflow hidden, background #000). Each layer has position absolute, inset 0, width 100%, height 100%, will-change transform. Z-index layering from back to front: z-index 10 — Background: bg.webp with object-fit cover z-index 20 — Zero "0": Giant white "0" character, behind the person z-index 30 — Person: person.webp, masked with linear-gradient(to right, black 0%, black 65%, transparent 85%) so the white right edge fades out z-index 40 — Left "4": Giant white "4", appears in front of the person z-index 50 — Hand: hand.webp, masked with radial-gradient(ellipse 55% 70% at 33% 55%, black 0%, black 35%, transparent 70%) to isolate the hand/flower z-index 60 — Right "4": Giant white "4", frontmost text layer Critical: The person partially obscures the "0" behind it, while the left "4" floats in front of the person. The hand sits above the left "4", creating complex interleaving where photographic elements and text weave through each other. 404 Typography Font: Futura, Futura PT, Century Gothic, sans-serif Weight: 500 (medium) Size: clamp(12rem, 26vw, 28rem) — massive, screen-filling Color: Pure white #fff Vertical stretch: transform scaleY(1.04) Line-height: 1 Absolute positioning per character: Left "4" — left 35.3%, top 39% "0" — left 48%, top 38.9% Right "4" — left 60.4%, top 38.9% Text shadows for depth: Left "4": 6px 6px 25px rgba(0,0,0,0.8), 0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.5) "0": 6px 6px 28px rgba(0,0,0,0.8), 0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,0.5) Right "4": 0 10px 45px rgba(0,0,0,0.9), 0 4px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.7), -6px 6px 30px rgba(0,0,0,0.5) Mouse-Driven Parallax Effect On mousemove, normalize cursor to (-1 to +1). Apply lerped translate3d transforms (ease 0.12) per layer: "0" — multiplier x2 (subtle) Person — multiplier x4 Right "4" — multiplier x5 Left "4" — multiplier x7 Hand — multiplier x12 (most dramatic) Use requestAnimationFrame. Store interpolated values in a mutable ref. Use translate3d(Xpx, Ypx, 0) for GPU compositing. 3D Rose Petal Simulator A separate PetalSimulator component spawning 40 CSS-only petal divs via raw DOM manipulation (no React state per petal): Size: 20-35px x 25-45px, organic teardrop border-radius (4 shape variants) Color: radial-gradient with randomized deep crimson HSL (hue 340-355, sat 85-100%, lightness 35-50%) Motion: drift diagonally bottom-right with sine-wave wind sway + 3D tumble (rotateX/Y/Z) Opacity: 0.4 to 0.7 (semi-transparent) Respawn off-screen-top when exiting viewport Initial spread across full viewport on load Container: z-index 50, pointer-events none Performance: No filter blur, no box-shadow. Only will-change transform + translate3d. UI Overlay Position fixed, inset 0, z-index 200, pointer-events none (buttons get pointer-events auto). All text uses Futura. All icons use Phosphor Icons — weight light for UI, weight fill for social. Top-left (28px, 32px) — List icon size 22, menu button Top-center — "B&Y" logo (22px, weight 600, spacing 6px) + "YOUR · GOAL · TRAINER" subtitle (7px, 50% opacity) Top-right (28px, 32px) — MagnifyingGlass, User, ShoppingCart icons with 16px gap Left-center — "BACK" vertical text (writing-mode vertical-rl, 10px, 50% opacity) Right-center — "HOME" vertical text (same style) Bottom-left (28px, 32px) — House, SlidersHorizontal icons Bottom-center — 3 dots (6px, first at 80% opacity, rest 40%) Bottom-right (28px, 32px) — XLogo, FacebookLogo, InstagramLogo (fill weight) Top 32%, left 62% — "BACK HOME" button, 16px Futura 500, spacing 5px, 1px border rgba(255,255,255,0.4), padding 18px 48px Performance Rules All layers use will-change transform and translate3d, never translate() No filter on any animated element No box-shadow on any animated element Petals use raw DOM, not React state Images use next/image with fill, priority, sizes 100vw CSS masks use both -webkit-mask-image and mask-image Stack Next.js App Router, TypeScript, "use client", next/image, Vanilla CSS, @phosphor-icons/react

Who is Devendra Chaplot? -> This Chap is a cracked engineer coming all the way from India -> Did his computer science engineering from IIT Bombay along with a minor in Applied Statistics in 2014 (why not) -> Worked at Samsung Electronics HQ as a Research Associate -> Interned at Apple for another year doing AI Research as an intern -> Joined as a research intern at Facebook in 2018 but became their Lead AI Scientist by 2020 -> Then casually went on to join Mistral as their AI Research Scientist (founding team member) in 2023 - leading and creating some crazy LLMs like Mistral 7B, Mistral 8x7B, Mistral 12B -> Then he headed the research at Thinking Machine Labs (FYI this is Mira Murati's startup) - building frontier AI systems Oh and did I mention, the Chap also complete his PhD from Carnegie Mellon University on the side while working as a Research Intern at Apple and Facebook. Yep, he seems like a regular guy from India - now trying to build superintelligence at xAI.

Error Rates greatly reduced (15.3%->4.9%) for numbers, symbols, and technical phrases Stability improved by 72%

I'm joining SpaceX and xAI, working closely with Elon and team to build superintelligence. Together SpaceX and xAI combine physical and digital intelligence under a leader who understands hardware at the deepest level. Add a high-agency culture with frontier-scale resources, and you get the possibility to achieve something truly unique. I’m excited to advance the fields I’ve obsessed over for years, from robotics research to building AI models on the founding teams of Mistral and TML. Both were extraordinary journeys with extraordinary people that shaped how I think about building intelligence from the ground up. Grateful for everything that brought me here and can’t wait to get started.

@MaxynMkt @PotHolesMovie Hi Maxyn, how are you? Sorry, I didn't see your comment until now, 2026. No, I haven't thought of TikTok for @PotHolesMovie. That's a good idea.

@JonathanHoleton @PotHolesMovie Have you tried sharing to Tiktok? I can help if you’re open to a collab! This kind would go viral!

How @Netflix got mad because I wouldn’t hand over my prompts for FREE - A thread ⤵️ A Netflix AI division asked me to do a free test for a potential job. I usually refuse free tests because free doesn't pay bills, but being Netflix I said why not, it may be a good opportunity.

Scattering is one of Dash's biggest strengths, yet many users never explore the power of using several scatter tools in the same setup. This approach allows you to create far more complex procedural environments, like these cliffs, directly inside UE5. Let us know below if you want us to share a full scattering tutorial.

Today we announced a partnership with @warnermusic to develop professional-grade tools that enable artists, songwriters, and producers to experiment, compose, and produce using ethically trained models. Our work together will unlock new forms of creative expression while protecting creators’ rights and opening new pathways for revenue. You can learn more about our partnership here 👉 bit.ly/3LIwiA9
