Workshop "From Script to Screen: The AI Creative Pipeline" - PJ Way

Workshop "From Script to Screen: The AI Creative Pipeline " - PJ Way

This hands-on workshop demystifies artificial intelligence for traditional filmmakers, demonstrating how AI tools can enhance every stage of the creative process without replacing human vision. Participants will explore the complete filmmaking pipeline from initial concept development and scriptwriting through production design, sound creation, and post-production using accessible AI platforms like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Suno, and Runway ML.

Rather than theoretical discussion, this session emphasizes practical application: attendees will leave with exposure to AI-generated assets and materials they created themselves. Designed specifically for the Chandler International Film Festival, this workshop bridges the gap between traditional craft and emerging technology, empowering filmmakers to leverage AI as a collaborative tool that amplifies creativity while maintaining artistic control.
