AI filmmaking, the cinematic way
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.
Cinematic prompting
Write prompts like a photo or video brief: lens, light, framing and intention, not keyword soup.
Real workflows
Step-by-step pipelines for image, video and sound that hold up across multiple shots.
Honest analysis
What actually works in 2026 across the fast-moving AI image and video models, tested in the trenches.
Free AI tools
Interactive tools to speed up your AI production: a cinematic prompt generator, a storyboard PDF builder, a production budget calculator and curated directories of free image and audio AI tools.
