This is not a quick tour of AI tools. You start with one story, then build its script, characters, identity, scenes, sound and edit—towards a presentable short-film cut and a starter portfolio documenting the journey.
Foundational–applied level · no previous filming or editing experience required
You can generate a striking image or clip in minutes, but a film needs story, character continuity, visual and sound decisions, pacing and review. This programme brings those skills into one production workflow learned through your project—not disconnected demos.
AI expands what one person can produce, but it does not remove the need for story, taste and review. The programme therefore focuses on decisions that remain valuable even when the tools change.
Every session adds a new production asset to the same film.
You move on only after understanding and reviewing the practical output.
You learn to choose, analyse and improve—not repeat memorised clicks.
The trainer builds each stage live, then you apply it to your project and review the result before moving on—following the Almaestro Guided Project Methodology (AGPM).
The programme is for people ready to make a real project—not those looking for a quick tool demonstration.
For those ready to move from isolated clips to story-led content with a clear identity and workflow.
For those who need ad concepts and brand stories they can develop in-house with greater speed and cost awareness.
For those adding scene writing, character consistency and AI-assisted motion to an existing creative skill set.
For those creating engaging visual learning stories without reducing the experience to a dry tour of tools.
For those who want a structured practical project they can add to a portfolio and explain creatively.
For anyone with a film idea or visual story who needs a clear method to move it from page to screen.
Every module builds on the last — in a real production order, not a random one.
The concept of AI-powered production, film stages, the idea-to-video workflow, and responsible-use principles.
Logline, Synopsis, building characters, and breaking the script into scenes and shots.
Professional prompt structure, camera angles, lighting and aspect ratios, then analysing and refining results with Nano Banana or the selected tool.
Character Bible, Character Sheet, Style Library, Shot List, and Storyboard.
Turning images into scenes with Kling or Veo, controlling camera and character motion, and producing voice-over and sound with Google AI Studio or the selected tool.
Editing your film in CapCut, pacing and colour, exporting, and presenting your final project to the group.
Named tools are used as part of the production workflow. The trainer may substitute an equivalent if availability changes or a newer option produces better results.
The real value is the organised set of assets showing how you moved from idea to final cut—assets you can reuse and develop later.
This loop repeats at every stage, keeping every participant connected to an achievable project rather than disconnected lectures.
The trainer builds the stage live and explains the decisions, not merely the buttons.
You immediately apply the step to your own project on your own device.
The result is reviewed and corrected before you move to the next stage.
The stage output is approved and added to the project file and practical assignment.
Participation, activities, assignments, project planning, final-project quality and presentation all contribute—not a tool-memory test.
Delivery follows the detailed trainer manual and the AGPM model built around one project developed across the sessions.

No. The level is foundational and applied, but you should be comfortable using a computer, bring your laptop, and commit to work between sessions.
20 training hours across four in-person morning training days, with five training hours per day. Confirmed cohort dates and exact times appear when registration opens.
The workflow typically includes ChatGPT or Gemini, Nano Banana or an equivalent, Kling or Veo, Google AI Studio, and CapCut. Tools may change with availability and output quality; the goal is to master the production process and decision-making, not memorise one interface.
Not every tool is paid, but some generation services may require third-party credits or a subscription. The exact setup list and any extra cost are shared before the cohort begins.
That is the final-project goal. You develop one idea stage by stage into a presentable short-film cut, provided you complete the activities, assignments and required milestones.
The Taim Academy completion certificate is tied to attendance, practical activities and assignments, and completing and presenting the final project according to cohort requirements.
The instructor and their profile are shown once the cohort is confirmed. Delivery follows the programme's detailed manual and the Almaestro Guided Project Methodology (AGPM).
We're planning dedicated corporate cohorts later on. Tick the box in the form to be first to hear when they launch.
