Session Overview
As part of the LBFF11 Industry Programme, join our Technical Director Mostafa for an essential one-hour seminar exploring the intersection of generative AI and traditional film development. In an industry where visualising a concept quickly and clearly can mean the difference between a pass and a green light, this session unpacks how to harness AI tools ethically, effectively, and safely.
With a dedicated focus on Adobe Firefly, Mostafa will guide attendees through practical workflows designed to streamline ideation, pre-production planning, and visual presentations. You will learn how to rapidly translate abstract narrative ideas into stunning, pitch-ready visual treatments—without compromising your artistic integrity or encountering copyright roadblocks.
What to Expect
  • Live Demonstrations: A real-time look at using Adobe Firefly for cinematic prompt-building, structure matching, and character concept generation.
  • World-Building & Storyboarding: Techniques for crafting cohesive moodboards and pre-visualisation assets that capture your film’s unique atmosphere.
  • The Winning Pitch Deck: Actionable advice on seamlessly integrating AI-generated art into professional director’s treatments and lookbooks.
  • Commercial Safety: A straightforward guide to using artist-friendly AI frameworks to ensure your pre-production assets are legally safe for industry use.
Who Should Attend?
Whether you are a director trying to communicate a visual style, a screenwriter building a world, a producer assembling a pitch, or an art director looking to speed up your workflow, this session provides the practical tools needed to elevate your next project.
The workshop has space for up to 40 attendees on a first-come-first-served basis.
