Explore how Echo Hunter was created using generative AI through a structured, example-led workflow. In this live course, Kavan the Kid (director, co-founder of Phantom X) walks through the production process behind the film, covering how visuals, characters, and sequences were developed using AI tools in a real project context.
Built around the workflows used during the film’s release period in mid-2025, the course focuses on practical process and creative decision-making—including prompting approaches, tool selection, and maintaining visual consistency across shots. Techniques are demonstrated through project examples, with discussion of trade-offs, limitations, and iteration strategies.
You will gain a grounded understanding of how AI tools can be combined into a cohesive filmmaking pipeline, and how to adapt these approaches to your own projects.
Bonus: Recorded Q&A session with additional context on workflows, tools, and industry direction.
Disclaimer : This course focuses on core AI skills that apply beyond any specific tool or model. However, keep in mind that the models used in this course reflect the technology available from June 2025.
