00:00I made a dystopian series called D-Edit, 10 episodes about a government that uses AI
00:05to rewrite reality. And here's how I actually shot it. D-Edit has no editing. That was the
00:11whole point and the hardest part. Every episode is one clean take. No cuts, no hiding, just me,
00:18the camera and a green screen. A lawyer? Please? The real technical challenge here was
00:25delivering my lines at the right timing. I pre-recorded my voice as the off-screen character,
00:31leaving pauses for my on-screen lines. But most of the time while I was acting, the recorded dialogue
00:37would overlap with my lines and completely ruin the scene because of the one-take principle.
00:44Shooting dialogue scenes alone is honestly kind of a nightmare. Oh for Christ's sake. One more thing
00:52I had to figure out was distribution. My original plan was to post full episodes on social media.
00:59But D-Edit is dense and every line matters. And that kind of attention is hard to ask for on
01:07a
01:07scrolling feed. Especially before you've built an audience that already knows what to expect from you.
01:12So full episodes go on YouTube while short clips are made for social feed. At the end,
01:18format and distribution aren't afterthoughts. They are really part of the creative decision.
01:24Understood. Now full transparency. This series is about the dangers of AI and I use AI to make it.
01:31The backgrounds you see are AI generative and some of the off-screen voices as well. And I didn't want
01:37to hide that contradiction because AI itself is not the dystopia. The dystopia begins when regulation
01:45disappears or when power uses this tool without accountability. And in this case, until truth
01:53becomes editable. One tech, no partner, no editing. That's D-Edit.
