Who is the Build page for?

It is for brands, agencies, studios, production companies, and creative teams that need practical AI tools, internal systems, and image or video engines rather than generic AI advice.

What kinds of AI tools does Mike Staniforth build?

Why does cinematography experience matter for AI tools?

Cinematography experience helps translate AI output into usable shot language, lighting logic, continuity, production judgement, and commercial delivery standards.

What gets built?

Practical systems: AI video workflow tools, review dashboards, asset reuse, image and video engines, prompt/reference interfaces, publishing loops, and reporting.
