How to Win an Oscar from Your Browser

Description

Remember when making a video required a camera, decent lighting, and actors who actually showed up on time? Yeah, we’re mostly done with that. Welcome to the era of AI filmmaking, where your directing skills are entirely dependent on how aggressively you can type adjectives into a text box. In this month’s event, we're skipping the theoretical fluff and diving straight into the deep end of AI video generation. We will explore the current landscape of video models (yes, the ones that are currently keeping studio executives awake at night), how to build actual cinematic workflows instead of just generating creepy 3-second clips of people eating spaghetti, and the dark art of maintaining consistency so your actor doesn't spontaneously turn into a coffee table halfway through the scene.
