    Prior.002 — Programme

    Master the tools redefining how films are planned and made.

    01 — Previs

    Previsualization as directorial practice

    Master the discipline of planning films before a camera rolls. Storyboarding, animatics, virtual location scouting, shot design — previs is where directors make their most consequential decisions. We begin there.

    02 — Unreal Engine

    Unreal Engine as your virtual film set

    Learn to work in Unreal Engine the way the industry does — as a real-time camera, lighting rig, and world-building environment. Virtual production pipelines, in-camera VFX, and high-fidelity output from a home setup.

    03 — AI

    AI tools across the full pipeline

    Integrate AI at every stage of production — concept generation, reference imagery, script development, and asset creation. Work faster, experiment more freely, and direct with a precision that wasn't previously possible.

    "The greatest directors
    know exactly what they want
    before they call action.
    We teach that."
