🎬 The Commercial Filmmaking Trend Report 2026 is here
Created by Filmsupply in collaboration with Musicbed, this new report explores the creative shifts shaping the future of commercial filmmaking — from the return of analog textures and imperfect visuals to more intentional pacing, editing, and storytelling.
It’s packed with insight for filmmakers, editors, creatives, and brands looking to stay culturally and creatively relevant in 2026 and beyond.

BEHIND THE IMAGE: How I Created This Midjourney Image – Tilt-Shift Style
I’ve been exploring how AI can emulate photographic techniques, and this project was all about Tilt-Shift photography in Midjourney. Using a structured prompt hierarchy — from subject, angle, and style, to lighting, details, colour, tone, and composition — I was able to guide the AI to create a visually compelling miniature city.
PROMPT HIERARCHY
1. Subject (Auckland city skyline)
2. Angle (aerial)
3. Primary Style (tilt-shift photography)
4. How technique behaves (focus landmark/blur edges)
5. Lighting (Golden hour sunlight)
6. Key scene details (Tiny boats and cars)
7. Colour mood (Vibrant and saturated)
8. Tone/Atmosphere (Dramatic and intense)
9. Detail Level (Hyper-realistic)
10. Composition (Wide cinematic sweep)
11. Lens/Technical Notes (Shallow depth of field)
PROMPT SENTENCE TEMPLATE
[1. Subject], shot from a [2. Angle] in a [3. Primary Style], with [4. Technique behaviour]. Lit by [5. Lighting], featuring [6. Key details]. [7. Colour mood], [8. Tone/Atmosphere], [9. Detail Level]. [10. Composition], with [11. Lens/Technical Notes].
WHAT I LEARNED
• Midjourney can convincingly replicate tilt-shift effects, miniature perspectives, and soft edge blur.
• Even when provided with reference images, the AI couldn’t fully replicate Auckland’s landmarks or shoreline, showing that these images are best for creative exploration rather than commercial accuracy.
• Breaking the prompt into structured layers gave me control and consistency, and iterating the prompt was key to refining the mood and detail.
Curious to see what you can create?
Try the prompt hierarchy yourself and share your results — I’d love to see your interpretations and suggestions!
A Fresh New Look for Red Valley Orchard 🍒✨
I’ve been working on a personal branding project inspired by Red Valley Orchard—and I’m excited to finally share it!
The idea was to explore how a hardworking orchard could be reimagined as a premium, giftable brand that captures the feeling of an Otago summer. From a refined logo and handcrafted packaging to a refreshed visual system and improved website flow, this project was all about storytelling, heritage, and beautiful design.
