Creator Fury - Episode 1: In this filmmaker deep dive, we break down how to create a CGI airplane sequence for a short film using AI tools.
You’ll hear the full story of how Adobe Firefly burned through thousands of credits with broken prompts, the hilarious failures along the way, and how using an After Effects animatic as a video reference finally gave AI what it needed to deliver the shot.
If you’re curious about AI filmmaking workflows, CGI on a budget, or how to combine After Effects with Firefly, this conversation is packed with insights, mistakes, and practical tips you can use in your own projects.
