My first YouTube experiments were a disaster!
The story was there, but the images clashed.
Sora, Runway, Midjourney — each clip pulling in a different direction. A mess of styles, total chaos. I hated it.
I put my channel to sleep.... For a while.
The breakthrough came when I stripped it down:
– One engine. Midjourney only. Its quirks, its limits — they became the glue.
– Menu logic. I’ve always had a strange affinity for video-game menus. In the lore, everything runs through the Arkhorin Nexus — an Internet on faster-than-light steroids. Framing the videos as an interface suddenly felt right.
– Windows. Small frames to hold the clips. Even if the styles drift, the container keeps them aligned.
Now the whole channel rests on this frame: a living archive of screens and menus, each one opening into the world.
Lesson: coherence beats polish. Once the structure holds, fragments can carry their own life.
