ABOUT MARK DK BERRY
In 1993 I pioneered CAD in stage design for some of the biggest bands in the world working for a company that was part of Vari-lite called Brilliant Stages and the late, great Mark Fisher.
At the time, computers promised us "the paperless office" and more free time to enjoy at home. The reality was we could print more paper than ever before, and so the demands got greater to achieve more, because we could, so we did.
AI will not make our work-load lighter, it will make us busier and make more work for us, not less.
Having said that, I believe AI could become a liberating tool when used correctly. But let me rewind time a bit further and talk about the journey to get to this point...
In 1987 I wrote my first musical called "The Search". I quickly realised it would never see the light of day. So, I spent the next 30 years trying to become a rock star instead. It didn't work out as planned. But I made a lot of music and you can find that on markdkberry.bandcamp.com
In 2018 I parked making music to become a writer. Unsurprisingly, that didn't work out as planned either. But I wrote a few books and you can find them on amazon or my online store where you can find a bunch of other stuff too.
Then in 2023, I realised AI was going to revolutionize the movie making industry at some point, so I started looking into it. I was a bit early, but that was okay. And you can see most of what I made during that period on Rumble and some less SFW on Vimeo and the totally SFW on YouTube.
It's now 2025, and I may have mellowed, but a curious conjunction has occured: AI has brought everything to my door, all at once.
On December 5th 2024 an AI model appeared in the open source community that blew everyone's mind. As soon as I had a go with it, I knew - I had finally found the instrument that would allow me to create all the things I had always wanted to create but not been able to. Best of all, it was free.
Music, story, visual creativity, and delivery of the spoken word all wrapped into one. It offered everything, like the devil at the crossroads. It is strange to discover the creative tools that I always wanted access to, yet didn't even know it, have only become available in the latter part of my life. But I'll take it.
And that is where this journey begins.
If you are reading this in 2025 then welcome aboard. AI is about to revolutionise the movie industry and I am 100% certain it is going to lead to some mind blowing stuff within the next two or three years.
