2 UPDATES: 1. Official Delivery Dates for Modules 5 to 8 2. Confirmation for the AI Animation Coach (my AI Clone + 2 talented directors) to guide you step by step on your filmmaking progress. I recorded a short video for you to explain the upcoming updates. When I launched AI Animation Masterclass I committed to 8 modules delivered weekly. I'm at 4 of 8. Two reasons: 1. I had an original plan for the Curriculum of this program that changed dramatically. 2. I had a computer braking up, and could not edit videos or edit images fast enough. It would take too much time to load anything. The original curriculum was this: - WEEK 1: Becoming an AI Director & Producer - WEEK 2: Shot-by-Shot Production Pipeline - WEEK 3: Character Design & Style Consistency System - WEEK 4: Character Actions & Limitations - WEEK 5: Background Design & Consistency - WEEK 6: Audio Consistency (Voice Acting, Music and SFX) - WEEK 7: Camera Magic (Motion, Timing and Limitations) - WEEK 8: Putting it All Together, Publish, Grow, and Repeat And after teaching classes live and seeing what students were actually struggling with, that changed too: - MODULE 1: Becoming a Good AI Director & Producer - MODULE 2: Shot-by-Shot Production Pipeline - MODULE 3: Consistency Shot-by-Shot - MODULE 4: Take Back Control When AI Won't Listen - MODULE 5: Unlock Maximum Control - MODULE 6: Advanced Image Editing - MODULE 7: Advanced Video Editing - MODULE 8: Advanced Audio Editing - BONUS: Advanced Cinematography That's resolved now. I have a new machine that can actually handle the workload, and I'm back at the desk. Here's the real timeline: - Module 5: May 25 - Module 6: Jun 1 - Module 7: Jun 8 - Module 8: Jun 15 And as a thank you for your patience: Every active AAM student gets lifetime access to all future course updates at no additional cost. Also, we are working on a project to develop a software that guides you step by step on all this AI Production Pipeline, with an AI Clone of me + 2 directors who have together 30 years of experience in filmmaking working with big clients like Amazon, Warner Music, and Universal.

In the past, creating all these infographics for the slides of a training I'm doing for the 10K HP Academy. Normally, this would take me a whole week, and thanks to Nano Banana and Claude, it took me 2 and a half hours! A total of 19 slides!

I updated the style of Gwen's character to better match Butter's art style.

Ok guys, I'm sooooo excited about this. If you are in the AI Animation Masterclass, then you've been learning the pipeline, you've been building your skills, you've been testing tools... and now here's your chance to actually DO something with all of that. I'm putting together a list of AI film festivals and competitions I keep an eye on. Click the link here to see the Updated AI Film Festivals These aren't mine, just the ones I find interesting and worth your time. And honestly? This is one of the best things you can do right now as an AI director. - Even if you don't win, your work gets seen. - Festivals screen your films to judges, audiences, and industry people. - That visibility is GOLD when you're just building your portfolio. - You can enter solo OR team up with someone from our community. - Make a short film, an ad, an experiment. It all counts. And from my experience? Winning isn't even the point! → The deadline forces you to FINISH something. And a finished film, even an imperfect one, is worth a thousand ideas stuck in your head. So if you've been saying "I'll submit something someday," today is a great day to start. Pick a deadline and work backwards. That's how you become a director, not just someone who talks about making films. Drop a comment if you're thinking about entering one. I'd love to cheer you on! 🙌
