I balance VFX and music production — and the more I work across both, the more I realise how much they have in common. At their core, both come down to composition and layers. Whether I'm building a visual effect or constructing a track, I'm stacking elements, refining them, and shaping something that hits the way I want it to.
Both worlds are colliding more than ever right now, and I'm right in the middle of that intersection.
I've been dipping my toes into the new AI tools — and yeah, they're impressive. But the way I see it, they're exactly that: tools. They work best when they're supporting your own creative vision, not replacing it. The craft still comes from you. The instinct, the taste, the decision of what works and what doesn't — that's still yours.
AI doesn't change what good composition looks like. It just gives you more to work with
