About Ruth

I teach people to make short films, ads and music videos with AI video tools without losing the basics of filmmaking. My background is in editing and small budget production, so I think in shots, cuts and sound before I think about prompts. Most AI clips look weak because nobody planned them, so my lessons start with a storyboard and end in an edit timeline. I am direct about the limits of current video models, and I teach the workarounds editors have always used: shorter shots, smart cuts and strong sound.
