Description

You used to need a film crew, a designer, and a sound engineer to make good content. Now you need to know how to direct AI. In this hands-on evening you’ll set up your own one-person studio and make something real, on your own topic, in a single night, whether that’s a video, a podcast, an infographic, or a set of social posts.

We’ll get into two shifts that are quietly changing creative work. First, the AI agents now built inside creative platforms like Higgsfield, Runway, and Luma, where you describe what you want and the tool handles the production. Second, the orchestration layer that sits above them, something like Cowork (Claude’s desktop agent), which lets you run the whole stack from one place, the way a director calls the shots on a set.

Starting from one idea, you’ll generate the visuals, direct AI video, produce audio for narration or a podcast, and lay it all out into a finished piece you can publish. You pick the format. The point isn’t any single tool. It’s learning to direct them together, so you walk out with a system you can run again the next morning.

Tools we’ll use: Cowork (Claude’s desktop agent) as your director’s chair; Higgsfield, Runway, and Luma for AI video; ElevenLabs for narration, podcast audio, music, and sound; and AI design tools like Gemini, Nano Banana, Ideogram, and Canva for images, infographics, and layout. HeyGen and Descript make cameos.
