One of my fondest memories was lying in front of the family black and white tv when I was maybe 10 years old watching movies. Godzilla and the mayhem caused by an angry giant lizard, by Ishiro Honda, was a favorite. The Voyages of Sinbad with all of its Claymation astounded me. Yet, it was watching John Boorman’s Excalibur, that I was elevated to another spectator level. The combination of live action, Wagner’s music score, and the personal drama of the knights as told by this generations greatest actors struggling to hold up to an humanistic ideal, left such an indelible mark on me, that it effects me to this day.

“Any man who would be a knight and follow a King, follow me.”

Focused in reality, it never dawned on my that I could be part of the movie industry and instead I would pursue a career in the more prosaic of life. With the launch of RunwayML, I intend to make up for that failure to see beyond what was immediately before me. With my unlimited amount of lore to draw from as I create worlds in the Arcane Isles, I am using RunwayML to turn my words and ideas into movies. Movies, that hopefully, you will enjoy.

Thank you for your time and patience with me as I explore the greatest nation of all; Imagination.

Check out the Youtube Page when you can, I am trying to add materials every month onto it. And, hopefully, getting better each time.

Side Note: These are not complete movies. I am building out my dataset of film shots to assemble into a complete story line. So, think of these as works in progress as I test music scores, prompt engineering, and camera angles and techniques. You have to crawl before you can fly as they say…

I think the 1950’s was an amazing period in movie production and I pay homage to that period here:

I am learning the various camera shots that are taken for granted in movie production and learning to use the RunwayML software:.

I am enthralled with the relaxation of ASMR videos and I am trying to get the knack of them here:

RunwayML hosts an AI movie festival, and with about 3 hours practice and watching how do videos, I created this snippet. So impressed with what I could, with so little practice, I promptly entered into their AI Film Festival for 2025 competition:

Using ChatGPT, I am creating many images and then affix them to music (I am trying to be copyright correct). Here I use the Tolkien inspired song, “Where There’s a Whip, (There’s a Way), with music by Clamavi De Profundis:
