35 Silver Visuals · Training Division

The set is the classroom.

Cinematography, direction and AI in one pipeline, taught by the working DPs who shoot with it. Three levels in Lisbon. Level 01 starts on 28 November 2026.

01 / Method

Fewer slides. More takes.

AI did not replace the set. It joined the crew. We teach the craft and the pipeline together, because that is how we shoot.

Real Set

Lights rigged, camera rolling, a real delivery deadline. Level 03 is a shoot, not a simulation.

Real Decisions

Lens, light, movement, prompt, cut. You make the calls under time pressure, then see the result and understand why.

Real AI

AI where it earns its place in the pipeline: previz, look development, full AI spots, hybrid post. Used the way we use it on paid work. Not a party trick.

Real Crew

Taught by the directors of photography who sign 35SV's projects. The method you learn is the method we shoot with.

02 / Levels

Three levels. One pipeline.

Everyone starts at Level 01. Finish it and Level 02 opens to you. Finish that and you're on set.

Level 01 · Pipeline · Sat 28 Nov 2026

The foundations. What AI actually is on a working set, which tools earn their place, and the full 35SV hybrid workflow from brief to delivery, built live in front of you. No AI experience needed. This is where everyone enters. Saturday 28 November 2026 · 10:00 to 14:00 · Lisbon · 15 seats.

Level 02 · Full AI · To be announced

Bring your laptop, leave with a spot: a full AI commercial, on the same pipeline we ship for clients. Opens to Level 01 participants.

Level 03 · Hybrid Production · To be announced

A script, a real shoot in a working studio, a real delivery deadline. You crew up with a working DP and see your hybrid production projected before you leave. Not everything is on the call sheet. Opens to Level 02 participants.

03 / Tracks

Two ways in.

Public Editions

For working professionals who want the hybrid pipeline: videographers, directors of photography, directors, editors and colorists, producers, photographers. Three levels in Lisbon, starting with Level 01 on 28 November. Small rooms, capped seats.

In-company

For brand and content teams putting AI into real production. Built around your equipment, your formats and your calendar, including AI literacy training for teams working under the EU AI Act. Delivered in Lisbon, London or wherever your team is.

04 / Edition 001

First call: 28 November.

Edition 001 starts with Level 01 on Saturday 28 November 2026, 10:00 to 14:00, in Lisbon. 15 seats. It is the first step of a three-level structure: each level builds on the one before and opens only to people who finished it. Book your seat on the tickets page.
