CINEMATIC
EDITION

Multimedia Division

📅Jul 13 – Aug 6, 2026

📆17 Weekdays

👥5 Teams · 4 Real Clients

🎬3-Minute Deliverable Per Client

🤝Client Meetings: Days 3, 8 & 13

You are the director. AI is your crew.
This year the studio has real clients, real briefs, and real deliverables. Students produce a polished 3-minute multimedia video for an actual Caribbean business or government organisation — using AI tools as their production team and Claude as their prompting collaborator.

Section 01 — Client Intelligence

CLIENT
STRATEGY

Three confirmed clients across the Eastern Caribbean. Each has a distinct audience, communication challenge, and creative need. Teams study this before Day 3. Walk into every client meeting knowing more about their world than they expect.

🇩🇲

Outsource Development Studio

Roseau, Dominica

Consulting

A full-service business consultancy with 15+ years of experience in BPO, HR solutions, logistics, and professional development. They've grown beyond their boutique origins but their digital presence hasn't caught up. They need the world to see who they've become.

Core challenge

Need more international and regional recognition. Their expertise is deep but their story is untold outside Dominica.

Brand Story Corporate Profile Social Media Cinematic Human-Centered

Ask on Day 3

What does "exceptional service" look like for you in a real client moment?
Who is your ideal client — paint us a picture of them
What's the one thing you want people to feel after watching this video?
Do you have video testimonials or are interviews needed?
What has been your most transformational client success story?

🇦🇬

Digicel Group

Antigua & Barbuda

Telecom

Everyone knows Digicel for mobile. The challenge: corporate clients don't yet see Digicel as a one-stop enterprise solutions provider. They need to shift perception — from consumer telecoms to serious B2B partner offering cybersecurity, managed services, vehicle tracking, and more.

Core challenge

Corporate clients see Digicel as a phone company. The video must reframe them as a credible enterprise technology partner.

B2B Corporate Product Explainer Cybersecurity Premium Tone TV Delivery

Ask on Day 3

Which service is the priority — cybersecurity, or equal weight across all?
Can you share a real corporate client problem these services solved?
Who specifically watches this — C-suite, IT managers, procurement?
What does Digicel's brand voice sound like — assertive, reassuring, innovative?
Are there existing product demo videos or screenshots we can incorporate?

🇬🇩

Inland Revenue Division

Grenada

Government

Grenada's tax authority trying to make compliance feel relevant — not threatening — to a broad public including young people. They have existing footage, brand assets, and a clear message need: taxes matter, GTax makes it easy, compliance benefits everyone. They want motion graphics, animation, and social reels that actually get watched.

Core challenge

Taxpayers only engage during peak tax season. The video must make compliance feel civic, accessible, and relevant year-round.

Public Education Animation Motion Graphics Youth Audience Social Reels

Ask on Day 3

What existing video footage is available and can we review it?
Is the primary audience young people, or general public — who matters most?
How do you want people to feel about paying taxes — proud? informed? motivated?
What is GTax and how does it make compliance easier for the average person?
Are there any topics or framings that are off-limits politically?

Section 02 — Production Briefs

CLIENT
BRIEFS

One page per client. The working reference students keep open during production. Creative direction, tools, tone, dos and don'ts — everything a team needs to stay on brief across all three weeks.

The Gateway to the Federation — by Sea and by Air

Section 03 — Studio Tool Flow

HOW THE
TOOLS CONNECT

Every tool has one job and hands off to the next. The client brief is the starting point. OpenArt is the anchor that everything feeds into. Claude sits between students and every platform as their prompting collaborator.

Client
Brief

The starting point

Client Brief

Brand guidelines, assets, goals

→

Claude

Prompting collaborator

→

Students describe the client's brand, audience, and visual needs to Claude. Claude helps craft precise, production-ready prompts for every platform. This is how professional AI studios work — Claude is the bridge between creative intent and technical output.

Visual
World

Week 1 · Days 1–5

Meshy AI

Text-to-3D characters + props

→

Students build their client's characters and key visual assets in 3D. Meshy builds spatial understanding — students who have seen their character from all angles write fundamentally better OpenArt prompts. Meshy renders feed directly into OpenArt's character builder as reference images.

OpenArt

Concept art + character builder

→

Meshy renders + Claude-crafted prompts → OpenArt image generation. Character Builder locks the character's face and style for the entire film. Concept art library established — every storyboard panel gets a reference image. This visual identity carries through all of Week 3 production.

Luma AI 🌍

Gaussian splat · exploratory

→

Exploratory only — portfolio documentation. Students capture a real Caribbean location on their phone (Day 4 homework) and explore it as a navigable 3D environment on Day 5. Cultural immersion, industry awareness, emerging technology exposure. Does not feed into the client deliverable.

Plask.ai 🕺

Motion capture · exploratory

→

Exploratory only — portfolio documentation. Students record a culturally meaningful movement and watch it become animation data in the browser. Introduces motion capture as an industry concept. Does not feed into the client deliverable.

Sound
Stage

Week 2 · Days 6–10

Suno AI

Scene-matched music

→

Storyboard open, musical mood assigned per panel. Claude helps craft music prompts that match the client's brand tone. Scene-specific tracks generated and curated into a music library. Selected tracks feed into the final CapCut audio master in Week 3.

ElevenLabs

Voice + dialect narration

→

Narration script written panel by panel → fed into ElevenLabs. Voice profiles tested and calibrated to the client's audience. Output: timed narration audio, lip-sync ready. This audio file feeds directly into OpenArt Director mode for character lip sync in Week 3.

Freesound

SFX + ambient audio

→

Scene-by-scene soundscape — every storyboard panel gets its sonic world. Freesound + ElevenLabs SFX layered under music tracks. Full audio master assembled on Day 7 afternoon. This master file is the audio backbone of the final film.

Python 🐍

Soca beat machine · Day 10

→

Fun session — no client pressure. PyDub soca beat machine on Day 10 morning. Students build a Caribbean-flavoured track: intro, build, drop. Cool points: if the beat fits the client's video opening or closing, it can be included. Otherwise it's a standalone portfolio piece.

★

OpenArt
Anchor

$56/team · Infinite plan

OpenArt Director

The full studio in one platform

→

Everything feeds here. Week 1 character references + concept art + storyboard + Week 2 narration audio + music tracks → students open Director mode and describe their film in conversation. OpenArt generates scenes with consistent characters, lip-synced dialogue, music, and SFX — all in one platform. Kling 3.0 · Veo 3.1 · Sora 2 · Seedance 2.0 under one credit pool. Image-to-video · text-to-video · start/end frame · multi-character scenes · Director mode — students know all of this before Week 3 begins (Day 9 reveal session).

Video
Production

Week 3 · Days 11–15

OpenArt

Full film generation

→

Days 11–12: Full film generated in Director mode. All scenes produced with consistent characters. Start/end frame chaining applied between scenes for visual continuity. Every clip reviewed against the client brief before keeping. Gap analysis on Day 12 afternoon.

CapCut

Final assembly + polish

→

All OpenArt video clips + locked audio master + narration + titles assembled in CapCut. Colour grade, transitions, pacing, credits. Near-final cut screened for client on Day 13. Film locked on Day 14. Watermark-free export ready for delivery.

Canva

Pitch + portfolio

→

Director's commentary presentation built in Canva on Day 15. What was the brief? What creative decisions were made? Which tools were used and why? A professional reflection that shows the studio's thinking, not just its output. Delivered at the Premiere alongside the film.

🤝

per month · total software cost

Note on pricing: All subscription costs shown are monthly billing rates — no annual commitment required. Annual billing is available on most platforms at a 20–50% discount, but ties you to a 12-month contract. For a 3-week camp, monthly billing is the right call.

Why OpenArt is the anchor: One subscription covers image generation, video generation, Director mode, character consistency, lip sync, music scoring, voiceover, and SFX. Multiple industry-leading models (Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, Sora 2, Seedance 2.0) under one credit pool. Purpose-built for narrative storytelling with consistent characters — exactly what a client video requires. Students use it from Day 1 and grow with it across all 17 days.
