01 — Churn
Too many tools, no standard.
Every month brings a new model. Teams trial tools, keep a few, drop the rest, and never settle on a common way of working.
Training · AI in the creative process
Learn the tools.
Keep your voice.
Talks, hands-on workshops and live online courses on AI for filmmaking, writing and music. Taught by people who use these tools on real productions every week.
Why teams come to us
The tools aren't the hard part. The workflow is.
Most creative teams already pay for AI tools. Very few have a shared way of using them.
02 — Craft
The fear of the generic.
The biggest worry creatives have isn't job loss. It's losing the craft. We teach the habits that keep your work recognisably yours.
03 — Consistency
Good clips, but no film.
One great clip is easy. Fifty shots with the same face, the same world and the same light take a method, not luck.
04 — Accountability
Rights, disclosure, budget.
Who owns the output, what has to be disclosed, and what a revision costs. We cover these so they don't trip you up later.
Classes & packages
Pick a format, or ask us to tailor one.
Online sessions are live, in small groups, and recorded for participants. In-person workshops run at your office or at a venue we arrange. Prices are in US dollars, before tax and travel. Ask us about private sessions for your team.
AI in the creative process, without the slop
For leadership, creative departments, conferences and schools.
A clear, realistic overview of what the tools can and can't do today, demonstrated live. Then where the human fits, and what that means for how your team works.
- Live demo, from a single line to a short scene
- What has really changed, and what hasn't
- Q&A on your own projects
From idea to finished short
For creative and marketing teams. Up to 16 people, no AI experience needed.
Hands-on from the first hour. Small groups take one idea through story, character design, look, generation, editing and sound, and leave with a finished 30–60 second film and a workflow they can use again.
- Character bibles that keep faces consistent
- Choosing a model for each shot, and what it costs
- Editing, music and sound: where the polish comes from
The AI film pipeline
For filmmakers, editors, animators and producers. Small groups of up to 12.
Our main course. One live session a week plus office hours, each person working on their own project. By week four you have a finished short and a pipeline you understand from start to finish.
- Week 1: story, research and the character bible
- Week 2: look, storyboard and animatic
- Week 3: generation, performance and continuity
- Week 4: edit, music, sound and delivery
The writers' room, with AI
For writers, scriptwriters and documentary makers. Led by Noel Sheehan.
How to use AI as a writing partner without losing your voice: research, structure, punch-ups and table reads, and knowing when to switch it off.
- Research and fact-checking with AI
- Outlines, treatments, and the beat sheet as a tool
- Hearing your script read: synthetic table reads
Music & sound with AI
For musicians, composers, editors and sound designers. Led by Thor Whalen.
Generative music tools seen from a musician's point of view: sketching, arranging, stems, sound design and scoring to picture, plus the questions about rights and authorship that come with them.
- Sketching and arranging with generative tools
- Stems, sound design and the mix
- Scoring to picture, and licensing questions
Team integration programme
For studios, agencies and in-house teams adopting AI for real.
We map how your team works today, pick the tools that fit and drop the rest, run training on your own projects, and leave a written playbook covering tools, review, rights, disclosure and budgets.
- Audit of your workflow and tools
- Custom workshop on your own material
- Written playbook, then a 30-day follow-up
Prefer one-to-one? We also offer individual coaching for directors, writers and musicians working on a specific project. Get in touch.
