Should you favor quantity or quality ? The creative industry is undergoing a major shift: quality is taking a backseat to volume. The relentless demand for more content on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube has pushed brands to focus on producing content at scale. But here’s the challenge—this shift is largely being driven by AI, and it’s raising some critical questions. AI-powered tools are helping brands churn out content faster than ever. But in the rush to meet demand, quality is often sacrificed. Automated algorithms prioritize trends and engagement over originality and depth, creating a flood of content that’s optimized to “stop the scroll” but often lacks genuine creativity or substance. This volume-first, AI-driven approach is reshaping creativity itself—and not always for the better. The question remains: are we losing the authenticity and human connection that makes creative work impactful in the name of speed and quantity? This is not an AI video, it's been made with #houdini and rendered on Render Network Foundation

Screen format is important for advertising and marketing Nowadays we consume content mostly on vertical screens, a recent study show that more than 60 percent of our time online is spent on phone. Taking that into account if you want your advertising campaign to use the maximum amount of screen estate available you need to use a 9:16 aspect ratio. This allows to use the maximum potential of the device your target audience is using, and thus increasing the impact your campaign have. Here is an example of it, an animation originally made in a 16:9 aspect ratio rerendered to take benefits of the most screen as possible. Not that long ago we were used to see vertical content on a square format, who know what the future holds for us, maybe the TV of the future will also be in a vertical format. Would love to get you opinion on this subject. This render was made possible thanks to my partnership with my friends at Render Network Foundation
