Webinar: Generative AI for Filmmakers

AI is rapidly reshaping previs, VFX, editorial, and post. This fast-paced, practical session shows how to use today’s AI tools as a creative partner—to iterate faster, visualize more clearly, and move ideas from text prompt → cinematic moment without replacing your artistry.

You’ll also get a look at AGC1, a 10-session online course (starting January 2026) that helps working creatives reskill into AI-assisted production pipelines.

• From prompt to picture: Generate a visual concept from a simple brief (e.g., using ComfyUI).
• Directed control: Refine composition and motion with ControlNet and LoRA.
• Sound & sync: Add AI soundbeds and basic lip-sync to create a short cinematic beat.
• Pro use cases: How these workflows slot into previs and proof-of-concepts in real productions.

Damian Allen is a VFX supervisor and educator with 20+ years in feature film and series work. He’s held leadership roles at Pixerati and TumplePlay, authored books on compositing and emerging workflows, and teaches practical, production-tested approaches to machine learning and AI for the screen.
