Masterclass: AI film Directing in Runway Gen 3 - Create Stunning Cinematic Shots!

[@nancelot6115]

In my cynicism I expected you to pitch your for-pay AI filmmaking class, but you generously shared all this information for free. Awesome due, awesome video!

[@tobypointer]

Thanks... and you were not the only one

[@Militiahistoria]

I agree. Fantastic content. Well done!

[@damnwereinatightspot]

Agreed... thanks for providing this. Liked and subscribed

[@the-ceo.]

What’s the best place to study filmmaking like this? AI classes seem to be everywhere now

[@alice10888]

Me too, and I would’ve gladly checked out his course!

[@Dublin_official]

You managed to fit everything, or almost all, of the courses and instructions of the guru in Runway into one video. Thank you very much

[@tobypointer]

That’s what I’m trying to do!

[@Samadbaloch7]

I made my first Ai film after watching this video. The amount of knowledge that I learned from Mr. Tobey is in my short film. I can't stop admiring your work Mr. Tobey. A lot respect to you.

[@tobypointer]

That is awesome and thank you!

[@sidharthavladimirsotocampo7874]

You are a truly creative pro. Thanks for sharing real value for community. New era of filmmaking is now here.

[@tobypointer]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@azarelthecreator7098]

Nah the ai does all the creation. This is just good fraud.

[@sohahamouda5227]

You are amazing

[@JennyCastano-r4u]

This is a masterpiece! Amazing work. Thank you for generously sharing all this information for free. I’ve tried creating consistent characters in MidJourney to make a video in Runway, but it’s challenging. If you ever open a course on this, count me in-I’d definitely enroll!

[@tobypointer]

It is challenging I agree. the best way I found is to create 6 references images of your character in different head directions. (Use Runway's new camera controls to spin around your character, then take stills from the video to create the different angles) and finally use all six as a character reference. that process worked well for me.

[@chrisn.anderson5217]

This work is not a Masterclass Toby. You are a Masterclass Film Producer. I salute you Sir. Thanks for the teaching.

[@tobypointer]

Wow, thank you!

[@Teretalem]

Oh. You just make me fall in love with your channel and way of explaining. I have gone through many AI movie things. You are more than a mentor!!!!! Keep up!

[@tobypointer]

Awesome thank you

[@AnimalKingdomFunn]

To be honest this is one of the best video I have ever seen. I watched all of it. Why dont you make videos/films like the ones in the video? Millions would watch it. Thanks and good luck.

[@tobypointer]

Amazing and thank you

[@rongreen4536]

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! This video was actually worth watching, very informative and entertaining. I didn't think to myself, well that's 20 minutes of my life wasted. Great job Toby!

[@tobypointer]

Awesome and thanks

[@uptypejoaofidalgo]

This wonderful class saved me a lot of time studying Runway. Yes, AI has several pages of guidance, but they are not explained with the clarity and detail of your class. Thank you very much!

[@tobypointer]

Glad I could help!

[@grantburrows]

Wow! Toby! That was great. Thankyou. From this you can see that you actually 'walk the talk'! A Toby Pointer course I am sure would be filled and truly valuable to all the upcoming and potential Ai movie makers. Thanks again Toby.

[@tobypointer]

Wow Thank you and Glad you enjoyed it

[@Don_Lvon_Creative]

Wow!! I want to learn this!! This is GREAT!! Your AI directors real is unbelievable!! I’m blown away!!

[@tobypointer]

Thanks! I'll be making more!

[@Salcombe22]

The value provided here for new AI film producers is simply incredible. I use AI generated images for all my music sleeves and sometimes AI generated videos (although still quite expensive to produce). AI allows small artists the chance to create some unique and highly professional when they would otherwise not be able to do so. I am trying to improve and this video is my number 1 go to for learning how to get better. If it's ok with you I will post a link on my social channels - I won't post though unless you are ok with this.

[@tobypointer]

[@tobypointer]

Thanks, I appreciate it

[@Directorkey718]

I'm starting to explore AI filmmaking. Coming from classical filmmaking, I'm glad to see that the principles and camera motivations are applying to this new revolution. Filmmaking is filmmaking, only the tools really change. I wrote a 3 page short with two characters to start this AI exploration and this video eased my fear about trying this new toolset out. Thank you!

[@tobypointer]

That's great to hear! It's all about adapting and finding the creative potential in each tool.

[@P1S1]

This is a really nice initiative. Pls continue to educate us with more pearls of ur wisdom.

Toby, you are awesome, sir! I just graduated a few months back for my bachelors in 3D and VFX but I also believe in keeping with the times as far as what could possibly be next. Knowing the move that Lionsgate pulled with Runway, I will definitely be looking into this, especially since I do have stories of my own that I would love to tell. You just gained a new subscriber that clicked the bell icon, :)

@@michaelkostukov9669 thank you

[@stylezmorales]

other ideas to try are things like oscillating shot, hyper speed timelapse from and to different locations, split screen shot and have the subject cross the boundary. I've been trying to push the limits of these things, and with the newest models you'd be surprised what you can make the AI do. It's all in the prompt friends. I always try to picture the shot in my head, and I walk through every beat of the shot and have the AI focus on the things I want the audience to focus on. This was an awesome video, as someone who has been learning all I can about filmmaking I appreciate content like this. Thank you for sharing.

[@tobypointer]

Absolutely … yah I could have kept going but I was hitting a burnout but thanks for adding some more insight.

[@tonyr.4778]

And yet it all looks fake. If you live in a world of playing games, then it may seem real, but it is still unreal (no pun intended). I agree that AI video is getting better, but cell animation and real film still are easily distinguished.

[@DavidOldenburg1]

@tonyr.4778 it doesn't look really to me but it looks good :-)

[@tobypointer]

Thanks man....

[@tobypointer]

@tonyr.4778 It doesn't need to look real... most 3D animations don't look real.... Its not a necessity to tell a story.

[@zoltanvarga1999]

You don't need a stunning cinematic moment, you need stunning scenes that tell the plot of the story from coherent moments! The slow motion reported problem: I use accelerated, slow motion generated shots to give a more natural effect, but this results in shorter length details, i.e. a scene generated to be 4 seconds long is actually only 2 seconds.

[@waynemarya787]

You know what I love the most in this video, is that it is direct to the point with specific examples of shots discussed, and uses words that people that are not in the film industry and beginners can easily understand. Most of all the sentence "Don't forget to subscribe, like and click on the notif bell"; is at the very end of the video. usually, this sentence is used at the beginning, middle and end of the video which is sometimes annoying for me and ruins the pace and concentration of the video for me. This video is one example of how, if you are confident in your output, you don't need to say this sentence every time because people will eventually subscribe to your channel if they love it. This is one of the videos that is high value in terms of the knowledge in the filming world and is free to access. I am a beginner and boy, I can understand every shot that you are talking about. I am not stupid but if you are new in the film industry, you got a lot to understand. I finished your video without pausing and just listening and focusing on the topics you discussed. And I think I know I have the confidence now where to start. Hope you will have more videos about Runway ML like their Lipsync Feature.

[@afssai]

This is by far the most valuable video I seen about AI cinematic. Thanks! Yet I have a question if you can help me with.. I am starting to do some ideas in Ai, I think based on what I have learned so far, the best toolset for creating cinematics with Ai would be a mixture of midjourney and runway. But I am still thinking how we can keep the flow consistent. For example the character facials or appearances remains intact. For sure doing some actual post processing should be useful for keeping the color palette and tones matching but the character or environment I am still trying to figure out. Any idea?

[@tobypointer]

That's a great question. I'm also still working on figuring out how to keep the visuals consistent across different AI tools. In the next one Im training a Lora in Flux... so ill add a tutorial on that soon
