Certificate in AI Filmmaking

The Certificate in AI Filmmaking is a self-paced program taught by Kai Laigo, an independent AI filmmaker whose feature films and series are in distribution on streaming platforms. It covers the full pipeline, from idea to a finished film that passes distributor quality control.

This isn't a "type a prompt and get a movie" course. AI tools generate clips; filmmakers turn clips into stories. You'll learn the craft that separates watchable AI films from tech demos: story, shot design, consistency, sound, editing, finishing and distribution.

What you'll learn

• The complete AI film pipeline and how to choose tools without getting locked in
• Writing and storyboarding for AI: designing scenes around what the tools do well
• Prompting for images and video, keeping characters consistent, and managing takes
• Dialogue, music, sound design and the mix
• Why editing is the real secret of AI filmmaking, plus frame-accurate finishing for QC
• Formats, distribution, rights, and building an audience
