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. Head over to the Introductions thread and make a quick post. 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 Dailies Challenge. Once you’ve watched that course, the best way to grow fast is through 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

The Real Skin Workflow is now available inside the Toolbox. In this lesson learn how to take your MidJourney images (or any Ai images) and upgrade the skin texture so it feels more real and less Ai. We take the hero image into FreePik, run it through Seadream for added texture, and then finish it in Magnific for high-detail up-res. The result is more natural skin, more depth, and a more cinematic final image. If your characters look too smooth or plasticky this lesson will help you fix it fast. Go check it out and let me know what you think.

Hey everyone, just added a brand new follow-up training to the Toolbox called Multi Angle Workflow. If you’ve been using the Consistency Pipeline, this takes that exact method and expands it into full cinematic coverage. In this quick lesson, I show you how to take a single hero frame from MidJourney (or any generator) and run it through Nano Banana Pro to generate a complete set of scene-consistent camera angles — matching character, lighting, style, and overall look. It’s the fastest way to turn one great image into an entire sequence that feels like it belongs together. The lesson is live now inside the Toolbox. Go try it out and share your shots — can’t wait to see what you create.
