Do I need prior experience with complex video editing software to create the cinematic animations?

No prior video editing experience is required. The workshop focuses on using AI tools (like Luma AI and Weavy) to handle the animation, transitions, and camera movements, allowing participants to create professional-quality videos

Will this workshop teach me how to keep the same style across multiple views?

Yes. A core part of the curriculum involves "Project Edits with AI," which focuses on generating consistent interior and exterior views of the same building. Participants learn specific prompting techniques and editing workflows to maintain a cohesive atmosphere and style

Are subscriptions required for every single AI tool listed in the program?

A MidJourney Standard membership and a Weavy Starter tier are required. Other AI tools used in the workshop will be demonstrated by the instructor, but having your own subscriptions for these is not mandatory to attend.

How does this 'Cinematic' approach differ from standard architectural rendering?

It moves beyond static images to focus on "Storytelling." The workshop teaches how to craft a narrative, adding movement, people, and changing atmospheres (like weather or time of day) to create an immersive video pitch.

Will this workshop help my presentations stand out in a competitive market?

Yes. The course focuses on creating "Cinematic Visual Narratives," which go far beyond standard static renderings. By mastering AI-driven storytelling, motion, and atmosphere, you will be able to create immersive video pitches that capture attention and communicate your ideas.

Key frames for smooth and cinematic video generation with Luma AI
Principles of storytelling while generating and editing a video

Methodology

The workshop will focus on the workflow for generating the interior space and exterior facade for one building, based on the existing plan/image/reference.

In conclusion, we will combine elements from both workflows into a comprehensive video that showcases your project from both inside and outside. Every participant is working on their own project, highlighting individual progress and contribution throughout the workshop.

We will start by generating the base images for the interior and exterior. Alternatively, we will transform the white interior and exterior models into realistic renders using the AI editing toolset.

Then we will proceed to the next stage by editing those images - creating different/extra views, changing the atmosphere/weather, and adding some people.

To sum up, we will bring all the pictures to life by animating transitions between frames. This workshop is divided into three main parts:

Idea generation (based on the existing early-stage project or without it)

Participants will explore how to ideate and develop a precise, extended prompt to achieve a photorealistic and desirable outcome. We will explicitly cover the tokens in the prompts (including the camera position and adjustments), parameters, style, omni, and image references.

Also, participants will receive a hands-on guide to working with the sketch/white model in MidJourney (and other AI editing tools) and to assigning a specific look/style to it. At this stage, we are working on both the interior and exterior images.

Project edits with AI

We are using the results from the previous stage (or an existing project image) and making adjustments with the AI editing tools (Nano Banana Pro and others). The goal is to showcase different edit scenarios that could be easily achieved with a prompt and reference combination.

For instance, we will consider weather/time-of-day/atmospheric changes, object inpainting, extra-view/image generation, and people addition. The focus will be on the consistency of all generated images.

Animation of the project with AI

During the last phase of the workshop, we will explore video generation for all of the images, highlighting how these skills can elevate your projects. We will go through the key framing and storytelling for the final video.

At this stage, we will cover the transition making, the morphing, and object manipulations. The aim is to develop a cinematic and convincing video to pitch your architectural/design idea at an early stage.

Content is great, Alena did it very well! I would prefer a better provision of files and prompts before the workshop starts, so that students can better do the stuff by themselves.
