EXPLORE THE COURSE
YOUR 4-MODULE JOURNEY
-
This module focuses on the core difference between live-action and animation (exaggeration), mastering the basics of prompting for consistent images and video, and structuring a screenplay specifically for an animated workflow.
-
In this module you’ll move into deep specificity, designing consistent characters and locations, building shotlists and storyboards, and learning how to "break" the AI to achieve exaggerated, non-realistic performances that feel truly animated.
-
This is the technical heavy-lifting module. We’ll cover voice acting, compositing, and specifically the advanced workflows for lip-syncing (including 2D lip-syncing with advanced tools and non-human characters) to finalize a complete short.
-
This final section shifts from creation to visibility. We’ll cover pitch decks, designing high-converting thumbnails and posters, and strategies for distributing work to build an audience or sell a show.
