Hey, welcome! 👋 I’m really glad you’re here. This whole thing — the AI Filmmaker Lab — is about experimenting and figuring out how to make AI films feel cinematic instead of just… AI. We’re gonna learn together, share what’s working, what’s not, and push each other to make better stuff. ►Where to Start 1. Introduce yourself in the Community (not on this post). Tell us who you are, what got you curious about AI filmmaking, and maybe what you want to create. It doesn’t need to be fancy. 2. Head to the Classroom and watch "Create Your First 5-Second Cinematic Shot with AI". After you say hello, jump into this short beginner-friendly course. It walks you through the simple process of creating your very first cinematic AI shot from start to finish — perfect if you’re brand-new and want a quick win. 3. Join the Weekly Challenge. Once you’ve watched that course, the best way to grow fast is post in the Dailies thread. I encourage you to create something every day — a single image, a short clip, or even just an experiment. The more you post, the faster you’ll improve and find your cinematic style. ►What to Expect Every week, new workflows, trainings, and insights will drop in the Classroom to help you level up your craft and make your work stand out. That’s it for now. From here, share your work, your experiments, even the messy stuff. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about moving forward and growing together. Glad you’re here. – Cameron

Weekly workflow drop. This one is a quick 3 minute lesson inside the Toolbox. It includes the exact prompt and shows you how to get consistent characters fast by generating a simple reference sheet. It also keeps wardrobe consistency. Your assignment is to generate a character reference sheet for two wardrobe variations of the same character using the reference sheet as your anchor. Post both sheets. If you post, reply to one other person too. Give them one small note.

New Toolbox lesson is live in the Classroom. If you have ever struggled to keep the same look across different scenes, this fixes it. You will create a hero image in MidJourney, then use a specific NanoBanana Pro prompt to lock the style, tone, and color so your shots feel like they belong in the same film. You can find it now in the Toolbox.
