A week from yesterday, we start our 2nd AI Animation & Film Accelerator. Three Monday evenings (May 25, Jun 1 & 8), with 10-16 hours of guided production work between sessions.
Us: We are building a tight cohort of animators, filmmakers, and makers who want to ship. We will give you structure, deadlines, feedback loops, and practical AI workflows that speed up pre production without flattening your voice.
You: You bring a story, a character, a mood, a world. It can be messy. It can be early. If you have taste and intent, you are ready.
In the program, you will use AI for the parts that usually slow projects down:
rapid ideation without losing your original premise
script beats, shot lists, and animatics support
style exploration and reference building
production planning so you actually finish
Start date: Monday, May 25

What You'll Build
One complete 30-40 second animated short from a client brief. Your vision. Portfolio-ready.
Session 1 (May 25): Storytelling and Animatic
Session 2 (June 1): Animation and Editing
Session 3 (June 8): Studio style feedback and Professional review
Between sessions: 10-16 hours of independent production work
Session recordings for reference
We wanted to figure out what it actually looks like to work alongside AI as a creative - not in theory, but in practice. What we’ve created is a real workflow that we use on paying client work, and has led us to our own greenlit original IP Blood and Glitter, which has been called "the strongest AI IP from anybody working in this space right now."
Bring your taste, your curiosity, and your unfinished work. That is the raw material. Luke and Mayumi of Tiny Ghost Studios bring the workflow, the feedback, and a path to the AI Film Club screening on June 11 in front of ~200 industry people.
If you have been side eyeing AI tools but still feel the pull, this is a good place to engage.
We treat AI like a creative collaborator and a production amplifier, with clear authorship, intention, and taste leading the work.
We start Monday, May 25.
