I turned 9 phone stills into a marketing video in under 15 minutes—zero footage, zero excuses. 🚀

Yes, the production quality isn’t Oscar-level.

That’s the point.

📍 Château de Fontainebleau, this past September (it was unseasonably cold).

9 stills on my iPhone.

Grok animated each frame.

DJI Mimo stitched + music.

15 minutes total.

It sounds crazy: “I don’t know where to start.”

I hear that daily from architects.

Here’s the cheat-code:

1️⃣ Shoot vertical stills (rule of thirds - ideal for social)

2️⃣ Feed to Grok → “animate, 3-second loop”

3️⃣ Import to DJI Mimo → auto-transitions

4️⃣ Add royalty-free music (Erik Satie FTW)

5️⃣ Export 9:16 in 4K

Your first video will likely suck. Mine still does.

But the 5th? 10th? 100th? Practice makes perfect.

And if you're too busy you can always hire me. 😉

What’s your #1 excuse for skipping video?
