MODULE 1 CAPSTONE PROJECT

Brief: Choose a real concept from your portfolio — a music video, brand spot, short film, or personal project — and build a one-page production memo that includes:

  1. The decision matrix applied per scene — list each major scene and place it on the emotional stakes × visual complexity grid. Mark each as AI, hybrid, or practical.

  2. Tool selection per scene — for each AI-bound scene, name the specific tools you'd use from the FxF Stack (image gen, video gen, voice, etc.).

  3. Total estimated cost — both traditional production cost and your AI production cost. Show the savings.

  4. Three failure modes to watch for — based on the seven failure modes covered, which three are most likely to bite this project? How will you mitigate?

  5. Pipeline diagram — sketch your handoffs: where does work move from tool to tool? Identify the friction points.
