Hands-on AI Filmmaking Workshop with William Cusick

Shoot a scene. Transform it with AI. Keep the performance.

Ticketing
Free and open to the public

Join us for a hands-on introduction to AI filmmaking. Participants will stage and shoot a short scene with a phone camera, then use generative AI video tools to transform it. A classroom might become an airplane cabin, for example, while the group tries to keep the actors’ performance intact. Along the way, participants test what AI can and can’t control: blocking, timing, camera angles, and continuity. Led by filmmaker William Cusick, former Creative Director at Stability AI. No coding or AI experience required. Actors, designers, filmmakers, dancers, engineers are all welcome to attend and participate. Observers are also welcome.

Estimated duration: two hours for 8-16 participants.
