Why take this class
The biggest problem in AI films is that faces change from shot to shot. This class shows you how to keep your characters consistent, so your film looks like one real story.
Every step is shown on screen, click by click, including how to fix a shot that came out wrong.
It is recorded and self-paced: watch when it suits you, pause, and come back any time.
What you’ll be able to do
- Write a short story and an eight-shot list with AI
- Create character reference sheets and consistent characters with their own voices
- Generate each shot, check it and fix mistakes
- Arrange your shots on one timeline, trim them and export the film
- Add music, sound, subtitles, a title and credits
- Make the same story in another city by changing a few words
Who it’s for
- Storytellers, content creators and aspiring filmmakers
- Businesses that want short story-style ads
