Generative AI for Filmmakers: From Text Prompt to the Edit Bay

AI Generated Content for Filmmakers is a 10-week, project-based course for directors, editors, writers, and producers ready to harness AI to streamline and elevate their creative workflows.

Start with an intuitive, visual tour of today’s AI capabilities—from storyboarding to full-scene composition—while demystifying concepts like diffusion models and latent space in filmmaker-friendly terms. Using tools like ComfyUI and ControlNet, you’ll learn how to craft cinematic visuals from simple prompts and direct AI as a trusted creative collaborator.

You’ll also work with synthetic audio, automated foley, lip-syncing, and visual consistency through custom-trained LoRA models. Practical workflows for prepping assets—color grading, upscaling, and final delivery—are covered in detail. You’ll explore 3D blocking tools for rapid previsualization and learn to guide AI as you would actors, editors, or DPs.

By the end, you’ll complete a personal project with your own production-ready video clips—proof of your new creative capabilities.
