AI Film Masterclass, New Technique & Cost Breakdown!

Video Description

In this AI Filmmaking and Trailer Masterclass, I deconstruct my recently released AI trailer step-by-step—concept, shot generation, remix passes, upscale/texture recovery, edit stack, and a transparent cost/time breakdown. You’ll see where Veo 3.1 (Flow Ultra) excels for image-referenced dialogue scenes, how a subtle Sora-1 video remix adds motion/texture, and why a final Topaz Astra pass cleans up jank while preserving the Veo base. I also walk through timeline organization (adjustment layers, film grain/bloom, corner blur), share a realistic monthly budget, and show how to scale this workflow toward longer projects. If you want to ship more polished AI pieces faster, this is for you.
