AI video creation tools
Representative of Runway's partnership posts with studios — using Gen-3 for VFX cleanup and background replacement on streaming productions.
“Runway won't replace the DP. It's already the best rotoscoper on the crew.”
CEO, Runway; creative AI video
Representative of Cris's threads on how indie filmmakers use Runway for establishing shots and transitions — generating what used to require a second unit or stock licensing.
“The second unit is now a prompt box. The first unit is still two humans with a camera.”
How to replicate
Prompt template
Shot description: <subject> in <environment>. Camera: <lens, move, height>. Lighting: <time of day, key/fill>. Mood: <one adjective>. Length: 4 seconds. No people in focus. Reference style: <color palette or film>. Generate 4 variants with slight camera-move differences.
Pitfall
Using generated video for anything with a specific recognizable person, logo, or location. That's where hallucinated faces and misrepresentation problems live.
What you'll learn
CEO OpenAI
Representative of Sam's Sora posts — filmmakers producing pre-viz and storyboards in minutes, replacing days of concept-art turnaround.
“Pre-viz used to cost more than the pitch. It's a prompt now.”
Curated examples of practitioners using AI in the wild — builders, sellers, ops leads, teachers, artists. Every entry links to the original post. When we can’t verify a specific URL, we flag the entry as representative rather than inventing one.
Tendril keeps this list conservative on purpose. Entries marked representativedescribe patterns we’ve seen practitioners discuss publicly on X but whose exact URLs we haven’t individually verified. We’d rather flag an example as representative than fabricate a precise post-ID. If you see a wrong attribution or a broken link, tell us and we’ll fix it within the day.
