My less glamorous hotel task this week was filing expense receipts. I used LensUp, this free in-browser document scanner, to turn phone photos into clean printable PDFs.

I actually had to mock up a storyboard for a classic European resort reel last week, and the video generator I’ve been using handled the interior lighting better than expected. I dropped in a reference still of an ornate arched corridor and prompted a slow backward dolly with soft morning light streaming through tall windows—it took a couple of passes to settle down the camera drift, but it kept the moldings and chandelier reflections steady throughout the shot.

I was actually trying to storyboard a similar mood last week for a boutique travel client. I ran a prompt through Veo 3.1 asking for a slow tracking shot of morning fog lifting over an alpine hotel veranda, and using the ии генератор видео setup took about two minutes to spit out a clean five-second clip. It obviously doesn’t replace shooting on location, but having that quick visual draft made selling the concept a lot simpler.

Seeing those archways actually reminded me of a hospitality moodboard I was putting together last week. I ran a few architectural references through GPT Image 2.5, the AI image editor I use, just to mock up a heritage-style sunroom concept. It handled the intricate window mullions cleanly without smudging the mountain backdrop behind them, which saved me quite a bit of tedious brushwork.
