@jason_swet Art Direct Your Space like the movies! For me, this mindset pushes me to go for it a bit more. To be a little braver and bolder. Looks better on camera, but also feels more fun in-person. Just send it! But also, you don’t have to spend a ton! There are so many ways to DIY on a budget and get the same cinematic impact. Many trips to @The Home Depot are in the future! (So yes, let’s collab!) 👀

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Philosophical DIY

Reframing a common activity through a novel, aspirational philosophy to justify and document a practical, hands-on solution.

  1. 1

    The Provocative Thesis & Justification

    The creator introduces a novel philosophy, qualifies their unique perspective (e.g., 'I'm an X, not a Y'), and explains the core benefit of adopting this new mindset.

  2. 2

    The External Validation

    To build credibility, the creator references external sources—like other creators, film scenes, or established concepts—that support the initial thesis.

  3. 3

    The Aspirational Benchmark

    Visually establishes the ideal, often expensive or difficult-to-attain, version of the goal. This sets a high standard and creates desire.

  4. 4

    The Practical Pivot

    The creator introduces a real-world constraint (e.g., budget, skill) that makes the aspirational goal unattainable, then pivots to a more accessible, hands-on alternative.

  5. 5

    The Transformation Montage

    A dynamic sequence showing the process and effort of executing the practical solution, building anticipation for the final result.

  6. 6

    The Aesthetic Identity

    The creator defines the specific style of their solution using cultural touchstones and references, giving the project a unique personality and connecting with a niche audience.

    ART DIRECT YOUR SPACE

Transcript

I think you could treat your home more like a film set. I'm an art director, not an interior designer, but my theory is if you try to make a space more worthy of a film project, you'll end up with a space you enjoy more even if you don't shoot content in it. One of my favorite creators, Patrick Tommaso, was pointing out how overlooked yes production design is. I want my own space to feel lived in, to not only light the space, but art direct the space no the camera can move around and utilize different corners. I'm nowhere near that, but to start, I've always wanted this style of designer track shelves. There's a utility feel to them. They're super expensive though. So instead, I went to Home Depot to build it all myself. And that way, I could afford to cover the whole wall. I feel like my vision right now is sorta Tom Sachs utility crossed with the warmth of mister Rogers for mid career creatives or mister Yes Up for my Canadians. But, yeah, the more I think about this space as a film set, the more excited I get to go a little bolder. What do you think? Do you wanna feel like you're living in a movie?
