EuGFA Live Workshop

Making generative
short films.

Live workshops on generative short-film craft — story, process and authorship, not feed content.

Practice & learning

EuGFA treats generative film as authorship: craft, intention and responsibility. Tools are means. The work is yours.

New Frames and other EuGFA screenings can be a next step after you learn. These workshops are EuGFA programmes — not competition prep branded as New Frames.

~2h each

From intention to short

Live critique each session. Suggested 12–20 seats so everyone gets feedback. You leave with an exercise film and a process note — what the model did versus what you decided.

Story & intention

Premise, spine, constraints — what AI should not invent for you.

Exercise One-paragraph intention + beat list for a ≤3 min piece.

Previs / boards / stills

Direction through prompts and references; selecting and rejecting outputs.

Exercise Board or still sequence for the piece.

Motion & consistency

Image-to-video and video tools; character and world continuity.

Exercise Motion drafts for key shots.

Sound, edit, finishing

Sound design, edit rhythm, pacing, export for screening.

Exercise Rough cut of the exercise piece.

Authorship, ethics, delivery

Process documentation, disclosure language, festival-ready package.

Exercise Final short + one-page process note.
