Class 2: The Technical Director’s Workflow
Welcome back to TVCOURSE ND-AI: Advanced AI Filmmaking.
In our first session, we learned the foundations of prompting—how to communicate with AI in a way that produces cinematic imagery. Today, we move beyond the basics and into the control room.
Class 2 is about technical precision. This is where AI image generation stops being experimentation and starts becoming professional filmmaking.
Your instructor, five-time Emmy® Award winner Dr. A.G. Voss, is here to pull back the curtain on the iterative workflow and the technical “secret sauce” behind high-end AI cinematography.
Introduction – From Prompting to Directing
Dr. Voss:
Class 1 was intentionally simplified to get you into the world of AI filmmaking as quickly as possible. The fastest way to learn is by creating.
And when you first start, you will hit roadblocks. That’s normal. You don’t yet know what you don’t know. Every correction, every failed render, every adjustment—that’s part of the learning process.
Professional AI filmmaking is iterative. We create, evaluate, refine, and repeat until the image matches the vision.
So before we move deeper into technical direction, let’s quickly recap the core workflow for creating a still image inside Gemini.
