Make AI images and videos that don't look like AI.
I'm Frank Houbre, an AI filmmaker and trainer. I share concrete workflows to direct AI like a real set: light, lens, framing, motion and continuity. The goal is simple, kill the plastic AI look and get believable, cinematic frames.

Honest analysis
What actually works in 2026 across the fast-moving AI image and video models, tested in the trenches.
A good result never comes from the prompt alone. It comes from the frame, the light, the rhythm, and what you choose not to show.
Tools to produce faster
A cinematic prompt generator, a storyboard PDF builder, a production budget calculator and curated directories of free image and audio AI tools. The tool pages are in French, the tools themselves are self-explanatory.
