“Really cool course, opened my eyes and expanded my skill set very broadly. Seeing my classmates evolve and push the boundaries was very inspiring.
“The combination of expert guidance and a uniquely supportive community lowers the threshold for experimentation and unlocks new creative potential.
“AI for Creative Leaders was a blast — very enlightening and a lot of fun. The 3 months flew past and I’m having separation anxiety already. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to be clued in and learn the ropes of practical AI work.

Design a Transformation Roadmap for your Organization.
Every week you work with real tools and frameworks. By week 13, you’ll present a complete AI transformation roadmap: designed, tested, and refined with mentor feedback. Past capstones include:
Your project, your context.
Every project is tailored to your context — agency, studio, in-house team, or independent practice. You walk away with a roadmap you’ll actually take back to your organization.
Leadership responsibility (good vs. bad use of AI) History of AI AI as a team member Understanding change is not new Our transformation journey
Mapping of our creative process; Identifying what we want to protect, Methods for integrating AI into various stages of the creative workflow; Establishing "Human + Machine" models for effective collaboration; Workshop to adapt existing process maps for new AI touchpoints.
Brief overview of the LLM landscape and prompting techniques. Deepdive through the newest models, features of tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity...
Integrating IP constraints into AI workflows via the "Four A’s". Case Study: Sesame Street (IP consistency vs. manual QC). Discussion: Legalities, pitching AI tools to corporate clients, and navigating client education/expectations.
Image generation basics, Weavy, Magnific, upscaling, diffusion basics. The module is learning what kind of images help their work and what confuse the AI.
Project check-in. The students stop, breathe, and choose what is worth doing.
We move from using LLMs for thinking to using them to create tangible outcomes. We will use Claude to shape a concept, interface, and user journey, then build and deploy a simple website, product, or prototype using Claude Code and GitHub, Vercel.
Advanced image generation, complex upscaling workflows in Weavy and Magnific, fine-tuning diffusion parameters. The module focuses on controlling AI outputs for consistent, high-fidelity professional work.
Building on Week 5's commercial platform image basics, this session dives into advanced image generation logic. We transition from basic prompting to understanding that powerful image systems can be fragile, requiring a step-and-condition mindset.
Commercial AI Video integration using models like MIniMax 3, Seedance 2.5, and Flux3 in Magnific and Weave. Thinking like an AI director/producer. How to create production templates with Claude + MCP + Magnific and post-production in Weave. How to frame AI video as prototyping and mood, not a production replacement.
Suno ElevenLabs; deep dive into voice and music, emotion and alignment and ethical use; apply voice/music to the ai visual; lipsyncing in the iteration process; tools over perfection
Change management principles. Defining clear rules and guidelines for AI use, and setting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Establishing clear signals to measure success and risk. Students learn to plan their strategy and pitch their newly streamlined AI workflows. Presentation preparation.

“If You Want to Be on the Front Lines of Your Craft and Be the One Who Actually Knows What They’re Talking About — Take a Look at Lighthouse.”
Isaac
VFX Supervisor · AI for Creative Leaders + Advanced ComfyUI
Before
“I found Lighthouse back at the end of 2024, right when I first started smelling AI on the horizon. I knew that if I didn’t get ahead of the curve I’d get left behind, so I did what anybody would do. I dug deep, did my research, and Lighthouse kept rising to the top.”
— Isaac
During
“I won’t lie to you, it was hard and it was overwhelming at times. This is not a one button solution. You will be challenged and you will have homework, and that is exactly what made it great. Week by week you stack another building block on top of the last one, and at some point it clicks and you realize where you can actually inject control instead of just prompting and what I like to call ‘pulling the lever.’”
“A huge portion of that course dealt with the foundation of AI. What is it? How is it trained? Having that base has helped me more than I can say. Even now, with updates flying at you every single day, I can cut through the noise because I actually understand the basics.”
— Isaac
After
“You are learning how to steer AI right alongside a whole community and a group of colleagues who are all pitching into this new technology together, figuring out better ways of doing things as a group. That energy is hard to find anywhere else.”
“After I finished Creative Leaders it left me wanting more, so I jumped at the chance to take the Advanced ComfyUI course. So was it worth it? Hell yes. If you want to be on the front lines of your craft and be the one who actually knows what they are talking about, take a look at Lighthouse Academy. I am really glad I did.”
