AI-Powered Editing & Color Grading
This technical course updates the traditional post-production workflow with the latest AI-assisted tools. Students will learn how to drastically speed up their process using features like Text-Based Editing, Magic Masking, Voice Isolation, and Neural Color Grading. The focus is on using AI not to replace the editor, but to eliminate drudgery and unlock new creative possibilities.

| AI as Co-Creator | This course challenges the "Man vs. Machine" narrative, proposing instead a symbiotic relationship where Artificial Intelligence acts as a collaborator. |
| AI as Creative Partner | This interdisciplinary studio course reframes Artificial Intelligence from a "tool" to a "collaborator." It focuses on the psychological and workflow dynamics of working with a non-human intelligence. |
| AI, Code, & Art (AI & Art track) | Designed for the technical artist, this advanced track dives under the hood of generative tools. While other courses focus on using interface-based tools (like Midjourney), this course focuses on programming them. |
| AI, Design, and Immersive Experiences | This capstone immersive course merges Virtual Reality (VR) with Artificial Intelligence. Students will learn to create "Smart Environments"—virtual worlds populated by AI agents that can converse, navigate, and react to the user. |
| AI-Driven Fashion Design | This specialized course explores the intersection of high fashion and artificial intelligence. Students will learn to use generative tools to predict trends, design textiles, and visualize garments without the need for physical waste. |
