Intro: One Website, One Cinematic Ad

Growing up, Adil was obsessed with the commercials that ran during football halftime breaks — and figured making one took a big budget and a real studio. It turns out you just need one website.

This course walks through that whole commercial from scratch, start to finish. It's a simple three-step workflow:

  • The assets — character, location, props — built in Soul Cinema and GPT Image 2
  • The prompting framework — a Claude skill that writes the shot prompts for you
  • The scenes — generated in Seedance 2.0, including the failed takes and what fixed them

Before diving into the steps, watch the commercial itself. It's built around football, but with a twist: Adil grew up on Jetix cartoons where robots came to life, so the ad mixes the two. That's the idea a tiny budget and the right tools can turn into something real, and the rest of the course shows exactly how it was made.
