Modern Creative Lab: AI Video Storytelling from Concept to Delivery
Frank Lagnese
Creative Leader/Hands-On Storyteller
Create portfolio-ready video stories using AI tools like Sora, Suno and Chat GPT
I'm interested in AI as a powerful tool not to replace storytellers, but to challenge us to be better storytellers.
This course unlocks unlimited creative potential without losing your creative voice.
What is this Course?
A 8-week, hands-on lab where you will learn how to plug AI into your creative process without losing the human voice that makes your work resonate.
From the very beginning of Week 1, we will experiment with real storytelling using AI video technology.
By Week 8, you'll have a finished 90-second piece and a repeatable process.
This is not theory.
This course is grounded in more than twenty years of hands-on producing and editing experience.
You're not learning from someone who just discovered AI last year. You're learning from a creative leader who has:
• Directed and produced content for television, digital, and social
• Built and led in-house creative studios and multimedia teams
• Modernized workflows and creative operations for real organizations.
• Worked with Sora, Suno and other AI tools to tell stories that actually connect.
This lab is for you whether:
• You are new to creative storytelling
or
• You are a seasoned professional looking to expand your tools
What you’ll learn
What you’ll get out of this course:
• “I have never used AI. I do not know where to start.”
• “I am dabbling with AI, but it feels gimmicky.”
• “I am worried AI will make my creative craft obsolete.”
• “I am doing it! I am telling the stories I want to tell.”
• “I have built portfolio-ready stories.”
• “I have repeatable workflows using AI as a creative partner, not a replacement or a crutch.”
