From Idea to Finished Film

​From Idea to Finished Film: AI Filmmaking in Practice

​Every great film starts with a single idea. Turning that idea into a finished piece takes visual development, animation, editing, and a lot of creative decisions in between.

​Join award-winning AI film director Claudia Lalau for a live session on how she takes a project from first concept to final cut, using AI tools without giving up the storytelling and craft that make work stand out. Claudia will walk you through her real production workflow and show where AI speeds things up, how creative decisions shape the final result and where a director’s eye still matters most.

​What you’ll learn:

• ​How to shape a rough idea into a clear visual direction

• ​Claudia’s approach to visual development and look-building with AI

• ​Bringing stills to life through AI animation

• ​Editing, pacing, and finishing to turn individual shots into a cohesive, polished film

• ​Practical lessons from making commercials and narrative films with AI

​Who it’s for:
Filmmakers, directors, editors, motion designers, and creative and production teams who want a practical, end-to-end view of AI filmmaking.
