The Perfect Prompt
Have you ever wanted to bring a story to life with AI — but struggled to keep characters consistent, visuals coherent, and the voice of the story intact?
This workshop is built for that exact moment!
The Perfect Prompt is a hands-on AI cinematic storytelling workshop hosted by Ima Studio, designed for creators who want to move beyond one-off AI visuals and start telling intentional, coherent stories.
Rather than treating prompts as trial-and-error inputs, this session explores how experienced AI filmmakers use prompts as directorial language — shaping character behavior, visual continuity, pacing, tone, and narrative structure from pre-production through execution.
Speakers — AI Filmmakers & Cinema Storytellers
Michael Eng is an AI filmmaker and storytelling technologist with a background in high-end visual effects and cinematic production. In this workshop, Michael will share his experience on character consistency and visual continuity in AI-generated storytelling.
Alex Lang is an award-winning filmmaker with over 20 years of experience. His work explores how AI can be integrated into cinematic workflows. In this workshop, Alex will focus on pre-production for AI filmmaking — from script and story structure to shot lists, planning, and creative direction. He will also touch on music and sound considerations in AI storytelling.
