Extras
Three things that sit outside the main job. A post-mortem you can run on your own work, a way to check what you made before it ships, and the rest of what I build.
Run a post-mortem on your own work
A skill you install onceEvery production ends with one. You sit in a room and work out what actually happened: what ran long, what got rebuilt, what you would set up differently. Done properly it ends in decisions, and the next job starts further along.
Almost nobody runs one on their own creative work. So this is the method, written as a skill you install once into Claude or ChatGPT. Then you say "run a post-mortem on this" and it knows what to ask and what to hand back: your defaults, your standing rules, and the one change worth making.
It works on any creative job, with or without this site. If you have used Call Sheet, your prompts are evidence already, and the third button attaches them.
Claude: Settings, then Capabilities, then Skills, then Create skill, and paste this in. ChatGPT: make a Project and paste it into the project instructions, or a custom GPT and paste it into Instructions. Anything else: paste it as your first message and say "run this on my work".
Your prompts never left your browser to get here, and they do not leave when you copy. Where they go next is up to you and whichever model you paste them into.
Before it ships
Detection and records, not coverNone of the companies on the Who defends you tab will defend an individual creator for what their model produced. That is the finding, and it does not change by wishing.
You can still check the work and keep the receipts. CopySight scans AI images, video and 3D for similarity to protected material, scoring trademarks, characters, brand designs, likeness and art styles. You get a number, a report, and a log of how it was made.
Be clear: it is evidence, not insurance. It gives you proof you checked, which is the strongest position available to a small shop right now.
CopySight is not mine. The explainer is, and it reads every indemnity clause on the board in plain English, across eight sections.
The rest of what I build
Melissa BeeryCapture the Light
For lighting and art teams matching an AI frame into a real setup. It reads how an AI frame was lit, then gives you what you need to carry that lighting into your own generations or relight a shot you already have. It exports a Blender scene, so you can rebuild the setup in CG.
Open Capture the Lightmeliss.ai.beery
Hollywood production intelligence, mixed with a healthy dose of AI obsession. Twenty-five years inside animation and VFX, and an honest read on where generative AI actually lands in a real pipeline.
