Choosing a build

Start with the shot at the end.

For a swimming pool, it’s the moment the water stays in. Pick a result you can show, then work back to the first thing that goes wrong.

BEHIND THE LAVA RIVER

Why a backyard lava river?

“How would that even work?” is a good starting point for a build video. Our lava river reached 14 million views on TikTok and 4 million on YouTube.Figures reported by The Building Box for this video. Student results vary.

INSIDE THE FULL KITS

What if a shot
comes out wrong?

Say the aquarium changes shape halfway through your AI video. Learn to find the first bad frame and replace that clip. In 3D, if the camera misses the turn in your lava river, you can move it and render that section again.

Course questions

How long does a course take?

Allow around 2–3 hours to read through one course. Set aside extra time for the exercises, generation, rendering and revisions on your own film.

Which course is right for me?

Choose AI animation for a faster, easier start with generated images and clips. Choose real 3D if you want editable scenes, reusable geometry, and more control over cameras and mechanisms. Each course is sold separately.

Can I use Claude instead of ChatGPT?

Yes. Both courses teach concept and script development with either ChatGPT or Claude. The real 3D course also lets you use either as your coding partner. Scene code still needs a compatible execution and rendering environment.

Which tools do I need for the AI course?

ChatGPT or Claude for ideas and scripts. Higgsfield for both image creation and video creation. ElevenLabs for voiceover. CapCut to assemble, caption, mix, and export the finished video. Subscriptions and generation credits are separate from the course price.

What is the difference between Entry and Full Kit?

Entry walks you through your first finished short. AI Full adds reference frames, clip repairs and credit budgeting. 3D Full adds targeted rerenders, camera and sound work, and a reusable scene library. Both Full Kits include Entry in the same track.

Can I reach 10K followers in one week?

Both Full Kits have a seven-day exercise for testing openings and reviewing watch time. How many people follow depends on how your videos perform. We can’t promise 10K in a week.

Does the countdown restart when I refresh?

No. Everyone gets the same price for the day. The offer changes at midnight in Los Angeles.
