    Character bible & continuity

    Define your characters and keep their look consistent from shot to shot.

    Add narration, dialogue, music and sound design that carry emotion.

  5. 05

    Editing & export

FAQs

Straight answers.

How much does it cost?

The masterclass is US$70. Joining the waitlist is free and no payment is taken now. Booking opens later, and you decide then whether to pay.

When is the class?

The date is still to be announced. It will be shared with the waitlist before payment opens. It's one live day, online, taught in English.

Is it for beginners?

Yes. It's designed for beginners. The target is that you leave with a 30–60-second AI-assisted short, but results depend on your effort, tools and setup — nothing is guaranteed.

What device do I need?

A computer gives the best experience; some steps can work on a smartphone. You'll need a stable internet connection. Some tools have their own hardware or browser requirements.

Are the tools really free?

We use tools with free tiers. Free tiers can have limited credits, watermarks, regional availability and hardware or internet requirements, and they aren't the same as every paid tool. Features may change at any time.

Is there a replay?

Yes. Booked participants get 30-day replay access after the live day.

Will this help me make money?

This is a creative skills class. There is no guarantee of income, clients, views or any other results.

What happens to my waitlist details?

They're used only to contact you about this masterclass. There's no public attendee list and no unrelated marketing. See the privacy section below.

Privacy, in plain words

What we collect: first name, email, country, time zone, device type, optional experience level, your two confirmations with the time and wording you agreed to, and — if you arrived from a campaign link — basic campaign tags (utm source, medium, campaign, term, content).

Why: to tell you the class date, share preparation details and let you choose whether to book this specific masterclass. When you join, we send one confirmation email for this masterclass; every email includes a link to unsubscribe.

What we don't do: there is no public attendee list, and your details aren't used for unrelated marketing. Submissions are stored privately and can't be read from this website.

To ask about or remove your details, contact Simplefem through the main site at simplefem.ca.
