[Exclusive Interview] Talking to creator Kumaga Ayumu, whose work was selected for the city billboard

Kumaga Ayumu (@KumagaAyumu), who has created many AI videos with Smart Pocket and had one of their works chosen for the city billboard, shared this:

“Part of an anime I made was actually used in this video! I never imagined a day would come when it would be shown on a giant outdoor screen…
Seeing a work that was born from Web3 shining in the middle of a real city is honestly so moving.”

Just one year ago, Kumaga Ayumu was a complete novice. We asked for their secrets to creating.

Q1: Your process from brainstorming to completion

“My process is simple: idea generation → structure → prompt refinement → final touches.”

There’s no need to overcomplicate things. First, clearly define what you want to communicate. Kumaga Ayumu told us that is the very first step.

Q2: What tools do you use?

“I basically complete everything within Higgsfield. By not increasing the number of tools and keeping things consistent, I feel it’s easier to maintain a stable worldbuilding and look for the work.”

Beginners in particular tend to want to try lots of different tools. But what Kumaga Ayumu recommends is mastering one tool thoroughly. In fact, that’s the fastest route to improving.

Q3: Tips for creating successful works

“There are three points I’m especially conscious of:

Build the structure around a theme that aligns with the intent of the content Don’t write prompts sloppily—verbalize everything in detail before generating Don’t add unnecessary elements so the core of the work doesn’t get diluted.”

“Write prompts carefully.”
This is something that’s surprisingly easy to overlook. But the more specific the instructions you give the AI, the more likely you are to get the results you’re hoping for.

Q4: A message for creators who want to get started

“I was a complete beginner until just a year ago, but the following two points were especially effective for me:

Start with very short pieces
　 10-second, single-theme clips are the fastest way to improve. You don’t need more tools
　 The more tools you add, the more complex things get for beginners, so fully using just one tool first leads to better growth.”

Instead of spreading yourself thin by trying this and that, pick one tool and dig deep into it. It’s simple, but this is the most effective way to learn.

Ready to use now! 3 AI video creation tools

“But which tool should I use?”

For you, here are three AI video creation tools you can start using right away.

1. Sora 2 (OpenAI)

The latest AI video generation model developed by OpenAI. It can generate astonishingly realistic videos from text. Just by inputting a prompt, you get footage that looks almost like live-action. It’s intuitive enough that even beginners can use it easily—that’s its big appeal.

2. Higgsfield

This is the tool that Kumaga Ayumu themselves uses regularly. It specializes in animation production, letting you create works with a consistent world and style. Since you don’t have to jump between multiple tools, it’s an ideal first choice for beginners.

3. Runway Gen-3

A tool that excels at generating short video clips. It’s easy to tweak prompts and reflect subtle nuances in the output. If you want to create short pieces around 10 seconds, this tool will be very comfortable to use.

A new creator ecosystem grown by the community

What truly sets Smart Pocket apart from other projects is its mechanism for adopting community works and growing them together.

Kumaga Ayumu puts it this way:

“This system where the community’s works are adopted and then grown together—honestly, it’s the best.”

The piece you create today might be playing on a city billboard tomorrow. It might be used as an official visual for the community.

This is not just a “contest.” It’s a place where creators and the community become one and generate new value together.

Summary

The Smart Pocket AI Creator Contest is not only a chance to win 10,000 $SP—it also holds the possibility that your work will shine in the real world.

Key points to remember:

• Entering is easy: just like, repost, and share your work in a reply
• Beginners are absolutely welcome
• Start with short 10-second pieces; one tool is enough at first
• Write prompts carefully—detailed wording is the key to success
• The community will help your work grow

Right now, Kumaga Ayumu’s work is playing on a city billboard in Sōemonchō, Osaka.

The next piece to appear on that giant screen might be yours.
