Hey everyone, I'm incredibly proud to share a new short film I put together for Veterans Day today, titled "The Last Letter." This film is a personal tribute and a labor of love, dedicated to honoring the courage and sacrifice of veterans, especially those who served in World Wars I and II. I know many of you are pioneering the same tools, so for those interested, this piece was crafted using a blend of Midjourney for the visuals and Kling for the video generation. It really pushes the emotional and atmospheric capabilities of AI in filmmaking. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the final result and how you think AI tools can best be used for emotional and historical storytelling. Thank you for watching, and thank you to all who have served. -Cameron

KlingAI is my go-to video model right now. It’s incredibly powerful, has strong prompt adherence, and I’m using it daily in my own workflow. In this new training video, I walk you through how to get started fast and start creating cinematic motion clips right away. If you’re working with B-roll, music videos, or just visual-driven storytelling, this is absolutely worth checking out. Head to the Classroom to watch it now.

Happy Halloween, Lab members! I wanted to share my latest AI short film project: a pseudo-trailer for "Shadow of the Vampire," a fictional campy horror flick with a strong 1970s Giallo aesthetic! This was a fun, rapid experiment to show how quickly one can achieve a highly specific genre look using a mix of powerful generative AI tools and traditional post-production techniques. 🎬 My AI Filmmaking Workflow: ⏺️ Imagery: I used Midjourney to generate the initial imagery. This allowed me precise control over the visual style, composition, and dramatic lighting (essential for those deep reds and blues!). ⏺️ Animation: I brought those stills to life using Kling for subtle, controlled camera movement and animation, transforming static images into dynamic trailer shots. ⏺️ Voiceover: The dramatic, vintage-style narrator was generated by ElevenLabs. This was key to nailing the authentic trailer sound. ⏺️ Music: The final tension and atmosphere were set with music sourced from Epidemic Sound. ⏺️ Post-Production: I assembled the final cuts in Premiere Pro, and I added finishing effects using Dehancer to achieve that authentic film grain, color grading, and vintage film texture. This project is proof you can go from basic concept to a full-fledged trailer in a matter of days.

Did some simple motion with the War Photos from yesterday. Feeling inspired to make a short film based on these.

I was inspired by Bernard Santora's short film, so I made some war time images.
