How to Create a Professional AI Film (Step-by-Step)
Structuring a reliable pre-production and asset generation pipeline is essential for moving from raw AI generations to a cohesive film.
What this lesson covers
This video breaks down a step-by-step workflow for creating a professional AI film, moving from initial ideation and loglines to screenwriting and visual generation. It demonstrates practical methods for using Midjourney and Google Nano Banana to maintain visual style and character consistency.

Film production starts with observing daily life to gather ideas, which are then distilled into a concise logline and a treatment.
- 01:54 ↗
AI should be used as a creative assistant during the screenwriting process rather than relying on it entirely to write the script.
- 02:42 ↗
Midjourney is effective for establishing base styles and initial visual inspiration, but requires caution regarding third-party IP.
- 04:29 ↗
Google Nano Banana 2 and Pro offer strong prompt-following capabilities for generating specific characters and scenes.

Creating a four-panel character sheet on a white background helps establish consistent multi-angle references for future AI generations.
Workflow outlined in the video
- Write a clear logline and treatment detailing characters, conflict, and core story beats before starting visual generation.
- Use Midjourney or stock asset libraries to establish the overall visual style and mood for your film.
- Generate base character concepts using image models like Google Nano Banana 2.
- Create a four-panel character sheet showing front, side, back, and close-up angles to maintain character consistency across scenes.
