- **Event Description**: A practical in person workshop at Cannes for filmmakers who want to combine real footage with AI to create bigger, more cinematic results.About this Eventhttps://youtu.be/p329frb_hS8?si=3CsiKdso2k_s9JmrCombining real filmmaking with AIMost AI filmmaking looks impressive for three seconds and useless after that. This workshop is for filmmakers who want to use AI in a way that actually holds up inside a real project.This workshop is for filmmakers who want something better.At Cannes, during the film festival, filmmaker Blake Ridder will break down a practical AI filmmaking workflow built for real world projects. You’ll learn how to combine live action filmmaking with AI tools to create more ambitious, cinematic work without needing a massive budget, oversized crew, or endless post production time.This is not a theory talk.This is a live, practical workshop focused on how AI can actually support real filmmaking. You’ll see where it fits, where it falls apart, how to shoot with AI in mind, and how to blend real footage with AI in a way that still feels grounded and cinematic.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN• use AI to expand production value without making your work feel artificial• combine live action footage with AI in a way that still feels cinematic• plan concepts, shots, and visuals faster• shoot footage that works better with AI later• enhance scenes, backgrounds, inserts, and visual moments with AI• avoid the obvious mistakes that make AI work look cheap• build a practical workflow for indie films, commercials, proof of concepts, and cinematic content• understand which tools are useful, which are overhyped, and where each one actually fitsWHY THIS WORKSHOP IS DIFFERENTThere’s a lot of noise around AI right now.A lot of it is hype. A lot of it is gimmicky. A lot of it falls apart the second you try to use it on a real project.This workshop is built around a more useful question:How do you actually use AI as a filmmaker without losing realism, story, control, or taste?Blake’s approach is based on combining real filmmaking with AI, not replacing filmmaking with prompts. The goal is not to make soulless content faster. The goal is to help filmmakers create stronger images, bigger ideas, and more professional looking work with the resources they already have.WHO SHOULD ATTEND• directors• indie filmmakers• producers• cinematographers• editors• commercial filmmakers• content creators who want more cinematic results• anyone curious about AI but tired of shallow tutorials and fake looking examplesThis is less suited for people looking for a coding workshop or a purely technical software deep dive.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/d178cb60-2c01-11f1-a536-6780090db813-rimg-w1200-h331-dc131c2f-gmir.jpg 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM - VIP SectionA smaller private session for filmmakers who want direct feedback, deeper access, and a more hands on conversation after the main workshop.VIP attendees will get:• a more intimate small group session with Blake• direct feedback on their own project, content idea, or AI workflow• deeper discussion of tools, process, creative choices, and execution• closer access for questions that are too specific for the main room• extra networking with serious filmmakers in a smaller groupVIP spaces are intentionally limited.ABOUT BLAKEBlake Ridder is an award-winning filmmaker and storyteller known for practical cinematic work across films, branded content, and online education.
