ACT is a lovely group of AI video creators at all levels of learning. ACT is a great forum to keep up to date with tech and methods as well as share and get feedback on your own creations as you learn. ACT also offers upgraded programs such as the Video Cohort. I went through the cohort and improved my skills with targeted personal training as well as collaborating with new people. ACT continues to develop the cohort course to keep current with emerging technology and adapt to students' needs!

Barnabas’s challenges go beyond prompting. For one, we studied the cinematography of the coin flip scene in No Country for Old Men: tight framing, slow pacing, long pauses. Then I took that same tension and dropped it into a video transfer shop like my own. That became my AI short film The Transfer. Barnabas teaches you how to think like a filmmaker, not just which buttons to push. I’m on my second cohort now, and I’d recommend him to anyone serious about AI filmmaking. Thank you, Barnabas!

ACT is an outstanding community for AI video creators, thanks to the vision and leadership of Barnabas. His creativity, technical knowledge, and incredible video productions are truly inspiring. He introduced me to powerful AI tools like Dzine and has personally offered valuable guidance and feedback on my projects. His passion for teaching and helping others succeed is exceptional. He's built a welcoming, supportive community where creators share ideas, learn, and grow together!

Learning alongside this group in Barnabas's cohort has been a fantastic experience. The cohort is like family: we cheer each other on, help each other, and the weekly homework makes sure what we learn sticks. Barnabas is a fantastic teacher who guides and encourages you and helps bring your ideas to life. I've won a few challenges and earned the cost of the cohort back from them. If you're thinking about joining, you'll be welcomed, supported and inspired. Just go for it.

Joined this group with my daughter to help her learn AI video making. I started it as a hobby, but my main goal was helping her build marketable skills. She's really talented at art, especially anime, and there's a good market for the kinds of stories she enjoys. We've loved the training so far and are about to launch a YouTube channel for her work. Highly recommend—not just for the training, but the great group of people we learn so much from.
