Rudyard Cretenet, 2D Supervisor, had never used a generative AI tool before the Bootcamp. He came out with three pieces of work: architecture studies for a Paris that never was, made with Z-Image Turbo and Qwen Image Edit 2511; test shots for a film set in Belgium, reworked with Qwen Image Edit 2511; and Goosebumps, a one-minute film made with LTX 2.5 about an AI learning human emotion. This article covers each one, and what a compositor's eye brings to these tools.
Alexandre Grégoire, Technical Director, built an interactive AI image installation controlled by hand gestures, entirely in ComfyUI: custom nodes read the webcam, the menus are made of nodes, and the images are generated live by image-to-image on an RTX 3060. This article covers how it is built, the one rule that governs the interface, and what the jury said about bias and guardrails.
ainvfx-fluid is a free IC-LoRA for LTX 2.5. Paint a first and a last frame, get a 5-second smoke, steam or fire element in about a minute in ComfyUI. Full breakdown of the control video rules, the workflow, the prompting, and how the model was trained.
Full pipeline breakdown for INNOCENCE, a 2-minute short film submitted to the Arca Gidan Prize. Custom Z-Image and LTX-V 2.3 LoRAs trained on 73 hand-drawn ink images, image-to-video in ComfyUI, ink-wash transition effects through prompting, and HD delivery with SeedVR2.5.
ComfyUI doesn't have to be overwhelming. This comprehensive guide takes you from manual installation through creating your first complete AI workflow—image generation, multi-angle art direction, video creation, post-processing, and HD upscaling. Everything you need to go from beginner to confident.
