The course, updated as the models change

How to generate videos like these

16 lessons, about 6 hours of reading, in the order you will actually work: the accounts, the Claude Code kit, the frames, the motion on three engine families, the Blender previz, the upscale, the post. Every lesson is rewritten when a model update changes the technique.

Last revised Sep 3, 2026

Lesson one is free

The rest of the course and the Starter Kit come with the Lab membership, $9.99/mo, or with the Previz Pack for the lessons published at the time you buy.

Only for the first 100 users, then $29.99/month
