Program Overview
AI Film Making is a complete, 8-module production course that takes you from a blank page to a finished, original short film using today’s leading AI video, voice, and music tools — including Google Veo 3.1, OpenAI Sora 2, Kling 3.0, Runway Gen-4.5, and Luma Ray. You’ll learn to write and shot-list a script, direct consistent AI characters across scenes, generate cinematic shots, mix professional sound, edit and color grade your footage, and understand the ethics and business of releasing AI-made films — then apply all of it in a hands-on capstone short film.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need filmmaking or coding experience to take this course?
No. This course is built for complete beginners. If you can describe what you want to see, you can direct an AI film — no coding, editing experience, or film school background is required.
Which AI video tools does this course use?
You will work hands-on with the leading text-to-video models — Google Veo 3.1, OpenAI Sora 2, Kling 3.0, Runway Gen-4.5, and Luma Ray — plus budget options like MiniMax Hailuo and Wan, so you can match the right tool to your budget and shot.
How long does the course take to complete?
The course is self-paced. Most students complete the 8 modules and capstone short film in 6 to 10 weeks studying a few hours per week.
Do I need to pay for the AI tools separately?
Yes. This course teaches you how to use third-party AI video, voice, and music tools. Most offer free or low-cost tiers to practice with, and the course shows you how to budget for paid generation.
Will I finish the course with a real film I can show?
Yes. The capstone project in Module 8 walks you through producing a complete original AI short film from script to final mix that you can add directly to your portfolio.
Is it ethical or legal to make films with AI?
Module 7 covers this directly: copyright and ownership rules, each tool’s commercial-use terms, and how to disclose AI-generated content responsibly. AI filmmaking is legal and increasingly mainstream, but you are responsible for following each platform’s terms and your local law.
