Here's the full AI Film masterclass breakdown, every tool, every technique, every mistake, and exactly what it cost.
This is a complete production walkthrough of "Dragon Blue," my AI short film made with Seedance 2.0, Nano Banana Pro, Claude Cowork, and the Luma Agent board.
I cover the entire pipeline from pre-production and reference image generation through video generation, post-production, and final deliveryinc, inluding the multilingual prompting tricks, safety filter workarounds, and Omni model techniques that made this workflow possible.
Whether you're exploring AI filmmaking for the first time or looking to level up your production pipeline, this video breaks down a real workflow you can replicate with the tools available right now.
