📽️ Join the Mickmumpitz AI Film School - Community Project #1! 🎬 (Patreon)

Are you passionate about cinematography  and eager to explore the exciting world of AI filmmaking? Look no further! I'm thrilled to invite you to our first collaborative project: "The [...] Incident of [...]."

Check out the attached course schedule for a detailed overview!

🌟 What's in Store? 

In this unique course, we'll harness the power of AI techniques to craft a fictional documentary about an extraordinary, supernatural event that altered the course of history. Imagine creating "The Flowerhead Epidemic of 1969," "The Catnado of Mousemantown," or "The great glitching plaque of New York." 

Your documentary will feature:

✅ Compelling characters with lip-synced dialogue 

✅ An engaging storyline that grips your audience 

✅ Cinematic shots capturing the essence of the incident 

✅ Captivating voice-over narration 

✅ Immersive sound design and music 

✅ Professional titles and lower thirds

🎯 What's the Goal? 

Our aim is to blend traditional filmmaking principles with cutting-edge AI tools, offering you a chance to master the art of filmmaking in a modern context. By the end of this course, you'll have created your own AI short film (1-3 minutes) and gained valuable insights into both AI technology and classic filmmaking techniques.

Above all, we're here to have fun and grow as a creative community, so remember to plan the scale of your project according to your time to ensure an enjoyable learning experience.

🔧 How Does It Work? 

Our journey kicks off on October 5th, 2023, and unfolds over eight weeks.
