Commercials we made with AI.

In the workshop, Dave shows you how we made commercials like these, including everything that went wrong along the way.

Live, hands-on training

From blank prompt to first draft in four hours.

Prompt AI images of people who look human

Most AI-generated people give themselves away with waxy skin and unnatural movements. Learn the prompting techniques to get people that feel alive.

Turn your images into video that moves naturally

A still image is the easy part. Learn how to direct motion so your people talk, laugh, and move in shockingly natural ways.

Course-correct when your prompts aren't working

Everyone hits the moment where the tool keeps giving you the wrong thing, like a character who turns into someone else between shots. Learn how to spot what went wrong and get back on track instead of rerolling for an hour.

Build a first draft of your own commercial or short film

Bring an idea, or find one in the room. You'll create images and clips throughout the workshop and shape them into a first draft you can keep refining after you log off.

Make ads for your own brand without booking a shoot.

No. No filmmaking background required. If you can type a sentence and you’re curious about what AI video can do, you’re ready.

A first draft of your own commercial or short film, made from the images and clips you create during the workshop. Or, if you’re not ready to develop your own project, we’ll provide the assets and partners so you can collaborate on one.

You’ll leave with a first draft of your own video and a better understanding of what it takes to produce professional-quality AI content. AI video can look easy at first, but creating believable characters, natural movement, and visual consistency from shot to shot takes skill and practice. Some participants will continue developing their projects independently. Others may decide to work with a professional creative team. Either way, you’ll be making that decision based on firsthand experience.

You’ll work hands-on with MiniMax H3 Max, which delivers results in seconds rather than minutes. We’ll also use Nano Banana Pro for image generation and ElevenLabs for voiceovers. You’ll have access to most major AI models as you develop your own project.

No. Every attendee gets $100 in AI video credits to use during the workshop, so you can make as many images and clips as you need without paying for a plan.

Yes! It’s a four-hour, live workshop on Zoom, led by Dave with real-time instruction and feedback. You’ll create images and video clips throughout the session, not just watch demonstrations. The workshop will be conversational and interactive, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions, share ideas, and learn from each other.

Yes. Every attendee gets lifetime access to the recording, so you can rewatch any step while you keep working on your project.

If you attend and aren't satisfied, email us within 24 hours of the workshop ending and we'll issue a full refund, no questions asked.
